"White privilege is being able to say that you support the words "under God" in the pledge of allegiance because "if it was good enough for the founding fathers, it's good enough for me," and not be immediately disqualified from holding office--since, after all, the pledge was written in the late 1800s and the "under God" part wasn't added until
the 1950s--while believing that reading accused criminals and terrorists their rights (because, ya know, the Constitution, which you used to teach at a prestigious law school requires it), is a dangerous and silly idea only supported by mushy liberals."

It's the lack of knowledge and raising up of being ignorant that makes me want to just peace out of the US.

While the details of this are interesting, I disagree with the angle/message as a whole. The lies and double standards and favoritism of each side would be present regardless of race.

In other words, almost all of this would have gone exactly the same if they were running against Al Gore (for example).
