Yes. I do. It's the foundation of critical race theory and it's harming people I care about. White people, Black people, Asian people. They are all in conflict. I have to do everything in secret because everyone is obsessed with privilege and white supremacy and atoning for the sins of colonialism. I'm thinking that I should start a consultancy that removes the woke. First I have to figure out how to do it.

I’m surprised the Democratic Party resurrected racism. The party is really going back to its roots.

They think Obama has more privilege than a white person in poverty. It's bonkers. And it's making people more racist, not less.

They think Obama has more privilege than a white person in poverty. It's bonkers. And it's making people more racist, not less.

But it sounds like you're saying Obama - former POTUS, world-renowned statesman and ultra famous personality with a personal fortune of $40-70 million - has less or equal "privilege" than a white person in poverty solely based on skin color. Like skin color is the only fact of a person's life that counts.

So having skin color that causes Obama to be seen as black (rather than mixed race) means he's obtained no "privilege" or benefits from his parentage & background, his Ivy League degrees, or all the awards, appointments, accomplishments and high status jobs that he's been been racking up his whole life? He spent 8 years as the most powerful man on planet earth, today in 2020 he's supposedly the "world's most admired man," and he lives a private-jet-set, mansion-dwelling posh life amongst the world's ultra-elites - but it's "bonkers" to think he might have "more privilege than a white person in poverty"?

I think the wokes would argue that Obama would be even more successful as a white person. That would be wrong.

Did you mean to put that the other way around?
