Mr. D. Goes to Washington: There Is No White Privilege
In the comments of last month's Mr. D. Goes, someone asserted that there is no White privilege. There is only wealth privilege (I just made up that term right now). What the person clearly doesn't understand (and I blame our education system) is how Blacks have been systemically kept from creating wealth at every turn. It's outrageous!!!
This one's hard to enjoy, but at least I hope it provides some enlightenment. Thanks again you beautiful, wonderful people! #sincerely

I made the mistake of watching this on YouTube. Yikes! I keep forgetting about what a toxic cesspit the YouTube commentariat is until I scroll through comments on videos like this one. Racist myths are like zombies you just can't kill. I wanted to comment here to give support and to say this is the best explanation I have heard to describe the way that wealth moves through generations and grows over time. They don't call it "old money" for nothing. ;-) Keep up the good work and thank you.
Wild and crazy guess here: Mr. Anonymous wasn't born, raised, educated in Watts or Harlem or the Alabama slums condemned by the U.N. rapporteur for extreme poverty…? His "bootstrap" dogma is saturated with the Fundamental Attribution Error, in which he assigns any and all outcomes in life to "dispositional" rather than "situational" attributes among people.
So... From this I gather that you basically agree with the comment that started this, but for some reason are under the impression that you don't.
