Being White

This is a bit by one of my favorite comedians, Louis C.K. He's a very cynical comedian, which turns off some people, but I personally love it. Through his comedy he points out major flaws in our world, sometimes aggressively, but other times in a benign fashion. In this particular premise, Louis CK goes where very few comedians go, and explains the innate advantages of being white. "I'm white, middle-class, and male...You really can't say much to hurt my feelings!" This is something so true, but very rarely spoken of. Whites have dominated western society for centuries, and they (myself included) have never really dealt with racial problems. I walk through life everyday without any fear of discrimination, this is a notion that other people in our society cannot enjoy, and I really can't understand them. I would probably sign up for white male again too if I had the choice, and I don't think that's a bad thing to say. CK's point towards the end is absolutely hilarious/scary and could actually hold some truth. Will whites ever become the dominated race? Is it OUR turn, so it speak? Well, along with him, I'm going to ride it all the way down...
