Is “Check Your Privilege” The New “Racist”? (PODCAST)

by Austin Petersen

Have you checked your white male privilege today? 

white-male-privlegeIn a new column by cis-gendered white male lawyer Kurt Schlichter, the white male says that he’s checked his privilege, and it’s doing just fine. Schlichter argues that liberals have a new word for what normal people call “success.” They call it “privilege.” He believes that liberals have concocted a fantasy wherein people are successful, not because of merit, but because of where their great-great-grandfather was born.

The Freedom Report podcast today features two cis-gendered white males with opinions discussing the tactics of the cultural Marxists of the left, and how libertarians and conservatives can use specific issues of congruence to take the moral high ground away from the social democrats.
