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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
