White Privilege!? ... Where Can I Get Some!?

White Privilege!? ... Where Can I Get Some!?


White privilege (or white skin privilege) - A term for societal privileges that benefit people identified as white in Western countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances.

Yeah ... RIIIIIGHT!

Y'know ... I've been looking around for some a' thet there what privilege m'self. For years in fact. Haven't found it yet. I thought it might've been in the white supremacist movement some years back but thought wrong. Still looking.

Maybe I should ask the ones complaining about it. You know, those poor persecuted minority types who have it so bad here they plan to stay? They talk so much and so certain about white privilege maybe they know where I could find it.

I mean, I WANT that bigger paycheck, the expense account, the trust fund, a better apartment and new car every year.

The membership card, decoder ring and the secret handshake would come in handy too!

 SIGN ME UP! I wanna' join. What papers do I have to mark? Do I get a certificate to hang on the wall?

And I sure could use that latent power lying just under the surface the media keeps hinting at  ... You know ... That vast nazi conspiracy that's always about to strike at any moment and bring on the Fourth Reich. I'd use it ... IMMEDIATELY ...

 Or I could just settle for a Death Note.

Jus' sayin' ...

On Purchasing Anime Online: Caveat Emptor, Buyer Beware

     
      I've come to realize, in these tough economic times, if  I'm to expand my movie/cartoon collection, I'll have to do it on the cheap as much as possible. Cheep with a capitol cheep (Yes, I spelled it "correctly". That's how cheap ..... er ..... cheep it's got to be.).

      There are the usual sources: Dollar stores, thrift shops, Goodwill, Salvation Army & Big Lots. As these are pretty much "catch as catch can", I gave online retailers a try.

      One anime merchant looked pretty good. They didn't have the particular title I was looking for at that moment, but they did have two others I was interested in. Starship Operators & Death Note. At 60% off, it was less than a buck an episode with some series so I placed an order.

      They arrived in two days. VERY prompt service.

      When I opened the package, my heart sank. Why was the packaging mostly in Kanji? Why no company marketing logo? Uh Oh! I popped the discs in the machine to check performance.

      Though the two shows were originally marketed here by two different companies, the menu "template" was the same (PLAY, CHAPTER, SETUP, EXTRA). PLAY of course, played (Wouldn't go to MENU just started playing first ep.). CHAPTER consisted of two rows of thumbnails. SETUP: audio English/Japanese, subtitles English/ Chinese. EXTRA consited of only the opening credits sequence & would automatically play it. While you could go from one ep to the next on the chapter menu, you couldn't advance in steps (You could fast forward/rev.) Closing English credits on the shows revealed they were of the original marketers here in the states.

      I will say picture & sound quality were excellent. No way can I complain about that.

      I had originally thought they were selling "closeouts" a la Big Lots. This is what happens when you don't "look before you leap". As in any business, you get what you pay for. Considering the price, I did.
