The people rioting are their own worst enemies. They can blame others all the want, but it's all on them. Anti-black racism hasn't been a significant factor in this country for decades. Sure there are anti-black racists here and there, but they have had little influence on the lack of progress made by blacks in general. Even with the preferential treatment that came along with decades of affirmative action, blacks in general haven't done the work to improve their situation. They have no one to blame at this point other than themselves.

The guy made a lot of excellent points and he broke away from the media narrative that's been shoved down our throats for the past several decades. Actually what he said makes a lot more sense than the BS propaganda the media pushes.
#WrongSkin - Troll of the year It's all about playing the victim card. Also included in this vlog is a story about the guy who created the Dilbert cartoon series.
The story gets even more bizarre. Here is the girl mentioned in the video Wild Bill posted. Not only was she in the NAACP, according to the article she is also president of Spokane's chapter!
White People Believe They Face Greater Hardships Than Others A couple of the Turks present a rather murky definition of White Privilege, which includes a number of subjective elements which cannot be quantified and so it's one of those fuzzy definitions which you can argue about, but which does nothing to prove whether the concept has any connection to observable reality. Among things that they count as White Privilege is having educated parents who spend time talking to you in an educated manner, thus giving you an advantage over those who have uneducated/ignorant parents. The implication is that white people are less likely to be ignorant and uneducated, which seems like a rather prejudicial generalization to make.
The biggest problem with this video is that the two Turks never once mention affirmative action programs. These programs exist in objective reality and it's also possible to find public records which document how many HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS have been spent on such programs, thereby giving the disadvantaged an advantage over their more educated and affluent counter-parts. And so while it's possible to make all sorts of subjective and unprovable assertions about why White Privilege exists, there is no doubt that affirmative action exists and that it is incredibly unlikely that affirmative action fails to provide more than enough support to compensate for White Privilege (which most likely doesn't exist in objective reality to begin with).
