You're really fucking stupid if you think Macklemore's music is a product of white guilt.

There's probably something to it in rare cases, but 99% of the time the people whining about it ignore things like hard work, creativity, iniative etc. and focus on making everyone who fails a victim.
I'm way more worried about income inequality and a lack of upward mobility.

BINGO and with our Big Government Spending, ZIRP, and QE I-IV, it has juiced stocks, commercial real estate, residential real estate, and other real assets while working stiffs with few real assets see their purchasing power erode:

As for White Privilege, I say it's loser talk and becomes a self-defeating prophecy for those who throw it around because it diminishes what a person who happens to be white achieves while it excuses away failure (or middling results) of those who happen to have more pigment in their skin.
And is there anything such as "Asian-American Privilege" since they are wealthier, more educated, and less likely to be incarcerated than whites, blacks, or latinos? If not, how come? Is it because that doesn't fit the narrative of those who engage in loser talk and are sub-consciously racing to the bottom?

I'm convinced that outside of small pockets of this country (and most of those pockets are generally insignificant in the grand scheme of things), race isn't an issue except to those that want to make it an (alleged) issue.
It doesn't matter what your skin color is, what your religious beliefs are, or what your sexual orientation is. If you are willing to put in the work, make sacrifices along the way, and make your chosen path a significant enough priority in your life, you can achieve tremendous success.
I see/hear a lot of comments about the unemployment rate. Has anybody ever stopped to think about why there is such unemployment?
Many people coming out of undergraduate programs struggle to find jobs upon graduating. Has anybody ever stopped to think about what the underlying issues are with the job skills that are required by our professional environment versus the skills that most undergraduates have upon graduating?
I read something the other day that the unemployment rate for those with Masters Degrees is in the neighborhood of 3% (even for those with TCU MBAs). Has anybody ever stopped to think why this class of worker is more desired upon our business community than other workers?
We like to make a lot of excuses as a society. It's what drives a lot of these discussions. We like to make simplistic answers that point the finger. We hate as a society asking tough questions that demand tough answers. We don't necessarily like hearing the truth because it can be hurtful to many.
The world is changing. The skill sets required to operate in this world are changing. If you don't have the skills to compete in that world, it's not like people are going to just give you a hand out because you are entitled to it. Not even Pat Haden is that fucking stupid.

Big government has to be the villain in every form of inequality and the gullibility of poverty escapism, since big money is never accountable for anything but slave waged jobs and disappearing benefits in exchange for honest labor. If you think white power is a problem in America, blame it on Obama.

Macklemore is a savvy businessman and realized the potential for a song about his uncle being gay during this whole fag rights era. The song blew up and he got himself some grammys and millions more dollars than you or I will see in our lifetimes. Good for him. Haters gonna hate.

I'm not hating. Just stating a fact about your post. Some of you need to learn the difference. That said, didn't he think he was gay in the third grade?
And a point about that song...it's horrible. But people have to say they like it because of the message. The lyrics are fine, but as a song , it sucks dick,,.so to speak..
