Minnesota mayor suffers meltdown in white privilege rant

Gateway Pundit has "unhinged mayor and embarrassing meltdown and crazed rant" as their wont. Gateway is the only place that I've seen this video. This is right up their alley. Almost didn't watch but I'm glad that I did because it's such fun. The mayor does only half the talking another woman takes issue and the mayor cannot handle anyone disagreeing.

She expects everyone present to accept her blather and self-condemnation but one woman is not having it. The thing is, the mayor accepted the outlines she heard of sex/race/class studies in college but she hasn't taken the courses so she's not equipped to defend her postulates, she simply insists in their verity. And soon as someone objects her impulse is smear them with the epithet of racism. The mayor is focused on race as most important, by definition that makes her racist. At the very least racially-minded. While the rest give it no thought and to the mayor that means they're racist. You rarely see such a perfect inversion of truth and facts.

And you can't talk to it either. You either accept it or f.u.

This is the sacrifice that's paid to college diversity quotas. I had an argument with a crackpot liberal friend about lowering academic standards to force colleges to accept more minorities by quotas. I asked him if standards are lowered such that doctors are then graduated with less academic accomplishment than we'd have otherwise, say, instead of reaching down to High Schools and work to prepare younger students before reaching college age, to achieve the same goals as quotas, would he be willing to see those doctors instead of med students properly prepared for the rigors? He said, "Yes." He's so full of S to the T.

And here we are. Minorities incapable of meeting the academic challenge so classes are developed in areas they can excel such as feminism and race.  That is, studying yourself. While traditional and more difficult grading and education are torn down.

Their answer is, "Why not?" That's what white people have done forever. All Western History, the maths and the sciences are all caucasian endeavors. They've burst into your white world, now accommodate them, not they accommodate you.

I thought about intersectionality before all this developed. I had one friend in particular who is deaf and black and gay and I thought, Jesus Christ, that's like three social setbacks overlapped. And they were serious setbacks in his case. He has a uniquely difficult life. His sign was second most unusual I've seen consisting of jive and elisions black patois. The other deaf told me that they don't understand a thing he says. Isaac is his name, and he told me that I'm the only one who gets him.

If this mayor wants to keep pressing her point she's going to have to read a few books or take a few college level courses in critical race theory and there she'll meet people so fierce they can keep an argument going for hours without getting frustrated and shutting it down in tears.

Care to see what your white privilege gets  you?  Just ask the internet. It's happy to tell you. I'll pick one.

An invisible package of unearned assets.

1) Positive relationship with police
2) Favored by school authorities
3) Attending segregated schools of affluence
4) Learning about my race in schools.
5) Finding children's books that overwhelmingly represent my race
6) I have the privilege of soaking in media biased toward my race
7) I have the privilege of escaping violent stereotyping associated with my race
8) I have the privilege of playing the colorblind card wiping the slate clean of centuries of racism
9) I have the privilege of being insulated from the daily toll of racism
10) I have the privilege of living ignorant of the dire state of racism today

There are advantages to be counted in being minority that have nothing to do with government and easier access to academia. But they're not included in white privilege lists.

And so much of this list is debatable.

After reading the list I'm forced to wonder, how is it the blacks and Mexicans around me manage integration so well. I see them around everyday apparently perfectly well adjusted living life as white people do, the same homes, the same cars, the same jobs, the same clothes. Were I not told by academics and their very many studies, I'd never know they harbor such deep resentments.

It's very bad of the mayor to call her co-administrators racists. What did she expect to gain from that? And the men around the table are either zombies or else they know by experience when best to just sit there and shut up. Notice they all take a passive posture.
