Mohawk Nation News 'Paleface Privilege'

MNN: PALEFACE PRIVILEGE

Posted on February 16, 2013

PALEFACE PRIVILEGE 
MNN. Feb. 16/13. Fundamentalist whites think they are always right. Prime Minister Harper cruelly and coldly told Indigenous women victims of horrific assault and sexual abuse crimes by the RCMP to go to their rapists to file reports. This is a disrespectful white privilege remark to fuel racism.
Corporation of Canada logo!
Corporation of Canada motto.

When we walk into a store at the same time as a white person, the security guard follows us and leaves them alone to shop.
When a white persons tries to get into a school, applies for a job, or hunts for an apartment, they get it because they are white and don’t look threatening. The person dishing out the privilege is usually white. White privilege also means scores of second rate white people slide through the system because their ignorance and flaws are overlooked. This has obviously lead to mediocrity of brains and talent in high places. 
Backroom planning
Re: 2007 AFN-RCMP collaboration.
Whites benefit from living in a world they designed, mostly run by white people that has been built on our land. They always say they did not personally take the land, but continue to benefit from its possession and fruits. To do this they inflict systemic racism and lawlessness on the land owners. 
We always point out white privilege. No one listens to us unless a white person says it in mainstream media.  Otherwise the masses do not believe it. Historically, on MSM 4 bad stories for every good one on Indigenous to fuel racism. 
Here are some of the white insights into the issue: white privilege can’t be changed. They say affirmative action has made being white a disadvantage! It’s natural. White privilege is a good thing because white Europeans have civilized the world. Whites are inherently superior. Any white who says differently is a weakling and a traitor.    
Integrational whites are often paternalistic and condescending of Indigenous people. They want to keep the peace, avoid confrontation and maintain control. They want to keep the status quo, to continue the systemic racism. 
They’re adamant about keeping their white privilege. They are concerned about any of the settlers who are starting to stand against the genocide.   
White privilege is not merit. It is unearned. When we Indigenous seek a job, an apartment or a position in school and we are turned down, it’s because we are Indigenous. Unqualified whites will generally be put ahead of us on most lists.
hear that?
Kemosabe! When smoke come over big mountain 3 times, I will return.
As Procol Harum sang: “And so it was that later, as the miller told his tale, that her face, at first just ghostly, turned a whiter shade of pale”. Whiter Shade of Pale

No Uranium: Protect Sacred Land: White Mesa Ute Spiritual Walk and Protest
The U.S. government and its corporations believe nuclear waste should be dumped on Native communities, like the White Mesa Ute community in Utah. From the endangerment of radioactive haul trucks covered only with tarps, to leaking containers and aquifer risks, it is reckless.
