VAIL, Colorado " Skier parking rates are going up in Vail, Colorado, but so are the going rates for Vail Village's prime spaces.
In fact the latest price for a spot in Vail's Founders garage, located in the Village across from the Christiana, is $500,000.
"That's what I think the going rate is going from now on," said Buzz Schleper, the spot's owner. "Parking is going up in Vail, and it's a block from the Vista Bahn."
The latest parking spot sales in the garage went for nearly $350,000, said real estate agent Craig Denton of Ron Byrne Associates.
Another spot almost sold for $385,000, but the deal was not completed, he said.
Schleper, owner of Buzz's Ski Shop in Vail, said he thinks his price is fair, because the spot is located on the top floor next to the exit.
He isn't in a big hurry to sell the spot " he posted an advertisement in the Vail Daily Monday " but he thinks that eventually there will be takers.
"There's always somebody out there who has money to spend on a good Vail parking spot," he said. "I'm sure it'll sell. There's no hurry."
He said he owns another spot on the bottom level of the garage, and is selling the top-level spot to "raise a little capital for a project."
The Founders Garage opened in 2005 and has 114 spaces in an indoor, heated building.
Eric Strauch, of Edwards, said he sees the spots in the village as prime real estate investment. Strauch is currently selling a spot on the top floor of the Founder's Garage for $385,000.
"It's supply and demand," he said. "There are lots of very wealthy folks around and this connects them to the (slopes). It's an investment in Vail Village real estate. I've sold some in Beaver Creek also."
Strauch has advertised the spot in the Vail Daily for a few weeks and received 15 to 20 phone calls from people interested in the spot. Many callers were homeowners from downvalley, he said.
"There is actually a market. When people will spend that much, they do care where (the spot) is. Mine is on the top floor," he said.
He said he thinks the parking space market in Vail is comparable to New York City. Actually " a prime Vail spot can cost even more.
According to articles by the International Herald Tribune and CNN Money, the going rate for a New York City parking space can go up to $275,000 or $300,000, and waiting lists for spots starting at $225,000 can be up to seven or eight people long.

CARSON -- The Earthquakes' scoreless tie against the Los Angeles Galaxy at StubHub Center on Sunday night all but ended San Jose's hopes of reaching the Major League Soccer playoffs.
Officially, the Quakes were not eliminated. But it would require an improbable chain of events this weekend to secure one of the Western Conference's five spots.
Not only does San Jose (13-11-9) have to win its final regular season game on Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium combined with a Colorado loss to Vancouver the following day, the Quakes also must make up a 12-goal difference on the Rapids as the tiebreaker. That means San Jose would need to score at least 13 goals against Dallas -- more if Colorado is not shut out.
"Unfortunately," forward Chris Wondolowski said, "we backed ourselves into a corner and dug ourselves a hole too deep."
The Quakes, who extended their unbeaten streak to seven games in all competitions, moved within three points of the Seattle Sounders and Colorado, who share fourth place in the Western Conference. For the Galaxy, the tie secured a playoff berth.
The game was so intense that after the final whistle Galaxy players bent over with their hands on their knees, and the Quakes' Shea Salinas knelt with a hand covering his face.
"It felt like a playoff game," Salinas said. "Every guy was battling his heart out."
Quakes coach Mark Watson said, "I thought our guys were fantastic. They left every single thing on the field. I couldn't really have asked for anything more from them."
The Quakes relied on superior defensive positioning and discipline to frustrate Los Angeles (15-11-7). Galaxy players with the ball attracted at least two markers and found the Quakes fighting for every ball.
"To keep the Galaxy at bay and have a bunch of chances to win the game, I think is a fantastic performance," Watson said. "We had six or seven good chances."
The Quakes' two best scoring chances came in the first half, and Galaxy goalkeeper Jaime Penedo foiled them both. Penedo lunged to his right to parry Steven Lenhart's 7-yard header off Salinas' corner kick in the 27th minute, then did the same with Wondolowski's 11-yard header from Lenhart's right-wing cross in the 41st minute.
Quakes goalkeeper Jon Busch made three saves to earn his third successive shutout and his ninth of the season.

It's a little late for Christmas, but just in time for hungry animals looking for a home.
SPCA Cincinnati received a holiday gift of pet food from Procter & Gamble's IAMS on Friday.
The pet food maker gave 40,000 pounds of pet food to the group's open admission adoption facility in Sharonville.
"We are very fortunate to receive this donation. We believe that feeding dogs and cats in our care quality nutrition makes them become more adoptable," Harold Dates, President & CEO, said in a news release. "Food is a major expense for our shelter; donations from IAMS make it possible to keep our adoption fees as low as possible to ensure that every animal finds a forever home."

It may seem a lifetime ago, but as recently as 2000 the issue of climate change was a prominent one in the American consciousness. Al Gore was a household name, public opinion polls showed environmental protection as a top concern, and pop culture frequently blended ecological themes with entertainment (remember Captain Planet, or Fern Gully?). In politics as well, discussion of climate change was required. The subject had been raised in every presidential debate since 1988, and candidates accordingly treated the issue as a serious matter. Yessir, climate change was riding high.
Then came the deniers. Soon after George W. Bush was elected, fossil fuel and other business lobbies stated publicly that they were beginning a campaign to convince the public that global warming was a hoax. It was a bold ploy. At the time, public opinion was more or less settled on the subject and the science appeared incontrovertible. The strategy was simple: attack the science at every level in order to introduce doubt and seed the idea that "the matter was far from settled". To this end, the fossil fuel industry funded the Heartland Institute, a cabal of denial and pseudo-science that held a shadow convention every year to discuss its own theories on climate change. Fox News aggressively pushed this agenda by ridiculing legitimate science and gleefully demonizing climate activists like Al Gore and Michael Mann. Big Oil hoped this campaign of vilification and manufactured doubt would confuse the public enough that they could score a few more years of record-breaking profits without interference.
It succeeded. In a time of economic turmoil, deniers were able to tap into conservative distaste for big government by portraying environmental regulation as a job-killing bureaucracy. This blitz produced a sharp drop in the percentage of conservatives and independents who believed in climate change (liberals were affected too, but to a lesser degree). Climate denial became a darling theme of the fledgling Tea Party movement, which framed the issue in religious terms and even went so far as to make it part of their official platform.
Around this time, a Cap and Trade bill was steaming forward in Congress. The public, influenced by the denier's media blitz, came to see Cap and Trade as a job killer and an unwanted increase in the size of government. The ascendant Tea Party flexed its muscles by sending members to scream at congressional leaders who supported the bill. In the end the pressure was too great, and Cap and Trade was killed in the Senate. Since then, Americans have been happy to move on and forget. The science has never wavered, but wars and economic hardship have made us turn inward to focus on more tangible concerns.
People have frighteningly short memories, and so I lay all this out to show that things were not always the way they are now. Our attitudes are influenced by cultural background noise. The more something is talked about, the more real it becomes. Below are a couple of good videos that further elaborate on the push for climate denial and who's behind it. The first is an interview with Noam Chomsky, who lays out an entire landscape of climate denial and the desire to peg it as a liberal hoax.
The real impetus for this post was a piece that PBS did last week on the merchants of climate doubt. It does an excellent job exploring the inner core of the denialist camp, showcasing the depth of their delusion and the fervency with which they attack reputable science on the subject.

We are committed to entertaining our viewers with content that propels them in a new direction and setting the agenda for entertainment on Hindi GECs."
That"s not all, the channel also showed a glimpse of two of it"s upcoming shows, "Master Chef India" and "Chaand Chhupa Baadal Mein". The former is a cookery reality show that will be hosted by Akshay Kumar while the latter is producer Rajan Shahi"s latest offering to the channel after "Bidaai "and "Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai".
When asked whether through "Master Chef India", the channel will be competing with Priyanka Chopra ("Fear Factor"), Shankar replied, "Priyanka is just an individual, and we aren"t here to compete with individuals. Our emphasis is on producing good and entertaining shows for the viewers."

The FAQ
Nonetheless, most of what is here is true at least some of the time. Some is true darn near always. And the rest you really don't want to know about. In fact, you might be better off just clicking the link above and getting out of here early. WARNING: WARNING: There might be a serious question somewhere among the following.
If Hampton Raods is not a place, why is it in your name? Yeegads man, Virginia is a place, Hampton Roads is a virtual journey, a zen like place that exists and yet it does not. How better to capture the essence of motorcycle zen than to have it in a name for a people who seek adventure riding the pavement going to a from a place that isn't . Here puff on this a minute and you will understand.
Isn't the club mostly just a bunch of geezers who spend all their time drinking coffee, eating breakfast and talking about Beemers?
Yes, except for the women, punks, squids, campers, dual-sport riders, high-mileage tourers, commuters, rally trash, cops, racers, thirty-somethings, collectors, trials riders, wrenches, gen-Xers, canyon carvers and dudes. (Did we leave anybody out?)
Yes, but any vehicle with two or three wheels and an engine over 90ccs is considered an honorary BMW for purposes of fulfilling this requirement.
Is it true that club officers put Harleys down all the time?
No, club officers have nothing against Harleys. Some of them have even owned Harleys. Many members in good standing own, or have owned, Harleys. Some have even ridden them. Some cool folks ride Harleys, but owning a Harley won't make you cool, nor will it necessarily make you a rider.
Is there a difference between being a motorcycle Owner and being a motorcycle Rider?
All the difference in the world.
Is BMWMCHR affiliated with any other BMW clubs?
Yes, we're not picky; if they will admit to sharing the same interest, we're cool with them. Beyond that we are a chartered Chapter Club of the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America (BMW MOA) and RA
Are any BMWMCHR members also members of other clubs?
Yes; in no particular order, Airheads, RA, MOA, AMA, AARP, Mickey Mouse Club, Price Club, Kiwanis
Are there any requirements for attendance at club events before joining?
No, you must have mistaken us for a Yahmaha riding group.
Are there any requirements for attendance at club events after joining?
The only requirement for attendance at club events is that members should attend events if they hope to have a good time and not otherwise.
[we'll get back to you on that when we stop laughing]
Yes, sorta: We invite all our friends that we know and some we don't to meet in the Virginia woods one weekend in October. Highlights are the donuts, crabcakes, door prizes and riding.
OK, I'll have the Hickory Skillet, eggs over easy, coffee. Try to arrive somewhere between 7 and 8 am any Saturday at the monthly breakfast at Golden Corral (see directions on home page).
What are the benefits of membership in BMWMCHR?
Health Plan, Dental, Vision, 12 paid holidays, three weeks annual vacation, oodles of sick leave, free parking and day care; some restrictions apply. (Restriction #1: none of the above are offered to club members or officers.) Members are entitled to discounts - very cool - at certain local businesses but we don't know who they are.
What is the club's position on helmet laws?
club's position is we're a riding club, not an advocacy group; check out AMA if you are looking for representation in
the corridors of power. My position is your choice of helmet is a pretty good
indicator of how highly you value your mental acuity; under current Virginia
law, every rider has the right to proclaim to the world by deed, "My brain
is worth all the protection a yarmulke with a strap can offer." (Technical
note: this word processor, unlike me, actually knew how to spell yarmulke.)
What are
the rules for group riding?
How fast do groups typically ride?
speed limits are observed at all times (as in, "By golly, there's another
speed limit signpost; I'd better be sure not to run into it - some of those
suckers are anchored pretty well in the ground"). There is no pressure to
ride like anybody else. So it is possible some people might be wicking it up a
little more than others, particularly in the twisty parts. As a group we
all respect the rider who knows his/her skill level and rides
accordingly. "Riding your own ride" is
What kind of BMWs do members ride?
We have
the whole variety pack: from /5s to K1200RSs, and everything in between:
airheads, oilheads, flying bricks, Funduros - tourers, sport tourers,
dual-sports, bare-ass boxers, and even (gasp) cruisers. Actually, there might
be some /2s hidden away somewhere, but we don't see them often anymore. (If the
reader is not sure what all these terms mean, come to breakfast some Sunday,
ask some questions and maybe, just maybe, you'll be lucky enough for somebody
to bore you to tears with techno-babble. But you'll have to bring it on
yourself by asking for it.) We also see members on KTMs, Hondas,
Harleys, BSAs, Triumphs, Buells, Kawasakis, Yamahas and Suzukis (I just
don't remember seeing any of these lately). It is always interesting to see
what people show up riding to get to a Sunday breakfast.
So what is the deal with the monthly Sunday morning breakast?
Being God
fearing folks, we gather together to give thanks for the blessings that BMW
provides to our lives and have no reason to have Sunday any different than any
other day…you do ride your BMW before breakfast every day don't you?
What kinds of occupations are represented among the members?
Well, when
not riding our Beemers, quite a few of us moonlight as business owners, nurses,
programmer/developers, bureaucrats, technicians, active-duty military,
architects, middle-management scum, doctors, salesmen, peace officers or even
lawyers. We proudly count many hard-core unemployed among our members, but some
of them masquerade as "retirees" or "consultants." Nobody
has admitted to being a politician in my hearing lately, but we'd take 'em if
they wanted to ride with us (right, gang?).
Is the club prejudiced against people who prefer motels to tent camping?
No, most
of us are old enough or busted up enough to understand the appeal of sleeping
in beds. On the other hand, some of us can't resist jerking the chains of those
who think sleeping in a state park or KOA is an extreme sport. (Actually, now
that I think of it, there are vague recollections of some pretty extreme
in-tent sports when I was much younger, a-loaf-of-bread-a-jug-of-wine-and-thou
kind of things. We'll just quietly leave it at that.)
How do you decide what is the right kind of jacket or riding suit to wear? Are leathers really better?
Better than what? Better for what? Lots of club members own leather riding gear; most of them also have jackets and/or pants made of various trademarks (Cordura, Nylon, GoreTex, Kevlar -- you get the idea). I would bet that 9 out of 10 of our active members, forced to select only one set of riding togs, would select the synthetic outfits over leather. Why? 'Cause most of us are more or less four-season, more or less touring riders. That means we ride when it's cold, when it's hot, when it's wet (or when all of these happen in succession on the same trip). Leather tends to lose on at least two of those fronts. Leather is wonderful stuff; it's perfect for track racing (when comfort doesn't mean anything) and for rides on dry days in the spring and fall, to say nothing of impressing [insert slang term for whatever you want to impress].
So how do you decide what is the right kind of stuff to wear? Your best bet is to talk to riders who do the kind of riding you want to do mostly. Come to the monthly breakfast some time or a club ride and see what people are wearing. If anybody is going to try to sell you on a type of clothing, I guarantee he/she will be pushing something in the synthetic family.
I thought I was ready to buy a BMW and then one guy said I really should get an airhead, then another said I was crazy to buy an antique design and should go for the modern K bike 4 cylinder. Just about when I was ready to plop my money down, another friend piped up that if I didn't go for an R1100 I was missing out. What should I do? How do you decide? I can only afford one bike.
Ride them all; visualize what you are really going to do with the machine; follow your heart; don't be swayed by people who feel some kind of need to make you do what they did, and thus to justify themselves. If you are a good wrench, you might get a lot of satisfaction from doing all your own work on an Airhead. If you like the power, feel and road-handling engineering of an Oilhead (=R1100 etc.), go for that. If you like the K-bike performance and feel over the twins, particularly if you are leaning toward luxo-touring, there you go. If anybody says you are crazy to buy a particular type of machine, he/she is an ass, and your most intelligent course of action is simply to walk away. (There is one exception to this world-class rule of thumb: if somebody says you'd be crazy to buy what he/she has, find out exactly why; the advice might be useful.) In the G/S crowd, I see some guys getting off on R1100 GS's and then there is the R100GS crowd that apparently could well afford an upgrade, but don't seem to do that. Why?
If you like what you have, why jack around? Alternately, you might genuinely prefer the simpler technology of the R100GS. You might feel that the R11 GS is too goddamned heavy to be taken seriously offroad. Maybe half your innumerable accessories wouldn't be compatible with the newer machine. You might be able to afford an upgrade mainly by knowing better than to covet all the latest gadgets. Some people actually believe in using it up before throwing it away (or even before trading it in).
Why don't you guys sponsor more than one Rally a year or have more group events? You have to be the only club in the universe with a single event a year. Are your members "Event-challenged"?
Why don't ***you*** sponsor an Event? It's a lot of work. The mission, charter and purpose of BMWMCHR is to enjoy riding, not to prove organizational skills or flog its members' time and energy. And if we are the only club in the universe with just one event, as you suggest, that is sufficient reason by itself: it would be a pathetic little universe with so little variety as to be limited to cookie-cutter club calendars.
I am really interested in international travel, adventures by motorcycle...long trips etc. Are there any others in the club that have that interest? Any trips planned?
There are folks in the club who've ridden in Mexico, Central America, New Zealand, and Europe; but there is no upcoming gig actively in discussion at the moment. Some members have gobs of experience riding abroad, thanks to military duty. Occasionally we've had members who have left the country rather abruptly and haven't returned as of yet -- we've never known exactly why. No trips planned but everyone dreams.
Is the club affiliated with any national organizations (MOA, RA, etc?)
The club is affiliated with the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America and the RA. Makes us special.
How do I know when it is time to replace a tire?
OK, kids, it's time for a quiz. Which do you think is the best time to replace a tire?
A-When I
get home from this trip
The correct answer is: F. When I am preparing for the inspection at Track Day.
BEEP! No, really, what are the visible signs a tire has had it?
Oh, you really want to know when you should replace the tire? There is a range of opinion as to the critical signs a tire needs to be replaced. Let's look at some popular trigger events:
A-Little whiskers are getting stumpy - Considering that some wannabe hotshots actually use a nail clipper to remove the little whiskers - hoping to be mistaken for hard riders - it is safe to say the whispers are not an important tire safety feature. Keep riding.
B-Flat center tread - If the middle section of your rear tire is clearly worn flat, you may not need a new tire right away, but you probably need to change the way you ride or the type of roads you ride on. Take a look at the tires on a new bike sometime. Notice, both tires have a rounded profile, more like Captain Piccard's head than Fred Munster's? That's what yours should look like. The way to keep them looking like that is that leaning thing you've read about.
C-Worn down to wear bars - Strangely enough, the wear bars really are intended to inform you when your tire's life is about used up. This is not a greedy plot by the manufacturer to conn you into buying new rubber prematurely.
D-What the hey are wear bars? See C above. Have you ever considered taking the MSF basic safety course?
E-No visible tread pattern over half of the tread profile - Listen, a street tire worn down slick does not magically become a racing tire. And no, just because it isn't raining, you can't assume the tire is just as good as ever.
F-Cords showing - Has anybody ever told you you're one cheap SOB?
Q. Are
cell phone talkers trying to get
you? Or, why do so many drivers (and absolutely every female
driver under 30) find it necessary to talk on the mobile phone while pulling
away from the curb? Why can't they finish the bleeping call before getting in
Q. How far over the posted speed
limit can I "safely" go?
Q. Do radar detectors really work?
Q. Is
it OK to use the "motorcycle passing lane"?
Q. How far over the suggested speed (shown on
yellow signs) can I go through turns?
Q. What
should I be doing about the terrorist threat?
Do you have a question that isn't answered above? Then fire it off to the Webmaster and you may well be answered.

Explores issues of race and white privilege
Excerpted from White Anti-Racist Activism: A Personal Roadmap by Jennifer R. Holladay, M.S. (Crandall, Dostie & Douglass Books, Inc., 2000)
On Racism
Racism is a doctrine or teaching, without scientific support, that does three things. First, it claims to find racial differences in things like character and intelligence. Second, racism asserts the superiority of one race over another or others. Finally, it seeks to maintain that dominance through a complex system of beliefs, behaviors, use of language and policies. Racism ranges from the individual to the institutional level and reflects and enforces a pervasive view, in whitedominated U.S. culture that people of color are inferior to whites.
Racist beliefs include things like "White people are smarter than people of color," or "White people make better teachers." Racism can manifest itself in terms of individual behavior through hate crimes, or in institutional behavior through employment discrimination. Racism might manifest in individual language through the use of slurs, or in institutional policy through a school's selection of Eurocentric textbooks.
Related to these relatively obvious manifestations of racism is a subtle system that also contributes to the maintenance of the racial status quo. That subtle system is white skin privilege.
On White Privilege
White skin privilege is not something that white people necessarily do, create or enjoy on purpose. Unlike the more overt individual and institutional manifestations of racism described above, white skin privilege is a transparent preference for whiteness that saturates our society. White skin privilege serves several functions. First, it provides white people with "perks" that we do not earn and that people of color do not enjoy. Second, it creates real advantages for us. White people are immune to a lot of challenges. Finally, white privilege shapes the world in which we live — the way that we navigate and interact with one another and with the world.
White Privilege: The Perks
White people receive all kinds of perks as a function of their skin privilege. Consider the following:
• When I cut my finger and go to my school or office's first aid kit, the flesh-colored band-aid generally matches my skin tone.
• When I stay in a hotel, the complimentary shampoo generally works with the texture of my hair.
• When I run to the store to buy pantyhose at the last minute, the 'nude' color generally appears nude on my legs.
• When I buy hair care products in a grocery store or drug store, my shampoos and conditioners are in the aisle and section labeled 'hair care' and not in a separate section for 'ethnic products.'
• I can purchase travel size bottles of my hair care products at most grocery or drug stores.
My father, who has worked in economic development for 30 years, would explain away these examples of white privilege as simple functions of supply and demand economics. White people still constitute the numerical majority in this country, so it makes sense, for example, that bandaid companies would manufacture "flesh-tone" bandages for white people.
Even if I concede to his argument (and ignore the "buying power" of communities of color), it still does not change the impact of these white privileges. As a white person, I get certain perks that people of color do not; I get the bandages and the pantyhose and the shampoo at the hotel that works with my hair. And in a new grocery store, I will not have to scan the aisles for my hair care products. They will be in the section called "hair care." This is how I experience the world.
These seemingly benign perks also demonstrate a danger on closer examination. Let's say that I forgot to pack my shampoo for a business trip. When I get to the hotel, I see that the complimentary shampoo is not the standard Suave product to which I am accustomed but rather Pink Oil Lotion for African American hair. I would be surprised and might even think to myself: "Those black folks and all their lobbying … This is so unfair!" I expect these perks. As a white person, I think I am entitled to them.
White Privilege: The Advantages
Certainly, white privilege is not limited to perks like band aids and hair care products. The second function of white skin privilege is that it creates significant advantages for white people. There are scores of things that I, as a white person, generally do not encounter, have to deal with or even recognize. For example:
• My skin color does not work against me in terms of how people perceive my financial responsibility, style of dress, public speaking skills, or job performance.
• People do not assume that I got where I am professionally because of my race (or because of affirmative action programs).
• Store security personnel or law enforcement officers do not harass me, pull me over or follow me because of my race.
All of these things are things that I never think about. And when the tables are turned and my white skin is used against me, I am greatly offended (and indignant). The police department in my community, like so many other law enforcement agencies throughout this country, uses policing tactics that target people of color. Two years ago, I was driving down Rosa Parks Boulevard, a street that runs through an all-black and impoverished area of town, at night. I was looking for a house that I had never been to before, so I was driving slowly, stopping and moving as I searched for numbers on residences.
Out of nowhere, this large police van pulled me over, blue lights flashing and sirens blaring, and a handful of well-armed police officers jumped out of the van and surrounded my car. I did as I was told, and got out of my car. ("Hands above your head; move slowly!") I then succumbed to a quick physical pat-down, as well as a search of my car. The officers had pulled me over -- not only because of my erratic driving -- but also, because, in the words of one officer, I was "a white woman driving down Rosa Parks after dark." They thought I was looking to buy drugs.
When I went to the office the next day, I relayed my story to several white colleagues. They shared my sense of violation, of anger, of rage. These co-workers encouraged me to call our legal department and report the incident. I later told the story to a colleague who is black and who lives on Rosa Parks. "You just never have to worry about those things, do you, Jennifer?" she asked and then walked off. In twelve words, she succinctly challenged my sense of privilege.
White Privilege: The World View
The third thing that white privilege does is shape the way in which we view the world and the way in which the world views us. The perks and advantages described above are part of this phenomenon, but not all of it. Consider the following:
• When I am told about our national heritage or "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
• Related, the schools that I attend or have attended use standard textbooks, which widely reflect people of my color and their contributions to the world.
• When I look at the national currency or see photographs of monuments on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., I see people of my race widely represented and celebrated.
As a white person, I see myself represented in all of these places. And, until a couple of years ago, I never questioned that representation — or why people of color were excluded. After all, people like me have done a lot for this country and for the world. If people of color had done their part, so the theory goes, they too would see themselves represented.
Well, people of color have done more than their share for this country. There is an old saying that the victors of war get to write the history of the world. White privilege works this way, too. Since white folks have been in control for so long, we have determined what is valuable or interesting or useful in terms of education. Greek and Roman mythology, Chaucer, and other canonized works have been selected and revered through the ages as critical components of any "solid liberal arts education."
I rarely have to question the validity of these selections — this is, after all, what is valuable and considered "the real stuff." And I am entitled to a good education, aren't I? I never question how or why some things are valued and others are not — why some things are important to "us" and other things are not. When people begin talking about diversifying a curriculum, one of the main things that opponents say is: "I am not willing to lower standards for the sake of minority representation."
The Black Student Coalition at my college, for example, lobbied the faculty to diversify the readings for the Literature 101 class, a required course for first-year students. One professor objected, saying: "You want me to replace Chaucer with the likes of Alice Walker?" Why do we value Chaucer more than the literary offerings of Alice Walker, Toni Morrison, or Audre Lorde? Who assigns that value and on what basis?
Things are starting to change slowly. Perhaps your high school hosted programs during Black History Month or during Asian and Hispanic Heritage Months. Maybe your college offered courses in Black, Latino, Caribbean, Native American, Asian or ethnic studies. These are good places to start, but we should not need separate months or classes. Black history is U.S. history; Chicano literature is valuable literature.
White privilege is a hidden and transparent preference that is often difficult to address. Only on closer inspection do we see how it creates a sense of entitlement, generates perks and advantages for white people and elevates our status in the world.
The concept is sound. As the
The concept is sound. As the dominant ethnic group in the United States, whites have distinct advantages. Because we have been the majority for most of the US's existence, and created the political, economic, legal, and educational systems that govern this country we tend to occupy positions of power. And as is typical of humanity, the ethnic majority in a given society tends to have negative views of minorities, who are outside the ingroup and seen and treated as 'other'. It's a dynamic that is all but universal. That said, there is no need to feel guilt or be ashamed about it. To do so would be absurd. After all, you can't help what color skin you were born with. What matters is how you respond. Do you support policies that help even the playing field? Or do you shrink back in denial, tell yourself that it's not true, and continue on with status quo? In the end, if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem.
In my experience as a
In my experience as a hispanic person, the main problem racially has been ethnocentrism rather than outright racism. According to Oxford dictionary ethnocentrism is the "evaluation of other cultures according to preconceptions originating in the standards and customs of one's own culture." Racism is easy to spot. Ethnocentrism is more subtle.
Taking Baby Steps
Walking into this territory, while worrying about all kinds of landmines, is something I have be doing, largely on my own, for a while as a teacher in the Wisconsin elementary school where I've taught for over a decade. Last year, I found in a new colleague someone with whom I could talk about sensitive topics around race while including children and having fun. What we came up with this year was a web series called SIT DOWN WITH SMITH & KORNBLATT, which I filmed during my lunch break and edited on my own time after school.
While Mr. Smith (a bi-racial man under 30) and I (a white Jewish guy past 60) thought what we were doing made pedagogical and social-emotional sense, in addition to deepening our friendship, there were some people who were not so sure, wondering if what we were doing was developmentally appropriate for children, if not a bit heavy-handed. I'm curious to hear what others think about this.
Here's a link to our tenth episode -- I created 11 -- devoted to white privilege. Here's a link to the entire series. http://refugefilms.net/sit-down-with-smith-and-kornblatt/ Thanks, in advance, for your response.
I do have a problem with this entire philosophy. And every time I address it again I am more irritated. There are several reasons. The arguments are completely illogical and without substance. An intelligent person is fully aware that when driving into a poor, black community you are in danger. Not only from being a suspect but from gangs, and thugs and drug dealers. If you are in any way not living in a bubble and have ever watched the news you should not have been there alone and should have been grateful to see the police. Because I generally assume people are not that dumb, I am saying instead you made it up to make a point that "white" skinned people do not have to think about race. Consider this. No one has to think about race. It is a social construct with no scientific basis and bias is largely psychological within all races. Blacks use this philosophy to condemn and it fuels even further resentment that poisons their culture and causes them to excuse their own behavior, all the harm they cause, due to the worse crime of being white and privileged. Science and history are the ways intelligent people discuss race and the systematic catagorization of peoples among all peoples not made up illogical arguments about pantyhose. If this article was written by a white woman, she knows for a fact that none of those pantyhose colors comes close to matching anyones skin and it was the most frustrating thing until most of us just gave them up. (the shampoo thing is interesting, however I suggest that if it is such an issue that minorities, especially the wealthy ones, do something about it. Apparently when a person has obtained enough of their own "white privilege" due to having obtained enough money to purchase it as a minority those things become less important, interesting) In my neighborhood white children are hard to find and now, in this climate, thanks to you and your spurious philosophy, my sons color makes him a criminal, too privileged. Instead of race baiting and feeding the resentment that poisons our society why not discuss our shared experiences? White poor people know for a fact all their disadvantages. They do get followed in stores, especially young ones and more especially if they happen to have a skateboard. We get pulled over because of our junky rusty cars and get ticketed more often. Do we think it is about race? No, of course not. No one needs to think it is about race. Racializing everthing is a predominately black culture occupation by choice, not neccessity. It causes resentment and is fueled by resentment. There is no basis for pursuing this philosophy and it will not serve our communities. If you want to pursue it you need to do scientific studies that can be peer reviewed. Oh, by the way, here comes a little cognitive dissoanance for you, I was followed around the make up department at Target just the other day and asked seeral times if I needed help. After the fourth time of saying no thank you I left. She obviously thought I was stealing.Talk about shared experiences if you are really interested in tolerance and uniting communities. Talk about racial disparities and privilege if you want to further divide us.

Awesome subject !
Can you tell me when we will be doing something about the overrepresentation of Jewish Americans in higher paying jobs ?
Take a Course in Logic
Most of the examples cited in this article conflate privilege with rights. For example, being treated fairly by the police is not a privilege, but rather a right, and to the extent that blacks are not treated fairly by the police is the extent of an injustice perpetrated upon them. White people do not "benefit" from an injustice perpetrated upon blacks in this case.
In general, this article is a vain attempt by a white person trying to prove their racial "sensitivity", but the only thing proven is the extent of her idiocy.
The Law.
Perhaps they could stop breaking it ?
I've had the police drive up
I've had the police drive up to me while just walking down the street. They made me put my arms on the hood of their squad car while they went thru my backpack. They asked me all kinds of redundant questions, as if to catch me lying about something. They didn't tell me why they stopped me until all this was over. Here is the explanation..."You fit the description of a suspect we were looking for. A dark skinned male w/ a backpack." My mother is half white and my father half Native American. I am, by no means, DARK skinned. But to those policeman, I was just a black guy. Therefore, already suspect. I think you know your comment is rooted in racism...Otherwise, why say it anonymously.
Arent you the anonymous racist pot calling the kettle racist
You say they are racist proven by the anonymous post, yet you post anonymously?
Regardless of that, you said
"I am, by no means, DARK skinned,"
but then said it was because you were black? This is an example of privilege alright - the privilege of blaming everything on your skin color, even when you have admitted your skin doesn't match the color of the group you are using as a victim. How ridiculous.
Beautiful one, you are truly a breath of fresh air! I'm left speechless after reading the manner in which you shared your transparency!!! If only others could be so real!!! Blessings to You,
Just My Two Cents...
Well-written article, and how refreshing to see intelligent, thoughtful comments from intelligent folks. Not long ago, I attempted to have this very conversation with a white male co-worker who couldn't understand why it wasn't wise that all six supervisors/managers in our department are middle-aged White women, especially when the worker bees in the department come from all racial and ethnic groups, and many of these workers are male. I once told him that his dollars go further than mine as a Black woman, to which he responded "I dunno 'bout that." Here are some of my TRUE, personal experiences and observations: I was reprimanded by my supervisors for taking two hours every other Friday to walk down the hall to donate platelets, but this male co-worker of mine was free to roam about the entire building with impunity and chat with other employees for a couple of years until one day when no one could seem to find him anywhere for a good two hours...I frequented a well-known drug store in my neighborhood (which is a fairly equal mix of Black, White, etc) until I went to the same store located in my brother's neighborhood (predominately lower-income Black residents) and found prices to be, on average, 30% higher than in my neighborhood...In an affluent area where most of the residents are White, the prices at a well-known pet store are cheaper than the same store in our area where there are considerably more Black customers...Vandals had deface the outer fence that was built along the common area of the subdivision I live in. My husband and I were out attempting to clean the fence, and a White male slowed down, looked at us, and drove off. A few moments later, a police car drove up because he had gotten a "report that someone was vandalizing the fence".(what do you think that passer-by would have done/assumed had he seen a White couple out there cleaning the fence?)...I could rattle on about my own experiences even more, but you all get my point. The truth is, White privilege does in fact exist. I say it not out of bitterness and anger. But just because some Whites can't see it (my co-worker, for example), doesn't mean it isn't still there.
There are forms of privilege in society that take on many different forms. I'm not going to suggest that there is or is not a form of privilege that 'white' people are afforded, but it is something to which I cannot relate. If someone actually believes that a person is 'privileged' because a bandaid resembles their skin tone closer than someone else's, or hair products are more readily available for their type of hair, well that seems a bit silly to me. If that is criteria for a privilege we, as a society, have completely lost focus of some definition of the word. As a white female, I will not receive the same privilege as a black female when it comes to certain situations, i.e.; college grants or other appropriations set aside for only people of color. Privileges are granted to people for many different reasons, but if this article suggests what society is now considering privilege, perhaps there should be recognition for 'carnivore privileged' (for vegetarians when vegetarian items are not readily available in restaurants), and 'homosexual privilege' and 'Christian privilege', etc. It's offensive to be segregated because of our skin color, and it's something I've never done to another person. People have become too familiar with being apologetic for what they are, whether it's their religion, race, gender, political affiliation, financial standing, or being proud of their heritage, i.e. American…I still believe that, regardless of any of these factors, if you are a decent, hard working person who is a good steward to those around you, you should never feel pressured into apologizing for your background or personal choices.
did you read the article properly? she said the "perks" were finding bandaids that matched her skin tone & hair products for her hair texture and it's ppl like you (white) who think that talking about white privilege is a bad thing. no it's not and you don't have to feel guilty for your skin. white "privilege" isn't something trivial or something you can choose to have privilege for. gay people don't come out to strangers do they? being a vegetarian is a choice and they choose to go the extra mile to buy their products. but skin colour is something painted and defined by you at all times. black people cannot turn their skin colour off and many wish they could. like when they're out at night hanging with their friends and all of a sudden cops come out and mistake them for a gang. this is one of the reasons why we bring up race because it is still a issue today. we also talk about white people and how lucky they are because of the system. if you're a decent hardworking person you'll definitely succeed no matter what colour you are. but it doesn't take a genius to know that poc still go through way more hardships than white people do. bill o reilly interviewing that black Ph.D professor and joking that "he looks like a cocaine dealer" is just another example of how it doesn't matter how successful a black person is, they're still defined by their skin colour :(
PS: don't apologize for being white! white allies are actually pretty cool bcuz white folks listen more from their own instead of an "angry black woman" haha x -i'm 17 btw too lazy to capitalize
No apology necessary
People aren't asking you to apologize for your identity or background. If you feel bad when you hear about privilege and about the injustice and inequality that different minority groups experience, I think that is natural. (Who wants large groups of people to be mistreated?)
However, no one is asking you to feel bad about yourself - they're just asking you to see that there is a problem, so that you are more aware, and can maybe even help change the state of affairs. This isn't to say that you are personally causing the problem, it is just to say that if you are a member of the majority group, you have a good deal of power to enact change and to be part of the solution.
I don't think people are trying to say you aren't a good, hard-working person, or that you don't deserve what you have in life (though it can feel that way, when privilege is discussed). It is pointing out that many other good, hard-working, decent people are not afforded the same opportunities because of being a part of a minority group.
Consider your example of the 'privilege' of being considered for a grant, presumably because of affirmative action laws. Well, generally speaking, the average white American already has a leg up because their families are less likely to come from a position of poverty, and their values are more likely to be affirmed as the "correct" values to have. These affirmative action laws are meant to help equalize the playing field. They're a way for disadvantaged communities to provide an inheritance to other members of their community - an inheritance that may not have been possible for the receiving individual's family to accumulate (unlike their average white counterpart) due to a legacy of being discriminated against.
People aren't asking you to apologize or be ashamed for who you are. Honestly. It is really more about trying to see the ways that our fellow citizens are not being treated as well - so that we can bring them to the table and allow them to fully join the community as equally valued, advantaged, and represented members of society.
white privilege
the only thing that I would like about white privilege is that white folks don't realize is that we wear our skin color like it's camouflage. It doesn't sound like much until we understand all of the things that we take for granted.
The Language of Victimization and Denial
Many good discussions herein. Racism in its subtle forms should be erased. But the dialogue around "white privilege" is toxic. It's so ironic that it accuses whites of feeling some universality of position, yet is applied universally to whites. It takes many logical twists and turns to justify its position. It goes far beyond the simple points of band aids and panty hose, to illustrate the subtleties that should be changed. Yes, white people created this mess long ago. We are all now stuck with it. But the dialogue unfortunately isn't about getting along. It's been monopolized by a group from the far left who do not seek equality, but power. It's highly politically charged. The implication of the zero-sum system creates the image of debt, instead of the opportunity to create for one's self. The psychological paradigm of victimhood is a powerful weapon, using the status of victimhood to gain power, and to disavow responsibility. The rhetoric goes beyond equality though. It screams of wanting psychological, emotional recognition. At it's core, it is a psychological cry, and carries many of the indicia of such. The extraction of guilt from the "privileged" is one form of emotional currency. The rhetoric degrades those who achieve personally. It's disheartening, because it offends every single person who improves their circumstances. It's maddening, because no one can achieve that feeling except within themselves, yet it's sought through emotional extortion.
Offended White Male
White privilege seems to imply that as an individual I am guilty for injustices I did not cause or choose to benefit from. As a person who supports Affirmative Action and socialist, liberal economic policies I find this rhetoric defamatory, insulting and highly offensive. I am fully aware of the need to compensate for the generational effects of institutional racism and sexism, so please explain why is my guilt or innocence, and dignity as a human being at the discretion of someone else instead of the content my own deeds and actions? I absolutely refuse to be cast as an insoluble villain for the career gains of a politician.
You DO benefit from white
You DO benefit from white privilege automatically whether you mean to or not. Many of the achievements you have in life can be partially attributed to being a white male in America. When you go to a job interview, you most likely don't have to overcome cultural differences with the person you are interviewing with, giving you a leg up no matter what. White privilege exists because we refuse to acknowledge the inherent biases and racism that still exists in this country. Go watch "What Would You Do?", a show that brings to light many of these privileges. People of color are deemed by the public as "suspicious" when people see them doing something out of the ordinary, like supposedly stealing a bike. However, when they switched the perpetrator for a white male, many did not see him as stealing the bike. They assumed it was his. Those little things tell me that if biases can exist in random daily places, I know it exists in the workplace, schools, etc. People of color have to overcome being part of an environment that is not built from their cultural background all the time. They are the ones that have to assimilate. It's exhausting and unfair to play a role all the time. I'm sure you have never had to change the way you talk and act because your workplace makes you feel uncomfortable to be yourself.
what if....
When you go to a job interview, you most likely don't have to overcome cultural differences with the person you are interviewing with, giving you a leg up no matter what <<< what if the person interviewing yoyu..is the same race as you? People of color are deemed by the public as "suspicious<< if you act like your doing something to create that.. it doesnt matter you're race.. you could have green hair and tatoos.. and ppl may be "suspicious".
and i think depending on where we work we all change our habits.. the way you are at work is not the same way as when you're at home.. this white privilege seems to be used more as an excuse. sure some ppl might look at others races differently.. but that goes for anyone.. white ppl get jugded by black ppl as well.. and if you think you think this way.. then you will doesnt matter the color of your skin.
Offended White Male
This rhetoric isn't personal. The fact that you feel "insulted, offended and defamed" actually proves the article's point. Of all the white privilege on the planet, yours comes second only to that of RICH, white males. This isn't even about a "need to compensate" as much as it is about a need to ACKNOWLEDGE that it is so! We can't change what we don't acknowledge ...

It is about awareness
I grew up in a small, all white, town in the Midwest. The idea of while privilege never occurred to me until I went to college and had an Asian roommate. Suddenly I learned about being followed while shopping and the difficulty of finding make up if your complexion was different. This isn't about blame or guilt. It is about opening eyes and understanding that there is this underlying aspect of our society. Change cannot occur unless we have these discussions even if they are difficult.
Take it into consideration instead of being offended
The point is that even though it isn't your fault nor do you ask for it, it's still there, and that's something that the white community have to work towards addressing as a whole. The author isn't saying you're a bad person or villainize you in any way, but there are Caucasians that refuse to even acknowledge that white privilege even exist. The whole point is most of the time, it's unbeknownst to you, but this is what this is.
Celebrating Community Assets
Two thoughts ---
1.) I think the concepts of under-privilege and over-privilege are based on a very limiting idea of scarcity. But the good news is that the best things the world has to offer are not a "zero sum equation." If one person enjoys a healthy community, beautiful landscapes and parks, the arts, books, good education, sports, technology ... that enjoyment does not take away from the ability of others to enjoy the same things.
2.) Yes, it's important to recognize the barriers and obstacles that face us and divide communities. But not in a way that increases divisions. The most important focus should be on nurturing, sharing and building the strengths of all the families/youth/individuals in the whole community.
Privilege (not just white)
White privilege is an unfortunate part of American society. To be born white instead of another color means one's going to experience a less troubled life than someone who is born in the minority. Our society still has a white majority, while non-white groups (African-American, Asian, Latino and American Indian together, plus the Pacific Islander race in US Census race category boxes) continue to feel excluded or restricted in what they can accomplish as individuals. It's still a fact in America, white police officers will treat a black person differently than a white person in a routine stop. The Michael Brown incident and Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson's walk away from facing charges reminds us again white privilege is in effect.
There are other kinds of privilege. I'm aware of male privilege, although I'm male, but I'm keenly aware of sexism is a problem alike racism. Women experience limitations and different treatment in society than males. On average, women are paid less (77 cents to a dollar) than a man makes doing the same work. I find this unfair and discriminatory, despite we have laws protecting female employees from sex discrimination practices.
And we have one percent privilege (the very rich), first world privilege (if you're born and live in the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia/NZ and Japan) and middle class privilege (not earning less than average annual income per person or household). Social/income class is another issue Americans tend to not want to face, because we believe we're the "Land of opportunity" for all. Regardless of what color, race, ethnicity or culture you are or originated from, the biggest indicator of privilege is socioeconomic in financial wealth.
Honestly, I want all forms of prejudice and discrimination to go away, but not a realistic goal at least in my lifetime. White privilege, male privilege and other privileges based on one's age, disability, sexual orientation and religion...prevents us from achieving full equality in our society and our lives. We have to realize people aren't going to be treated equally, but we need to change that to ensure all people have to be treated fairly. To have some kind of privilege and not be aware of it may make us ignore or avoid the notion of privilege, and we shouldn't: We must put an end to systematic racism and status discrimination. +
Privilege (not just white)
Although I do not disagree with what you have said, I would like to add something to your view on sexism. It is not just that males doing the same work as females are paid more than their female countarparts, it is also about the opportunities for females to do a higher level of work (ie promoted) are in many cases limited, unless of course there is some sort of affirmative action involved, in which case, many times women often receive an unmerited benefit.
The Use of "We"
This excerpt explains racism and white privilege is usefully direct terms but then goes on to describe "white privilege" from the perspective of "we", indicating that the writer is white and is writing for white readers. I think the headline should make clear from the outset that this article is from a personal viewpoint of a white writer and that the writing should be adapted to be more inclusive of readers who are not white. While we readers might expect the default race of a writer to be white in other magazines, I would expect a different approach in Teaching Tolerance.
i totally agree
I agree with most of the view points on this subject. Ive even wept reading some of of these life experiences.
Experiences that some of you witnessed first hand, because they really hit home and touched my heart.
Now, i agree with this mostly because, being a black man, the majority of what we see on t.v. or movies is caucasion people.
When i apply for a job or credit im always looked at differently from my caucasion peers, its a known fact that blacks are placed in an entire different tax bracket than whites. To this day if a white person walks in a store bare foot, or no shirt or sagging anything is rarely said, but lord forbid if a black kid did the exact same thing, when the sign clearly says no shoes no shirt no service. Thats why i can fully understand first hand, (and by the way i totally agree with the sign in the store, lol).
Now you do have to ask yourself though, why is it that if everything originated from africa, and the true jews are said to be black, all the lighter skin ones is all we see or hear about? In every culture you have your light skinned and dark skinned people. Almost every cultuture depicts lighter skined people on t.v. more so as if the darker skined people are irrelevant or non existant. The lighter skined people hold the most dignified or elite positions around the world more so than the darker skinned people. So yes i can see the privilages that many get compared to the few.
There people of color in almost if not every culture yet you only are shown
by the media the lighter skinned people with the exception of a few.
As i see it we all live in a society where a diverse culture is seperated by wealth and color, and no one race is truly who they claim to be, and until we learn to respect our differences is when and only when we will learn to know how to love one another as the bible tells us to, as brothers and sisters and dispel ourselves from the evil hatred of this world. God does not see color.
There's no point in racism. There's not point at all.
What is the point?
I agree that white privilege does exist. It's scary when a person of color is shot for simply doing nothing and a white person is sheltered from such a thing.
I'm an underprivileged white girl from a lower class neighborhood. Hardly lived around other white people until I was about 14. Every once in awhile growing up I would be corrected that I was white by brown and black people, and reminded that I was white trash by rich, white elitists.
My issues with this are small compared to people of color who are clearly in danger. They are constantly harassed and even killed.
What can we do to stop this?
What is the point?
Because you were a small percentage of whites who have to be in the trenches with us I feel you understand. We as people of color experience this in our work place, neighborhoods and communities we forget the few who have to go through the same things but maybe not quite the same your still white. I can remember working with a white man who came in put his feet on the desk talked sports, wore a ankle bracelet for drunk driving and promoted a few months later to management @ a major corporation . Now whose privileged here. We need to treat people as we were all the same color starting by acknowledging were all in this together. Keep the dialog open so that it doesn't get swept under the rug for another 100 years for the next generation to have to struggle with or until some one else dies. I believe our younger generations may try harder to change things for the better they don't see color as we do. GOD made his rainbow for his glory not ours.
Is it ok to throw around generalizations about "white" people and their alleged privileges? It is not. Racism itself is the problem. The same error in thinking applied to any race is the whole problem. Stop turning the flawed thinking on different races and change the thoughts themselves. Look at people for who they are, not their race. Enough racism.
The fact of the matter is,
The fact of the matter is, every white person has white privilege. It is the WHOLE race. That doesn't mean that every white person has a perfect life, but they all have the privileges listed over black people, end of story.
end of story...
noun: racism
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
•prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
so that would make white privilege... racist.. and its true.. if a white person..was to come up with lets say.. black privilge.. then it would be called racist.. it seems this white privilege does nothing to help anything.. in fact it just causes more divide.
You're correct, but....
You are absolutely right. If everyone simultaneously did that, racial inequality would disappear... at least within a couple generations. There would still be economic and educational issues that would be linked to race, but people like the above woman would be on equal footing with people of color.
But that assumption is the problem. Everyone is not going to simultaneously do that, because not everyone even realizes it's a problem. Or maybe they don't think it's a problem, after all, there ARE still racists out there. Either way, until there are no more racists in power and systemic inequality of wiped out (by which I mean large populations of people of color who lack adequate schools and work, for example), telling white people about their privilege will be necessary in order for them to also stop seeing color and fight for equality for all.
The Myth of Racism
Anthropology and medical science have an agreement in studying the one and only Human Race. Racism will continue to be expressed as long as there is an insistence on the myth of there being "white" and "colored" people on this planet.
I could see it if one of us had two noses or three eyes if not a type of blood that is only found in one group of Human Beings. But the fact that anthropologist continue to study the history of the Human Race and Doctors study the medical treatment of all Humans allows me to keep faith that sooner or later the basic fact of there only being one "race" of Humans on this planet will be openly discussed and accepted.
Individuals insisting on discussing the difference of people on the basis of the color of their skin should've been educated to know better by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the millions of American citizens of the 20th Century.
The recent reports by the news media on how "white people think about about being white"only shows how the news media are very slow learners!
Trying to figure this out
Mostly because of the John Stewart Bill O'Reilly thing from last night -- what is the difference between "white privilege" and "racism"?
Isn't saying something like
"white people don't fear being pulled over by police because they tend to not get shot when that happens"
the same as saying
"black people are discriminated against when they get pulled over and are more likely to be assumed up to no good? (i.e. racism) "
What I am really asking is instead of saying "white privilege is a thing exists" shouldn't we be saying "racism is a real problem and it still exists?"
About being pulled over
Just a thought: Police sometime operate on statistics and what they have witnessed. So, what is the proportion of crimes being committed by white compared to black? I'm sure, by human instinct, they react on this. So, I think it is best to look at statistics and human experience. I believe we should look at the problem as a whole not just parts of it.
As far as "racism is a real problem and it still exists".............Racism will always exist in one form or another. I do believe we need to keep moving ahead in a positive way but we should not over emphasize what does not exist.
To become familiar with what I'm trying to say, go to: http://www.tolerance.org/article/racism-and-white-privilege
Lastly: We need to stop nik-picking and approach problems with grounded, thought-out, data supported answers. Not pie-in-the-sky, Utopian, illogical ideals.
Are you kidding ?
69.3% of crimes are committed by WHITE people. While only 28.1% is committed by black people.
Talk about illogical. Here you are telling this author to do the very thing you failed to do.
White people commit TWICE as much rape, aggravated assault, larceny, car theft, vandalism, fraud, drug abuse violations and the list goes on and on and on! (Fbi.gov)
Human instinct? Statistics? Go look in the mirror because this article was written for people with your illogical, misinformed thinking.
Are you kidding?
What percent of the population is white? Roughly 65-70%. 12% black and 18-20% other. 12% commit 30% of the crime. But what percent of black people are institutionalized. Statistics are staggering how much time selling drugs get as compared to any of the things you mentioned. 10/20/life for drugs. From slavery to institutional slavery.
Friend to Enemy
The concept of "White Privilege" has to be the most divisive concept in the fight for equal rights. It effectively changes us from a white allies to a common and ever present enemy.
It eliminates any chance of white redemption. Seeking to redeem oneself from the actions of our ancestors becomes impossible. Simply existing makes us complicit with the crimes as we are enjoying the spoils of race warfare.
"You don't understand the concept of white privilege," you might say. Your defensive reaction proves your racism.
All I can know or understand is what I see, read and experience. And I have only seen the concept of white privilege used to bully and dismiss white opinions, no matter how grounded in reason they are. I have seen white victims slandered ruthlessly by opportunistic racial vitriol. Issues that didn't involve race are suddenly hijacked and turned into "who has it worse" pissing contests.
Aggressive social justice warriors have told me to my face in front of a room of silent people that I am a spoiled, rich little white christian boy whose opinion means nothing because I have no idea what its like to be oppressed.
They judged me because I was white. They didn't realize I was a disabled, gay atheist who allied himself with black people and has actively participated in equal rights events.
But no, its "I don't like your opinion, so I'm going to throw it away using the concept of white privilege."
I could tell you about all the straight, christian, ableist privilege you have (if you are any of those). I could go further back and show how your religion completely destroyed my people, the Robogdii, their kingdom, and commit cultural and historical genocide, removing all sources of information, and burning any books that illuminate our origins as a people.
But I won't because I don't want to "other" you from my cause. I fear I would take away a possible supporter. So why do black people use white privilege to shake a stick at people who would defend them? It may be that it feels good to chew people out when you have a problem you cant solve on your own. But you can't win this without getting support. I know I can't protect gay people without yours.
Open Your Eyes
"Aggressive social justice warriors have told me to my face in front of a room of silent people that I am a spoiled, rich little white christian boy whose opinion means nothing because I have no idea what its like to be oppressed.
They judged me because I was white. They didn't realize I was a disabled, gay atheist who allied himself with black people and has actively participated in equal rights events."
Hello, that is white privilege right there. Without even knowing you, you were cast in the light of being spoiled, rich and free from the burden of understanding oppression. You didn't even realize it, and it only offended you because you are disabled, gay and atheist. Those don't come off as easily as skin color. That's what white privilege is. It doesn't make you an enemy, it's something you need to be able to see though. How much more effective could you be in the fight against racial discrimination if you could understand that. Also, I find it difficult to fathom that you truly fight for racial equality when you can make statements like, "So why do black people use white privilege to shake a stick at people who would defend them? It may be that it feels good to chew people out when you have a problem you cant solve on your own," a statement that undermines everything you do. Now it sounds like you feel you're doing black people a favor.
I'm sure black people could
I'm sure black people could use many more white, disabled, gay atheists on their side.
Let me add some more examples:
Let me add some more examples:
– When you search Google images "baby", you will find mostly white babies. If you want to find only black babies, you have to search "black baby". Google "mother" "grandma" and the same thing occurs. This is true for
– When I search for stock images of people, I never see tags like "white (race)" or "white babies". In addition, white people aren't tagged under "ethnicity", even though white people have an ethnicity.
– Your race is not seen as a "minority".
– Your race (and a few other races) is better depicted. Find a UNICEF poster depicting a WHITE child facing issues.
– Your occupation wont stereotype your entire race. People ask "why are most basketball players black?" but never ask "why are most golf players white?" No one would pay attention if cab drivers were white and not Indian.
– If you're a doctor, people assume your medical education is adequate. No one dismisses you because they assume medical education in other countries is inferior.
– You can dress how you please without being labeled a "gangsta".
That's silly
What you are describing is simply reflective of the fact that Whites are the majority in this country, and so you naturally expect to find more images of White babies, more Whites on televsion, movies, what have you. There is nothing egregious about it. And it is ridiculous to use as a serious cause for grievance. And part of the way people perceive a certian group has a lot to do with the image they convey, I'm sorry. When you have a youth culture which glorifies being a thug or gangsta (not everyone of course but too many),trying to get people to view you in a postive or neutral light will likely be an uphill climb. Both sides need to be willing to make changes. That is only fair.
Thank you for the other
Thank you for the other examples. I had never thought about the race of the people in images I search on google... I also tried "doctor" and "teacher."
"Privilege" is natural
Of course there is privilege. If you are a Han Chinese in China, you have "Han Chinese" privilege. In any country the dominant cultural/ethnic group always has privilege, otherwise it would not be dominant by definition.
If you somehow manage to bring white people down, someone else will take their place and will assert their privilege. Ultimately it is always one group versus another and the way these things always fall is along ethnic/racial/religious lines. It's not about who's smarter or better, it's about "your people" versus "the others".
"Privilege" is natural
What you are saying is all fine and dandy if you are not touting his idea of equality. One cannot have one's cake and eat it too. If their is true equality, there is no domination. Domination is usully perpetuated systematically, as this helps to maintain domination. You have absolutely no prove that if white people are 'brought down, someone else will take their place'. In a TRUE democracy, there will be diversity and a system that will not be based solely upon color.
We (United States of America) are not a democracy at all. We're a federal republic. 'True democracy' has never existed, not even the greek inventors of 'democracy' had a democracy! Only free, land-owning males above the age of 18 could vote and even then it was only the first 6000 into the building! We have limits on who can and cannot vote, we have representatives, we have a president, we have senators, we have a constitution. All of those things are not depicting of a democracy, but of a republic. We then modify a few republican ideals and presto! A federal republic is born.
Seriously, read the federalist papers.

MARIETTA - A fixture the local community since the 1950s, the Marietta Family YMCA kicked off its 60th year with an open house event Sunday that highlighted some of the Y's programs and services.
"We had a steady crowd all day, including 15 people who signed up for new memberships," said YMCA Executive Director Suzy Zumwalde.
One of those new members is Major Karen Garrett from the Salvation Army on Front Street.

"I just joined (Sunday)," she said. "I've been saying I would join the Y for a while now, but I've been so busy I just kept putting it off. When I heard about this open house I finally decided to come down and join."
Garrett hopes to get in some exercise and swimming before or after work every day. She admits sometimes becoming too absorbed with her work.
"I've been to YMCAs in different cities, but some didn't have pools, and I really like to swim," she said. "I think this Y membership will inspire me to get away from work once in a while."
Zumwalde said the local Y has a total of about 2,000 members, and 57 new membership applications have already been received since Jan. 1.
She said new members typically pay a $40-$60 fee to join, depending on the type of membership. But that fee was waived for anyone who joined during Sunday's open house event, and through Jan. 13 the joiner fee is only $5.
"Hopefully this will also make it easier for people who want to make lifestyle changes for their New Year's resolutions," Zumwalde said.
This year the YMCA is adding some new programs while expanding on others.
Youth sports coordinator Matt Barton said a Saturday youth dodgeball league is among the newer offerings. Registration and fees for the month-long program, which includes students from kindergarten through sixth grade, are due by Jan. 20.
"We're taking the official dodgeball rules and modifying them a bit, according to each age group," Barton said. "We just want to make it fun and keep them interested in the game."
Zumwalde said an adult dodgeball tournament is also new on the YMCA programs list this year. Registration and fee for the tourney are due by Jan. 21.
Another new Y program is called The Biggest Winner, an eight-week wellness education program for the entire family.
"This program starts Jan. 13 and is modeled on the popular 'Biggest Loser' television program," Zumwalde said. "But this is not just for people to lose weight, it's an educational and fitness program to really encourage making an entire lifestyle change."
She hopes the "Biggest Winner" will become a year-round program, but that will depend on how much interest it generates from the public.
YMCA program director Charlie Wilson said another new wrinkle at the Y is a regular lifeguard certification course.
He said lifeguard certification has been offered sporadically in the past, but the new program will be conducted on a monthly basis.
"A lot of swimming pools in this area have to hire lifeguards for their facilities," Wilson said. "This two-week course will allow people to become certified. But anyone taking the course will have to pre-register and pass an orientation test before they can get in."
Another new pool-related program is aqua-Zumba.
"An instructor stands on the pool deck leading various Zumba moves while the class repeats those moves in the water," Wilson said. "It's easier on the joints, especially for people with arthritis."
Zumwalde said the Y will continue to offer its traditional exercise and fitness programs, as well as child daycare services throughout the year.
"And visitors will also notice we've done a lot of painting and sprucing up the place to give it a brighter look," she added. "We've also installed energy-efficient lighting throughout the facility."

Ready set climb
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
My brother went from downhill skiing to snowboarding....so i followed...then he went from snowboarding to tele skiing so naturally i went from boarding to tele skiing too. He helped me find some beginner boots...my T2s...and i havent been able to strap on a board ever since. I bit the bill and bought these boots (at the time it seemed like a lot of money for a new sport....but glad i did). I am 6.5-7 in shoes and i bought size 24/ also custom molded my liners. Ive bought other Scarpa tele boots but felt they were almost too stiff and hard core so ive returned them all and stuck with my T2s. I love the touring mode, makes it easy for wandering around if im at the lodge or when actually touring....which these are my only tele boots. For me there is no other boot i need, at least for right now. I have only been tele skiing for 4 years now, but i find these to be very comfortable for skiing as well as climbing. I have had a few issues with the buckles slipping at times but nothing major. Scarpa makes a durable, comfortable lasting boot so there is no need for me to spend more money on other boots....but....a girl can never have too many skis!
Great boot for beginner to intermediate
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This was the first tele boot I bought when I started telemarking. I wear a 24.5 in alpine boots (7.5 shoe) so went ahead and bought these in the 24.5 as well. Ski boots are typically manufactured so that the .0 and .5 shell sizes are actually the same - super expensive to produce shell sizes that actually vary by the half size... However, Scarpa will pair the lower .5 size with the next whole size. For example, the 23.5 and 24.0 are the same size, where most companies pair 24.0 and 24.5. So... My boots felt great when I first bought them, but they packed out quickly and I soon had way too much room in there. Also, I realized that I would prefer a stiffer boot.
That said, this is a great boot if you are just getting into the tele world. I would definitely recommend trying the half size down! Definitely keep in mind that these will pack out with wear - and like most ski boots, it is easier to make them bigger than it is to make them smaller. Talk to your local boot fitter about that one!
Great Boots
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love these boots, I have a somewhat wider foot and originally tried the T1s, while very responsive were too serious for my skiing style. The walk mode on these is amazing and once you get all the plastic trained to sit where it needs to they are awesome to put on and off. The break in period is uncomfortable, but not too long, and even after just a couple of days of riding, they were very comfortable by the end of the ski day. Not super cush on the inside (no fancy fur or anything) but warm up pretty fast. I got superfeet insoles for these and they could not be more comfortable, light and responsive. I an avid skier and average about 50-50 resort and backcountry riding and have found these to be awesome at both.

Are these boots true to size? I have a pair of garmont excursions in mondo size 23.5. I had read somewhere that scarpa run 1/2 size small.

Bill Hall">
SWANSEA — The town signed an agreement with the owners of land formerly used by the Montaup Power that will eventually put the seven properties under town control. Town Administrator James Kern noted that there is still some final work on boundary lines before the closing.
Negotiations have been ongoing since the Town Meeting allocated $200,000 for the seven properties that include approximately 175 acres. The acreage includes the iconic Swansea Dam as well as two other dams, 105 acres of open space abutting the town owned land behind Town Hall, as well as 8.5 acres behind the Salvation Army off Sears Road and three other smaller properties.
Town Administrator James Kern announced that the memorandum of understanding includes no changes to the 105 acres purchased with $100,000 of Community Preservation Act money.
Originally, it appeared that the NRG Energy, Inc. owners of the land, did not want any construction on any of the properties. The town was looking to modify that restriction and reached an agreement that would allow minor work such as a slab for gazebo or some boat launch at each of the three dams, Swansea Dam, Milford Dam behind Target and the dam off G.A.R. Highway near the little league field complex.
There was no restriction on the 8.5 acres behind the Salvation Army, leaving that open to a variety of options on Sears Road.
Two other properties at Lewin Pond Island and Maiden Lane and a small piece off Hortonville Road would also have no construction.
Town counsel Arthur Frank noted that part of the reasons why the negotiations went slowly was that the land descriptions were 80 years old and needed more than the usual study.
"We agreed that it would not be likely to have a closing before December 31," said Atty. Frank, noting that it will happen during the beginning of next year.

Thing is, in various communities I'm in, various people had already pieced together the exact plot and several plot points from the trailers... as early as December. For all the insistence upon secrecy, Abrams didnt do a very good job. I really was hoping that there would be more disinformation than there was.
