“Who am I to stand from my perch of privilege, surrounded by million-dollar homes and paying for a $60,000 education, to condemn these young men as ‘thugs?’” asks Friedfeld. “It’s precisely this kind of ‘otherization’ that fuels the problem.”Note to Mr. and Mrs. Friedfeld: are you sure you want to waste this kind of jack on your precious snowflake?

You know what? Mug him again!
Liberal self-loather makes excuses for the guys who robbed him at gunpoint:

I couldn't believe it when I read it, even though after all this time I have enormous experience with idiots. Now I just want to know where he lives so I can come and take his stuff. I'll use blackface makeup so he won't mind.
ReplyDeleteSon of Robert Fisk?
ReplyDeleteRebecca: Let's do it!
ReplyDeleteThe cards are all in our hands, and we’re not playing them.”
ReplyDeleteI think you're playing with less than a full deck, kid.
If this asshat feels so guilty, he should abandon his expensive education, give away his property, and walk away from his "privileged" lifestyle.
ReplyDeleteY'know, walk the walk, son, don't talk the talk.
And, no, you can't take any credit cards with you.
If anyone brings up politics at Thanksgiving, just say deadpan, 'I hear Bill Clinton has started an oral history project, sounds like a good idea'.
ReplyDeleteJust like the Warmenistas, he doesn't really want to give up his privilege, he just wants to be seen as "more moral than thou." Probably looks like Pajama Boy most of the time [and getting his lunch money taken from him by Islamic Rage Boy].
ReplyDeleteJXM: Pajama boy? How right you are! (Scroll to bottom of linked post)
ReplyDeleteHe needs to do more than give up his expensive education. He needs to share the privilege, maybe by giving his slot at Georgetown to one of his attackers. Oh, and do his homework for him, take his tests, and update that stolen cell phone when a new model comes out.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a famous actor here in Denmark - you know, og the bleeding hearts and poets-type - who's teenage son was mugged several times by young Muslim cultural enrichers and had his wallet an his cell phone stolen. Somehow a reporter got hold of st story (and somehow at actually made into the new)
ReplyDeleteAnyway, this actor had his head so far up his cognitional dissonance that he could not bring it to his heart that it was the thugs that where to blame. It had to be him! somehow.
So he bought his kid a new phone (again) only to have his son beaten up and robbed by a bunch of low-lives. (Again.) But still, it was his own privileged whiteness that brought all this terror down on his 14-year old son, not the gang-bangers.
I couldn't help thinking that instead of buying the kid a new phone, perhaps buying him a gun would make more sense. - OK, In Denmark a gun is not an option, only the bad guys are armed, but at the very least send him to a Kong-Fu class and give him a crash course to a black belt.
But no, somehow it was the Danish people who through their racism and heartlessness towards immigrants where to blame for his son's bruises and broken bones.(Not to mention numerous of lost cell phones and cash.)
Some people simly wont learn.
