White people...

MTV did a White Privileage 101 video that is 45 minutes long and contains nothing controversial per se. It still gets a huge negative backlash. I can understand being bored or not giving a shit, but to actively get pissed at this video? I think that's a sign you got some entitlement issues.

Edit: I always skip ahead the commercials/introduction shit in the beginning of these things...unfortunately people tend to only watch that part of these videos, which is the crap marketing part.

I watched up to the staged part where the two guys walked out of the house and shook hands with the video making guy. Like wow, just so spontaneous and unrehearsed, eh? hehe. But anyway, through the beginning I just kept hearing white - white - white - white - white but never saw a single white person. How rasis is that when not even one white peep in the vid?!?

Seriously MTV? haha . The guy who made that is an illegal immigrant Marxist. Completely unbiased view of "white privledge" right there.

MTV is still relevant?

For those that don't want to watch it:

The big thing most White people seem to agree with, is that it's easier to get into college if you are Black or Latino than if you are White (or non Pacific-Islander Asian). Scholarships are getting very hard to find, so White people assume that its because all the Blacks and Latinos are getting them.

But the reality is that the majority of merit-based scholarships go to white people disproportionately (barely). There is no real evidence that anyone in their right mind would be born black instead of White for access to college.

If you bring up this fact -- white people act like you just said something personally negative about them. Or are somehow "biased," and there must be some other information that confirms to their beliefs that tells the real story of how minority kids are taking all the scholarships.

One of the first thing that suprised me when I went to college, is none of the poor kids had scholarships (besides a few football players). It was always the kids that had 2 professional parent's setting everything up for him that didn't have pay for their damn college. Most the poor kids don't know how to do any of that shit and end up paying the government thousands in interest on their loan (6% of the bottom quintile finishes their bachelor degree).

20 years later you'll hear one of those creamy motherfuckers talking about how they need to start talking about scholarships with their kids -- and the cycle continues.

There's a reason why Bernie's call for virtually free college is popular.

Quit looking at race and start looking at culture, which is what really drives success and failure. That's the major shortcoming behind the whole 'white privilege' meme, this video, and these posts. Judge someone by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. What you are describing are cultural attributes that are conducive to financial planning and educational attainment, not a systematic framework of oppression meant to keep whites in power and hold the brown man down.

I mean, let's start talking about Asian privilege. They do better than whites at all these things.

I won't be paying for some dead ass violent thug wannabe urban gangster youth to go to college.

White or not. I don't want violent elements around any Universities for my future sons and daughters. College is supposed to be a place of learning and enlightenment.

My state school was bad enough and I have a personal story to tell about it. Many personal stories. I could write a book, and I might sell the book to a publisher to be honest. I think I could take an active role in telling the other side of scholarships and free college and probably participate actively in stopping the push for free college.

Many many people slip through the cracks and are attending college for the wrong reasons. Free college would just increase violence on campus. Period.

I'm probably going to draw up an outline tonight. So thanks Juris if this actually comes out alright. I just need a good theme for the book and a good title, the stories and perspective and analysis I can offer (along with supporting research) would be enough to make it a captivating read.

Vote no on turning college into a 3rd world experience.

Thanks for the tl;dw, yeah mtv stuff, but I watched a little. I figured it was a support Bernie message from the getgo, and one targeted to the younger adult population as it started off as. I still may watch it if I find time, it's not just that it's from mtv but I usually watch interviews rather than slick propaganda style pieces.

Here, I'll give you a vid that may give you a little retrospect on it. Was just published and about 30m of interview with Billy Corgan from Smashing Pumpkins about what's going on. There is some more vid by him on what he's saying, good stuff, but this is well enough https://youtu.be/gs2IzNEQEKk

He speaks of the music industry, white privilege, racism, Bernie, Bernie supporters, SJW's, how things changed since the 70's (I'm just a few years younger than him so yeah I notice too), democratic-socialism, and some other stuff.

I don't want the book to be a hatchet piece by any means, I'd prefer it be a bit academic similar to the book series that Bill O'Reily has published re; Lincoln, Jesus, Patton, etc.

I suppose I will need to research the upside of free college thoroughly and present a few cases and examples with statistics.

But at 6% success rate on a BA on a Federal loan, how many success stories will I be able to interview for the book?

I guess we will see.
