In his 14 February 2023 commentary, Paul Craig Roberts asks "Where Is 'White Privilege?' I Can't Find It." Here are excerpts from his astute commentary:

“People don’t realize how hard it is to speak the truth to people who don’t realize they are living a lie.” — Edward Snowden

February is the month we celebrate Black Heritage Month. Try celebrating White Heritage.... White heritage has been characterized as racism, and racism is something to be ashamed of, not celebrated....

After years of indoctrination by Critical Race Theory many white Americans accept that they are the guilty descendants of slave traders. The truth is that the black slave trade originated in black Africa in slave wars between black peoples. Blacks enslaved blacks. The British colonists were merely customers who needed a labor force. The blacks brought to the colonies were enslaved prior to their arrival.

The White Slave Trade is far older, was far more extensive, and was contemporaneous with the black slave trade and lasted longer. But we don’t hear arguments about white people being held back from being placed in bondage....

The notion of white privilege is one of the most absurd fantasies in human history. Do the people making the claim that bondage has permanently injured black American descendants of slavery–but refuse to make the same argument for white descendants of slavery–realize that they are saying that blacks are weaker and less resilient than white people?...

The privileges that blacks enjoy are a total violation of the US Constitution, the 14th Amendment, and the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

The 1964 Civil Rights Act explicitly forbids in statutory language racial quotas and preferences....

Equality under the law has been replaced by equality of result and the resurrection of privilege in order to achieve it. This means also the loss of freedom, because equality of result requires coercion....

 

Jesse Lee Peterson is a TV talk show host, activist, author, pastor and counselor, and founder of BOND (Brotherhood Organization of A New Destiny).dedicated to "Rebuilding the Family by Rebuilding the Man."

In a short video discussion, Jesse Lee Peterson has an amazing exchange with Israeli-born Yaron Brook, chairman of the Ayn Rand Institute in California. Brook insists that Israel must remain majority Jewish, but rejects the notion that America should remain majority White. Peterson - incidentally, a Black man - pops Brook's balloon of hypocrisy.
