David Hogg: We Need To Use Our "White Privilege" To Make Sure Black Gun Victims Are Heard
Real Clear Politics, Mar 19, 2018, Ian Schwartz

At a Twitter live stream event held Monday, Parkland High School shooting survivor David Hogg said he will use his "white privilege" to make sure that other non-white victims of gun violence can be heard.

 Hogg lamented that if a similar event happened in a "lower socio-economic" place "like a black community" that the media would not give it the coverage like he and his fellow students have received "no matter how well those people spoke."

 "I think one of the greatest obstacles that we've faced though with this movement is the fact that there is a lot of racial disparity in the way that this is covered," Hogg said. "If this happened in a place of a lower socio-economic status or a place where like a black community, no matter how well those people spoke, I don't think the media would cover it the same and I think it is important that we point that out as Americans we realize that."

 "Because we have to use our white privilege now to make sure that all of the voices that -- all of the people that have died as the result of this and haven't been covered the same can now be heard. It's sad, but it's true," Hogg said.

I'm rather looking forward to Davy attending his first BLM protest.

So go lecture your mommy and your other enablers at CNN, Hogg. White privilege notwithstanding, I have absolutely no authority nor power to make the news media pay attention to the black-on-black slaughter in America's inner cities.

Micah Xavier Johnson did just that, during a BLM rally in Dallas, not that long ago.  It was all over the news.  I guess it’s OK, since he used an Izmash Saiga 5.45 and not the evil AR-15.  Idiot kid.

He should take a trip back to the early 90s and listen to the glorification of drugs and violence coming from the music of the time in that segment of society.  Listening to Cypress Hill’s Black Sunday might put this snowflake in a coma.

My, this little leftist is well trained.

He needs to check his privilege and quit whitesplaining for others. African Americans overwhelmingly support 2nd Amendment rights.

LOL. From the Sunday morning shows to some irrelevant Twit feed nonsense. Looks like Hoggs 15 minutes are up. Sucks to be him.

Brilliant response!

My, this little leftist is well trained.

Yup. From school shootings to the full repertoire in one easy leap.

Davy, You mind if we dance with your dates....

My, this little leftist is well trained.

Interesting isn't it? So much for spontaneous grassroots, more like manufactured astroturf that magically gets propped up as spokesman and leader.

It's like a "Leftist Talking Points" version of the old "Corporate Bingo" game.
