SE Louisiana Psychology Professor Mystified By Students’ Reluctance To Write About Their Privilege
This is a psychology professor, y’all.
Most accurate sentence from this video was, “I’m always a mess.” Yes, lady. You really really are.
It’s somewhat heartening, actually, that this lunatic’s students are resistant to the question. And the reason they’re resistant is likely (hopefully) because they know what a preposterous and pointless exercise her question about privilege is.
I talked about that a little in this previous post. Yes, of COURSE each of us has advantages and disadvantages compared to other people. That’s part of what makes us all unique individuals. She may as well have just tasked her students with writing about what makes them fortunate in some ways and less fortunate in others, which is an exercise better suited for a 4th grade writing class and not a university level psych class.
But here’s the problem. These “privilege” discussions ARE NOT ABOUT just recognizing and appreciating our differences. They’re part of a sinister, woke, equity-seeking ideology which is actually really dangerous, because it’s divisive and victimizing and serves no purpose other than to try and create artificial equal outcomes for people by punishing those with perceived privilege. It’s all a bunch of nonsense.
But just as a thought exercise, let’s say you were taking her class right now. How would YOU answer her question?

My response to this hosebeast would be: I have CHRISTIAN and AMERICAN privilege and don’t buy into being a black female automatically makes me a victim, so get over it, WOMAN! Yes, I dared to refer to the Naughty Professor as a woman.
Some say I’m lucky being stuck here with your hogwash, so I’m planning to repay you with a pillow stuffed with shed horsefeathers.
I would reply as follows: My privilege allows me to see what can be, unburdened by what has been.
Well. It also leads to kids growing up with extreme depression issues, and as a result of that, growing up to be mass murderers. Which I have a feeling that’s exactly what leftests like this professor want.
I had so much privilege when I was growing up. House with no A/C, no cable TV, no cell phone, no internet, no microwave oven, no tv or phone in my room, no huge allowance, worked during the summer, very rarely went to a restaurant or movie, never went to Disneyland or the beach or concerts or have a jammin’ stereo system.
I’m right there with ya. Remember swamp coolers? I had one of those lovelies in my bedroom window. So I was hot (we live in basically a desert) AND sweaty. All. Night. Long. Lovely. We didn’t have color TV until I was in my teens. 15 or so, I think. Just had basic cable (3 channels + PBS back when PBS was decent). The first microwave my parents bought was HUGE. It was a countertop kind, and I don’t think it even had a time display. We had, at first, only one phone, which was downstairs in the dining room by the kitchen door. The second phone, when we finally got one, was located in the master bedroom. One did not go into the master bedroom to answer the phone unless one was instructed to do so by a parent. LOL. Ah, the 60s!
Regardless of where you are placed on the Privilege Scale when you were born, study hard, work hard, apply yourself, and make smart life choices and you will move up the scale. Start by quit blaming society and quit being a whiny liberal.
Are you Dr. Ben Carson incognito?
No, but thanks for the compliment. Dr. Carson is much more “accomplished” than I am. How can that be possible since I have more privilege?
Plus, don’t buy into the ASSertion that hard work, dedication, self restraint, making sacrifices, delayed gratification and other transcendent, helpful characteristics of conservatism as being “Eurocentric” and must be avoided by “people of color”, per that asinine display at the Smithsonian.
I’d tell her my ONLY privilege is I was born an American. EVERYTHING else I worked my butt off for, and she can stick her “privilege” exercise right up her bunghole.
How would I answer her question?
Privilege like the rest of social psychology is a broken tool created for political purposes not scientific analysis and should be rejected in it’s current state since it’s clearly came from Marxist ideology about power struggles in society.
The only privilege I had was getting drafted to go to Vietnam. I will gladly give that to one of the wokesters so they can have a similar experience.
They’d probably pee their pants at the mere thought of being on the battlefield and cry about the lack of “safe spaces”. This niece of a Marine Vietnam veteran, thanks you for your military service and welcomes you back home, though it’s been years since you returned.
Thank you for your service! One of my brothers was a Marine who served in Vietnam. He was probably there somewhere around 1970-71 or so. He was wounded at least once; I remember my mom getting a picture of him with a white bandage wrapped around his upper arm. Oh, my gosh, she FREAKED out! Another brother (two years younger) served in the Army but was not sent to Vietnam. Still, we are grateful for his service, as well.
I am privileged to be a citizen of and to live in the USA.
If you want to be taken seriously, dress for the job you have, not the metal-heads you idolized as a teen.
Iron Maiden called, and they asked for you to not wear their shirt.
. . . including devout Christian, drummer Nicko McBrain! I’m sure that he’s conservative and sees what the professor spews as pure, unadulterated balderdash.
Let me correct your spelling……..BULLS-HIT There, fixed it. how are you doing? The like/don’t like has disappeared but I’ll give you a thumbs up.
