The one drop rule may still be common in Brazil but it's not been an active system in the US since the 1940's.  If it were, I'd have to identify as Native American.

As for minority groups requesting special privilege, again, that isn't the case.  Perhaps that's the case in Brazil.  I can't say.  I do know your president Dilma Rousseff was impeached and was known for doling out funds and privileges to "squeeky wheels" as it were.   So perhaps that's the situation in Brazil.  Privileges get demanded and filled.  In the US, it's just equality they demand.

When they look in the mirror and recognize their race, what are the correct and acceptable feelings white people should feel towards their own race?

Do you believe white people cannot feel pride about their own race without that pride implying racism?

Is pride in your own race only ok when that pride comes from being a minority and being an oppressed race?

How do you think white people should feel about their own race?

Peggy is a reaserch scientist and Harvard PhD student... and she's white. For you to dismiss her work as something from buzzfeed actually makes me very interested in seeing you "dismantling" all 50 points one by one.

I look forward to it.

What's the most recent date you see in the One Drop Rule wiki page?  Even given that, only a few states ever used it.  And none, nor the federal government, has used it for almost 80 years.

We are equal but we're not equal here.  Our equal protection laws are written in a way that they can exclude people which means new laws must be made simply to protect them.   We did a stupid thing and wrote our laws as incusive lists instead of just saying "all citizens".   Not so long ago, for example, in many states if you discrimated against someone based on their sexual orientation, there were no repurcussions. What gay pride movements simply wanted was equal discrimination protection that is already afforded everyeone else.  They weren't asking for more severe punishments, greater punitive damages or anything like that.  They just wanted the same thing others had....why is that seen as demanding privilege?

She earned hr PhD through what exacty? Women's studies? Looked up some information on her: She teaches English, American studies, and Women's studies. I earned my B.A. degree and will be going to grad school soon to study more about law. That doesn't mean I will discredit someone who hasn't earned no degree whatsoever on philosophical ideas. In fact, most of the greatest historians we studied in school (such as Frederick Douglass) never went to an actual school and taught themselves how to read and write. A research scientist isn't a "scientist" per se. My mentor in College had a doctorate in English studies. The doctor in the name in this means title, not the name given to a medical practitioner.

Let me break down some of the examples I found ridiculous:

"I can talk with my mouth full and not have people put this down to my color."

In this case, I don't see what she's trying to say. As a child, my mother would hit me right in the mouth if I chewed with my mouth open as I ate. As a result, I don't eat with my mouth open because it reminds me of it. Did she hit me because it was a "black" thing to do? No. On the contrary, she said to me countless of times that it was something poor people did. Poor people can be any color. If one has to associate black as mainly being poor in this equation, then quite frankly, they are looking to make anything about race.

" I can easily buy posters, post-cards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys and children's magazines featuring people of my race."

How is this an advantage? Does the president have to be a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, black, white, obese, anorexic, muscular, paraplegic, man and woman all at the same time for absolultely everyone to identify with him/her? I'm failing to see why any of that matters when what's important in the post card, picture book, greeting card, doll, toy, etc. isn't the color, but what they stand for.

" I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race."

Every single person (of any race) has different proportions in size compared to everyone else. I don't even know where on earth body odor comes into play with race here. There are people that do present stronger odors than others because of their genetics, but that can be a person of any color.

"I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my race."

This one I got into detail with the other poster.

I might actually make a video about this on YouTube, explaining why the rest of the things said by her are ridiculous. Thanks for bringing up the link, in all honesty. Much more detail to go into which I'm up for.

You wish they aren't... you can watch almost any parade and movement discourse and they will talk about historic debt and special threatment they want to equalize.

The greeks didn't celebrate homosexuality, they were on the marriage with woman and seldomly have sex with man.

The reason why today people have these parades is because the bigger issues doesn't exist anymore as they existed in the greek time.

Being able to dismiss these absolutely ridiculous claims properly is good, and can be very useful. But I really think that most of these are so dumb that its pointless to even put in the effort. Good on yah if you do it though.
So many of them boil down to paranoia as well, they come from a scary place.
Every single one of them can also be applied in reverse, because as with all this bullshit about "white privilege", its not about being white, its "majority privilege" and even that is dumb. There are no guarantees. Is anyone talking about "yellow privilege" in China? They are superracist lol (most of my friends are chinese). Most of those things can apply directly to me, being white, hanging out with my chinese friends (despite living in Sweden, a mostly white country).
