    This is an absolutely childish response.

    He only values the opinions of mods and Hat Guy.

    Has he broken out the line about the comb lately? That used to be his favorite.

    Moderators have authority. You don't.

    Colorblind is not the current standard of fighting racism. It’s hyper colorvision. And there is a distinct order. And if you don’t don’t fit the current definition of the oppressed, you are the oppressor or maybe they will grant that while you are not the oppressor, your life has largely been defined by the benefits you received from the oppression of another.

    is it as simple as If you’re not black, you’re privileged. If you’re privileged, your life and accomplishments are heavily tarnished. So tarnished in fact, that you cannot claim to have achieved anything without racism.

    My favorite is when he says something to the effect of "Don't you dare speak to me like that." Or what? He'll beat me up?

    He has this handful of phrases someone gave him once to try and win internet arguments and he clings to them like a Charles Atlas course.

    Wow, sorry I even broached this subject with you. My stepfather of nearly 50 years is an 11th grade drop out from Idaho, one of 12 kids from a dirt poor farm, who left to join the Navy, served in Korea, learned a trade and worked 40 years in the trenches, very similar to the guy in that poster. Yeah, I've seen white privilege and he's the exact opposite. But you get cries for "hyper colorvision" because America couldn't even do colorblindness, not even after the Civil Rights era, mandatory busing, Title VII. If you don't realize that, I don't know what to say to you.
