(8,155 posts)The theory itself has been around for generations of scholars. Do you understand?
I mean, for fuck's sake. The responses in and around DU are just mindlessly imbecilic. Have you any formal education at all on the subject? Have you even bothered to seek out any understanding on what privilege means that didn't originate with a Google search?
For the love of God, this is why we can't have nice things. We are so far removed from contemporary conversation. We're still debating over the least controversial, most elementary concepts to an incredibly deep, complex issue of social and intellectual conflict. If you were in a class on race and conflict theory and tried to argue that white privilege is just hating white people or that it doesn't exist at all, you'd be laughed out of the classroom.
Yet you come into here and think you're pushing some really edgy stuff. Never mind how it contradicts the entire theoretical basis asserted by revolutionary and academic giants. It would be like mocking Newton and gravitation.
The absurdity of it all. It's utterly absurd.
