Pat Buchanan: "Whites Are the Only Group That You Can Discriminate Against Legally in America Now"

Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan made a statement Friday guaranteed to make liberal media members' heads spin.

During a discussion about Affirmative Action on PBS's McLaughlin Group, Buchanan said, "Whites are the only group that you can discriminate against legally in America now"

What say you, is Pat Buchanan right ?

I concur with Buchanan.

I think the blacks and Hispanics targeted by stop-and-frisk and other forms of racial profiling would disagree, LOL. I do appreciate this pervasive white victim mentality. Isn't it amazing how many white people have framed themselves as the "true victims" of racism ever since slavery? You would think by now all white people would have figured out that a loss of white privilege does not constitute discrimination or racism.

 

[ThePlayDrive]

There is no privilege for being white in the USA [...]

White people face far less discrimination in housing than blacks and Hispanics. That is a privilege of being white.

 

[Un biased]

The worst kind of racism is self segregation The kind people don't think twice about doing .

 

[Wehrwolfen]

Don't confuse the fact that we dislike you to mean we dislike white people.

So you claim that open season on white people is just and correct, while bringing the perps to justice cannot be prosecuted under very Racial Hate Crimes Act written by those who claim they are the aggrieved.

There are two forms of law enforcement. Pro-active and Re-active. Re-active law enforcement being known as progressive law enforcement, not in reference to a hands on approach to law enforcement but political.

Pro-active law enforcement is about preventing crimes, jacking up know criminals. Communities who law enforcement agencies who practice this old kind of being a Peace officer usually have a low crime rate.

Progressive re-active law enforcement is exactly what it says, reacting to crime after the crime has been committed. Those communities that practice this PC style of law enforcement usually have a high crime rate, like Los Angeles, Milwaukee, Detroit, Oakland, etc.

To put it in layman terms, profiling is good law enforcement.

After I was discharged from the Marines I had saved up a lot of money, 13 months and no place to spend my pay. So in 1972 I bought a 1956 Harley Panhead on a 52 rigid frame. I would say I was pulled over and jacked-up by the cops probably 30 times with in two years. Why was that ? Pro-active law enforcement. From 1950 to 1980 the vast majority of those who road Harley Davidson's were 1% outlaw bikers.

Did I whine like a lib and go running to the ACLU yelling that I was being profiled ? No

In fact by being jacked-up so often that I realized that if I kept living this life style I was going to end up in the joint. It was time to go back to my old life style.

 

[Rainman05]

Are you kidding me!? Of course we have a privilege for being white in the US. People treat you friendlier and are more trusting of you. Waiters/bartenders, sales clerks, the police, receptionists, bankers/loan officers, and all of them ... I don't think I've ever seen a little old lady cringe and edge away from me clutching her purse. I have NEVER gone into a store and seen the products I use (like hair dye for light verses dark hair) locked up in theft prevention devices, while the product that other people use do not have the same protection. I don't think I ever really get eyed by the sales clerk like I'm going to steal. That's definitely not true for my minority friends. They don't have that privilege. I am really lucky to be white. Really lucky.

Or, said another way ...

Oh yes, because your personal experience is provable and verifiable. Also, Louis CK. really? The guys' an idiot and I never liked his style of comedy. he made fun of his wife and kids live, calling them stupid and much more, which is why his wife divorced his sorry ass. About damn time. The guys' a loser and hence, anything he says is solid proof that reality is the opposite.

 

[Buck Ewer]

It's so hard to be a white man is America, and racists like Buchanan will tell you about it all day long.

 

[APACHERAT]

The worst kind of racism is self segregation The kind people don't think twice about doing .

That's exactly what the LaRaza movement is all about. But the left gives this racist organization a complete pass, probably because they are part of the radical left.

Are you entitled to use the name Apache, or are you stealing their honor?

Whether it's "good" or not is irrelevant. The fact is that it is discrimination which means that Pat Buchanan is full of ****, as always.

 

[APACHERAT]

It's so hard to be a white man is America, and racists like Buchanan will tell you about it all day long.

Your only saying that Pat Buchanan is a racist because your prejudice. You prejudge people the same as profiling or stereotyping of people you don't even personally know. Just about every liberal who personally knows Pat Buchanan says he's not racist.

Hunter S. Thompson practically lived in Pat Buchanan's pool drinking his beer and scotch and his observations were that Pat was right on and not a racist or a bigot.

 

[APACHERAT]

Whether it's "good" or not is irrelevant. The fact is that it is discrimination which means that Pat Buchanan is full of ****, as always.

In the endgame, Pat always seems to end up being right.

 

[Wiseone]

So you claim that open season on white people is just and correct, while bringing the perps to justice cannot be prosecuted under very Racial Hate Crimes Act written by those who claim they are the aggrieved.

So I said I dislike APACHERAT, but that has nothing to do with the fact that's white. All that you said is just some straw man you made up.

 

[APACHERAT]

Are you entitled to use the name Apache, or are you stealing their honor?

I've lived on the Rez. I was accepted and treated as a one of them.

 

[APACHERAT]

So I said I dislike APACHERAT, but that has nothing to do with the fact that's white. All that you said is just some straw man you made up.

For a second I thought this thread was flushed down to the sewer.
Nope, it's still up.

BTW:
Your hate has been noted.

Or, said another way ...

Like I said before whites don't tend to notice these things because it's harder to notice what's not there. Once you begin to think of white privilege in terms of advantages that accrue to you for NOT being dark-skinned then it can begin to make more sense.

There have been a huge number of statistics already posted on this thread about the disparity between racial groups in terms of stop-and-frisk, police interaction, educational attainment, income levels, poverty, housing, sentencing and prison populations, and even callbacks on resumes where all things being equal, if you change the name on a resume to a black-sounding name, it will return lower percentages of interview requests. Those statistics are often cited and completely blow over the heads of most people, yourself probably included.

But it doesn't take a genius to figure out that, in your own life, you (Rainman) have personally witnessed minorities get treated differently. It's not a fault of ours. It's not anything for which you or I asked. It's not saying that we are racist or that we ourselves are treating people differently. It's saying that we still live in a society were some racial groups are viewed more positive than others, and that we were the ones that happened to get lucky. We have a privilege being white. Denying that this is true is disingenuous, false and unfair to those that don't get treated equally.

Hate of what?

No, the teachers unions control the schools. And where do most of the teacher's union dues go ?

Whites control the teacher unions. lol

Most of Chicago's public school teachers were white single women........Teachers came from a shifting mix of white-collar and blue-collar families.[68]

Whites benefitted from 'affirmative action" programs such as the the GI bill, social security which were geared to help whites....

Whites also control the US congress, as well as every state in the union.


According to the 2010 US census, the majority of the population 72.4% are white.

There really isn't much that whites don't own or have control over. But you're upset because whites are discriminated against?


Why do white people tan themselves?

She's not even on the list...

I think she was until recently, her ratings went south and she lost her dumbass show after she started pushing obama

 

[Objective Voice]

It seems you had a problem comprehending Pat Buchanan's commentary. He was commenting on a U.S. Naval Academy professor Bruce Fleming's article that ran in the Washington Post. < Naval Academy Professor Challenges Rising Diversity - Washington Post >

It isn't that there aren't enough blacks or Hispanics who have the brains to lead our son's and daughters into combat. It's that those minorities who do have the brains don't want to serve in the military. They would rather earn a degree and go into the private sector and make money.

President Obama on a number of occasions said he plans to change the face of the U.S. military by using social engineering. It's right out of Joseph Stalin's playbook, to redefine the purpose and culture of the military in the name of a socialist political ideology.

Ummm, no. I was commenting on that portion of the conversation where Pat Buchanan made his comment. In fact, YOU posted a link to the transcript in the OP - a thread YOU started. Moreover, the opening line from the transcript speaks directly to "college admissions based on diversity".

Transcript:

JOHN MCLAUGHLIN, HOST: Are you saying college admissions should be based on diversity?

ELEANOR CLIFT, NEWSWEEK/DAILY BEAST: Yeah, I mean, I think lots of factors go into diversity. I think race can be one of them, and I think the Supreme Court so far agrees with that.

MCLAUGHLIN: 67 percent opposed it, 28, you’re in the minority. Only 28 percent are in favor of it.

PAT BUCHANAN: It should be based on excellence, John.

CLIFT: As long as the Supreme Court agrees with me, I’m fine.

BUCHANAN: It should be like the NFL: whoever’s the best player plays, and whoever does best academically should be advanced. What is wrong with that?

MICHELLE BERNARD: Here’s a question I have. One of the things I always say because I think you can measure diversity in a lot of ways, but I think there’s an argument to be said that the greatest Affirmative Action program that there is in the country is being born white. There is a natural assumption when you are applying to institutions of higher education that you are excellent or you are more superb than others.

BUCHANAN: With due respect, whites are the only group that you can discriminate against legally in America now.

From what I could tell from the transcript and the video, Pat Buchanan's comment wasn't restricted to minority admissions to the Naval Academy. There may have been a brief discussion of such within the overall scope of the discussion topic, but you couldn't tell from the transcript nor video you linked to because such was not discussed within them. So, if you have a link to the broader discussion where the Naval Academy's admission and diversity numbers where discussed, perhaps you should post it here for all to see. Otherwise, I stand by my assessment that Pat Buchanan is wrong in his commentary and the figures I posted support my assessment.

White privilege is what this is really about. Frankly, I don't see how many Whites can claim they're being discriminated against even today 50 years after the Civil Rights march on Washington DC. The unemployment rate among Blacks is still double what it is for Whites. I look around the office where I work and there's no doubt that Blacks are still in the minority. Blacks as a percentage of our demographic still exceed the number of Whites on social programs. So, how White people like Pat Buchanan can make such an outlandish claim is beyond me. But make no mistake. This is all done to generate an environment of fear among the races. Folks just need to stop! There's no cause for it.

Define "white privilige" and give examples.
Explain why black unemployment rates are so high.
Explain why more negroes (percentage wise) are involved in "social programs" than whites, yet there are more poor whites than blacks.

 

[Objective Voice]

Define "white privilige" and give examples.

White privilege is really a state of consciousness where a White person truly believes they deserve to be held to a higher standard than any other racial group. Moreover, such an individual would believe that his "rights" as a White person are either being removed or eroding. One such example of the "privilege" is the focus of this thread - college admissions, particularly to Ivy League schools. When daddy's millions buys his son's way in and the son feels "others" who are "less deserving" don't belong there, that's white privilege. One clear example could be found within the Tea Party itself where a majority of its membership is White. Every time I hear someone say, "We need to take our country back," I ask, "Take it back where and from whom?" What rights or privileges have been taken away from White America that they feel they can't get them back?

You can still vote.

You can still peacefully assemble and protest.

You can still travel the country at will without restriction.

You can still carry a fire arm (properly licensed and registered, of course).

You can still live anywhere you want (short of on federal/Indian land).

You can still purchase anything good or service from any merchant you wish to place your currency with.

You can still speak your mind and say anything you want short of yelling "Fire" in a crowded room.

You will still receive a jury of your peers and a fair trail under the law.

I mean, what rights and privileges have been taken away from you?

Explain why black unemployment rates are so high.

Has a lot to do with lower education both in expectation, opportunity (i.e., affordability), and graduation from both high school and college. If you can't be trained in a higher skill-set, you don't have the same types of employment opportunities as your White counter-parts. Thus, for several generations Blacks were "pushed" into specific low-paying jobs with little to no upward mobility. Even today as evidenced by the very Census data I presented herein, Blacks still fall behind Whites, Asian and Hispanics in the number of college enrollment and much of that has to do with the purposeful "targeting" of minorities - Blacks in particular - towards high interest college loan programs, such as ParentPLUS and other Direct Loan programs. There are, of course, some cultural reasons why Hispanics are starting to fair better in college enrollment than Blacks of late, but it wouldn't surprise me if one such benefactor was their location. Let's not forget, some states (i.e., Texas) pay for Hispanics to go to school (Re: TX Gov. Rick Perry, 2012 GOP Presidential Primaries).

Explain why more negroes (percentage wise) are involved in "social programs" than whites, yet there are more poor whites than blacks.

See commentary above.

 

[P. Kersey]

White privilege is really a state of consciousness.....

Ok..got that. It's an imaginary condition that people use to blame white people for their own failures and when they don't have facts to support their bias.

Has a lot to do with lower education both in expectation, opportunity (i.e., affordability), and graduation from both high school and college.

Who is preventing people from graduating from high school?

College tuition is what it is. It isn't a conspiracy against negroes.

If you can't be trained in a higher skill-set, you don't have the same types of employment opportunities as your White counter-parts.

Why can't they be trained? What prevents it?

Thus, for several generations Blacks were "pushed" into specific low-paying jobs with little to no upward mobility.

They were pushed into low paying jobs?
Explain exactly who did this and specifically how it was accomplished. Give examples.

Even today as evidenced by the very Census data I presented herein, Blacks still fall behind Whites, Asian and Hispanics in the number of college enrollment and much of that has to do with the purposeful "targeting" of minorities - Blacks in particular - towards high interest college loan programs, such as ParentPLUS and other Direct Loan programs.

It can't be that not every student has different degrees of ability, then? It's all a big conspiracy by white people against negroes to hold them down?

There are, of course, some cultural reasons why Hispanics are starting to fair better in college enrollment than Blacks of late, but it wouldn't surprise me if one such benefactor was their location.

Academic scholarships are available to anyone who qualifies, regardless of race....based on excellence in scholastic achievement.

Let's not forget, some states (i.e., Texas) pay for Hispanics to go to school (Re: TX Gov. Rick Perry, 2012 GOP Presidential Primaries).

How nice. List the states that give free tuition to white kids.
