Why Is Noone Talking About Bill Clinton's White Male Privilege?

Does white male privilege only apply to some privileged white males?

Why Is Noone Talking About Bill Clinton's White Male Privilege?

I constantly come across friends that have shared articles or pictures about the Brock Turner case. Everyone is outraged by his light sentencing and early release. He raped a fully unconscious woman and served three months. We should definitely be upset and outraged by this. We also need to ask ourselves, “how did this happen?” Well, Brock Turner got a slap-on-the-wrist sentence because he has white male privilege.

White male privilege has become the buzzphrase on every hipster tweeter and feminist’s lips. What I haven’t heard from any of these people is their outrage over Bill Clinton’s rape accusers.

Bill Clinton’s rape accusers were asked if they’ve gotten the same media attention as Trump’s. Their answers were very telling.

Broaddrick responded while the others shook their heads in agreement:

“Oh, definitely not.”

Jones added:

“No, no, nobody's asked [to hear their stories].”

The media continues to ignore Bill Clinton's rape accusers. The media is also remaining silent about his 26 trips riding the “Lolita Express” to “Orgy Island” with under aged girls and registered sex offender, Jeffery Epstein.

But, wait? Hispter tweeters and feminists are saying “Bill Clinton isn’t the one running for President.”

So, we just pretend his victims don’t exist, and that their accusations don’t matter?

Who exemplifies the true definition of white male privilege more in this case than the former President of the United States?

I am a woman who recognizes that white male privilege exists and I am frustrated beyond belief that people continue to pick and choose which white male privilege outrages them.

You are ignorant if you choose to ignore Bill Clinton’s rape accusations.

The sources are there, the rape victims are there and we need to be outraged about this.

Hillary Clinton has gone out of her way to shame Bill’s accusers. Yet, Hillary Clinton will also be the first one to tell you about the unfair advantages of white male privilege in America. The hypocrisy in America is reaching it’s boiling point. We need to consider what the media is telling, but also what they aren’t telling us.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
