My buddy owns a drum store. He took a van, loaded it with djembes and drove to Occupy Portland where he proceeded to sell every single one for full price (usual discount is 40-50% in store).
I don't want to work I want to bang on the drum all day I don't want to play I just want to bang on the drum all day It if I could this, it would be my privilege.
Damn you guys, it's spring, we're having the best Blazer season in years and you guys are busy snarking at each other.
Sly, yes spring is in the air, but when you're not getting any, imagine how much more painful it is during this time of year?
You posted a link that was "authored" by a character from Lemony Snickets. LMAO!!!!! Violet Baudelaire is a fictional character. Idiots run America these days.
I still think it's like an oxymoron for anyone who got into an Ivy League school like Princeton to complain about someone else's privilege.
Sourcing a fictional character as your "gotcha" moment is one of the most stupid things I've seen in the OT section, though. hoojacks just went to a different level of posting dumb stuff as a GOTCHA. I want to know what Theo Huxtable has to say about this topic. Hell, maybe even George Jefferson and Archie Bunker in another debate!
Looks like a screen name. You know, like Denny Crane and PapaG. Hoojacks has a point to a point. But this is rather silly.
Was listening to Dan Le Betard at work today and he was talking about getting brown people to listen to his show. Walked by my Mexican friend and I mumbled something about brown people. I said it wasn't me, it was Dan and he is Cuban. I asked my buddy what part of Mexico that Cuba is in (as a joke) and he told me not to say that around Mexicans because they hate Cubans. I was going to tell him to check his privilege but I can't because....well you know, I am white. I would like a cheat sheet that clearly ranks privilege so I know just how much better I have it than my friends. My favorite work buddy is hispanic and short. I mean short enough to hit his head on a car door mirror. That has to be low privilege on the scale. I am thinking like a three, three point five.
Ok, so quick list 1-10 1. Good looking rich young white guy with great clothes 2. Same but crappy clothes 3. Ok looking rich young white guy with great clothes 4 . Same but crappy clothes..... Aww fuck, I can't keep going because I won't get to me for hours.
Well no shit it's a screen name, Denny. I'm pointing out how stupid it is to post the thoughts of another anonymous internet poster as some sort of GOTCHA!
What the fuck are you talking about? I posted that article with no analysis attached. How is that a GOTCHA? Stop projecting your cable news mindset onto my posts. I was simply sharing someone's write up on the topic so you people could have the slightest clue about what the fuck the phrase you're bitching about even means.
The phrase means nothing. Accept that we do indeed have white privilege. It is our privilege to ignore the so called phrase. I think the standard reply should be "go fuck yourself" PS.... the cable mindset you speak of isn't much different than a bunch of ivy league druggies drinking the "privilege" kool-aid
