It doesn't have to be white privilege. Privilege is just as insidious in any form, but because our country's class imbalance skews along color lines (predominantly, though, of course, there are exceptions), it often manifests as racial.

Read the whole thing because it's brilliant.

Well, at least we can all take comfort in the knowledge that Sarah Palin won't be the first woman elected President...

I'm a little leery of the whole race issue here, because it would be so easy for any of the "I'm just uncomfortable" reasons (ahh, the complete lack of rationality that has become elevated as the American way) to be proxies for race. At the same time, assaulting his "celebrity" doesn't really seem to be race-sensitive, so much as nonsensical... but would they say the same thing about JFK?

(These days, they probably would...)
