I am encouraged by the results of the white privilege poll

[kwassa]

despite the loud minority, at this time 92% of DU believe it is a real issue. So much for the loud mouths. One was PPR'd.

the poll is here

Number23 - check it out! There's a name there that has you shaking your head, laughing, and moving on. It's the guy who thought I asked if he was angry - when in fact I made a statement!

[Number23]

10. Is it just me or do the vast majority of those "no" names seem EXTREMELY home made?

"Wolf Frankula"

5. you have to love those who were trying to convince us they had better words for it. Like atheists

trying to come up with a name for god. I don't think it works that way.
Being charitable, a few may have grown up and still live in completely homognous areas? But seriously- wouldn't they understand they have had very limited experiences then? I don't buy it.

6. This one is probably more accurate

7. Why do you think it is more accurate?

[BainsBane]

8. Because I can tell from discussions

that more than seven percent of DUers oppose the term white privilege. One created a poll that expressed how he saw the issue and as a result 36% showed their opposition. It's still good that a strong majority are more aware, but I think we know it is more than 7 percent who aren't.

9. Many of the loudest anti-privilege haven't particpated in either poll.
