Some Privileges McCain And Palin Recieve Because They're White?

White privilege is when you can :
*get pregnant at 17 like Bristol Palin and people is quick to think that your life and that your family is a personal matter, and that no one has a right to judge you or your parents, because "every family has challenges," even as minority families with the same "challenges" are regularly thought as irresponsible, dont know where they want to go in life or what they want to do and just adds on to every other statistics that makes our race seem bad.
*go to four different colleges in six years like Sarah Palin did (one of which you failed out of, then returned to after making up some coursework at a community college), and no one questions your intelligence or commitment to achievement, but if a person of color who did this would be viewed as unfit for college and probably someone who only got in in the first place because of affirmative action.
*claim that being mayor of a town smaller than most medium-size colleges, and then governor of a state with about the same number of people as the lower fifth of Manhattan, makes you ready to potentially be president, and people don't all laugh, while being a black U.S. senator, two-term state senator and constitutional law scholar means you're "not-ready."
*be able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office -- since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't added until the 1950s -- while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school, requires it), is a silly idea only supported by mushy liberals.
*be able to be gun happy and not make people immediately scared of you and being able to have a husband who was a member of an extremist political party that wants your state to break away from the Union, and whose motto was "Alaska first," and no one questions your patriotism or that of your family, while if you're black and your spouse merely fails to come to a 9/11 memorial so that she can be home with her kids on the first day of school, people automatically think she's being disrespectful.

All Of These Privileges That Sarah Palin And John McCain Gets For Being White To Me Is a Bunch Of Predjudice Thoughts That People Believe Just Because Of The Things They Hear Or Experienced. I Already Knew For a Fact That They Were Going To Get Better Benefits For Things Because Of Their Race. Palin and McCain Isnt Any Better Than Barack And His Wife. Bt Until Hand Touches Keyboard.....
