Sometimes a thing speaks for itself. Behold the mayor of New Brighton, Val Johnson, in full flower of discourse:
For the sake of argument, let's say white privilege exists, although we might have quite different definitions of what it actually is. I do know it's okay to argue the premise. I'm not sure how unhinged behavior from white liberal politicians solves, or even mollifies, the problem of white privilege. We need to call a thing what it is, and Johnson's behavior here is unworthy of elected office.
Val Johnson was elected mayor two years ago by a margin of 58 votes. She really ought to return to private life. New Brighton voters have an alternative, Sharon Doffing, who previously served on the city council. I'd strongly suggest a change is in order.

If denying "feeling" white privilege amounts to the worst racism the mayor has ever seen, she's either lying, or she's been pretty sheltered in life. Given that you can hardly read the papers, watch the evening news, or (ahem) get a grade school education in this country without seeing worse, she's got to be either clueless or lying.
she's clearly a product of higher education. us common folks are too stupid to think that way.
