" White privilege " is a hot issue only among the black bourgeoisie- people who are already privileged and quite comfortable themselves. But a Culture of Narcissism makes ALL " successful " Americans insecure and often neurotic for MORE, more applause, more money, more intoxicating SUCCESS in American Consumer Heaven.
I recommend they read Samuel Johnson's " The Vanity of Human Wishes ". And have a kind thought for all of us obscure " losers " - like those annoying " socialists " out there worried about more substantial issues.
I read that Bernie Sanders- a democratic socialist or a " socialist " Democrat- is fairly popular in the Hollywood world as a presidential candidate. In general , democratic socialists shun " identity politics ", do not strive to be the darling of any particular race or ethnic group.
Even working class whites enjoy " white privilege " ? |
