There's a graphic now going around on social media.

0:02.4

Ten ways you can actively reject your white privilege.

0:06.5

The people pushing this are serious.

0:08.1

And then they suggest that we must all abide by the strictures recommended in this post if we wish for a better country.

0:12.7

So let's deconstruct this nonsense.

0:14.9

Okay, number one says, take up minimal space during anti-racism dialogues and protests.

0:20.2

Minimal space? I don't even know what that's supposed to mean. Should white people who don't like themselves put themselves in like mom boxes? Should they take Alice in Wonderland potion and shrink down? Or better yet, should they simply stop showing up? What's the big worry here? Man spreading? Intimidation of the people who happen not to share skin color, but who share the same ideas regarding politics, I'd recommend that leftists lighten up, but they'd probably think that was racist. They then say, second, stop contributing to gentrification and calling it urban development. Stop investing in downtrodden areas and building nice homes and shops people. Keep those downtrodden areas racially segregated. At least they're historic. The last thing we would want is people in those

0:54.8

historic areas to have jobs and safer neighborhoods and nice restaurants. They must be relegated to

0:58.9

poverty for the sake of the character of the place. Three, listen when people call you on your

1:03.8

microaggressions. I suppose this means not jumping from the nearest window, which is actually

1:07.8

kind of a sacrifice. Four, never invite people of color to the table for the sake of claiming diversity. I actually agree with this one. How about we just invite people to the table who are interesting and have knowledge, rather than judging them by their skin color. But you know who doesn't agree? Hillary Clinton. She actually suggested having a black person to be named later in her cabinet for the sake of claiming diversity. Five, refrain from using your non-white friends as your urban dictionary. Not sure who does this. Who turns to their black friend and asks them to decode rap songs? Anybody? Then again, if you actually talk about black cultural hallmarks and you're not black, then you're white-splaining or you're engaging in cultural appropriation, so it's a little bit of a catch-22. Six, stop lifting up non-confrontational people of color as example of what people of color activism should be. Stop talking about Martin Luther King Jr. Instead, let's pretend that the Black Panthers and early Malcolm X were better examples of black liberation, even if they actually resulted in, you know, counterproductive backlash as that hurt their causes. It's not like nonviolent resistance has actually succeeded in America or anything.

2:04.9

Seven, call your friends, family and coworkers out on racism, even if a person of color isn't in the room.

2:10.4

This actually seems like a good idea, like this post that we're discussing right now. It's racist.

2:15.7

Eight, understand that all anti-racism work doesn't look the same and advocate accordingly.

2:20.3

This means that you should let everybody do what they please up to it including riots in Ferguson, presumably.

2:24.8

9. Realize that all discussions about race aren't for you and be okay with it.

2:29.8

You see, if you're called racist or if we're discussing racism, you should shut up because you're white. It's not for you. Yeah, it's about you, and yet you're the problem, and yet you suck, but shut up. That's not racism, you know, to tell white people to shut up when discussing how much they suck. That's rejecting white privilege. It's your privilege to speak, so we have to reject that privilege. 10. Recognize that you're still racist no matter what. Well, I mean, to be honest, this sort of defeats the purpose of points one through nine. We could just skip to this one and then do whatever we want anyway, since we'll never actually be able to escape our white privilege. So thanks, leftists, for ensuring that racism lives on, and forcing people to shut up based on skin color. You've done us all a real service, at least in

exposing your own moral benightedness. I'm Ben Shapiro. This is The Ben Shapiro Show.

3:16.2

You know, every time you think that you've actually parodied the left sufficiently, they

3:20.1

parody themselves, and it all goes out the window. I want to talk a lot about Trump care today

3:25.2

because the new Congressional Budget Office report is out and it basically sucks. There's a bunch

in it that is not true or there's a bunch in it that is based on faulty premises and the entire
