    Seems no one bitched about "white privilege" when Chelsea Clinton got a $900K gig from NBC , right out of college with zero experience

    She was a piker compared to Hunter Biden

    Looks like she didn't pay too much attention to her parents

    Should have gotten a gig in the Ukraine

    I grew up white trailer park trash and most of the time didn't have two quarters to rub together, yes I have white privilege.

    I was told by a co-worker about “White Privilege ”.

    I said, I’m not sure I’m doing it right, because you have the same job and wage that I have and you know less and do less. Just saying.

    Hmm... not sure what that is. I have never viewed a person by the color of their skin. I am a white female and I know I have been discriminated against. They gave a man the promotion because he had a wife and kid and I was verbally told that by the person in charge. I was a single mom raising my kid and more qualified and had spent more years with the company. I even had to train the guy. I was passed over for a promotion at another company because they needed a person of color for their count. I have never received a white special person card. No special treatment for me. I feel we all should be treated equally.

    I have a Buddy who's mother was a highly qualified RN, PRN who actually taught Para medics/nursing at Loyola Hospital besides working the ER, Burn Unit, Pediatrics, Cancer, and Cardiac units over the years ... She wanted to retire but knew there was no way she could sit back and enjoy life as a retired person so she filled out an application for International Harvester for an on sight company nurse ... She actually got a letter from Human resources that she was over qualified for the position so it was given to another person ( a Black Lady) ... This more or less really Torqued her ass so she did a little checking and found out the lady who was hired was indeed an RN with minimal experience compared to her so she turned to the Labor Board and EEOC to see if by chance what they did was acceptable taking into consideration all hiring standards ... Long Story short, she eventually filed suit against Harvester, appeared in court and won her law suit ... She was given the job as the Supervising Nurse over the EMS ( Emergency Medical Services ) for International Harvester , paid all of her back pay, given her vacation time, uniform allowances, and got the Premium parking spot, besides an undisclosed amount as settlement for their discriminatory hiring practices ... Last time I talked to my Buddy, his mother had just retired after being in Nursing for over 50 years, 20 of them at International Harvester ... Not sure she ever gave "White Privilege" a thought as she worked and earned her way to the TOP in her profession ... WPT ... (YAC) ...
