Discussion of Holocaust Victim Anne Frank's 'White Privilege' Has Begun
[RedState] Just when you thought things in our society can’t get dumber, the woke left set their beers down and somehow manage to top themselves. OK, no one actually thought things couldn’t get dumber, but you get the idea.

Anne Frank, a victim of the Holocaust and whose diary has had a profound impact on millions of lives, is now being accused of having possessed "white privilege." Yes, a maiden of tender years who was killed in one of Hiter’s death camps was apparently part of the oppressive class because she had white skin and her dad owned a business.

This wasn’t just a fringe thing either. It actually trended on Twitter and caught the attention of TMZ.

The idea that Anne Frank was a recipient of "white privilege" is so insane as to seem like parody, but I can assure you that the left is full of people who think like this. In fact, you may recall "The View"s Whoopi Goldberg making the same argument some months ago, arguing that Hitler wasn’t racist because the Holocaust was "white people doing it to white people." She later tried to insinuate that the Holocaust wasn’t equivalent to historical racism against black people because Jews could hide behind the fact that they were white.
So could all the Blacks who passed as white in America over the centuries.
The toxicity of woke intersectionality truly knows no bounds. The idea of generic racial "privilege" has always been stupid. Aspects of privilege span all races and are highly dependent on each individual’s personal situation. Yes, the color of one’s skin could be a factor, but there are dozens of other factors that are rarely considered and are often far more important in modern society.

Returning to Anne Frank, she was a Jewish child who lived in a time when her people were seen as subhuman, and they were subject to extermination by evil men. How shallow and sad must one’s life be to try to claim she was "privileged" in order to make themselves seem like more of a victim? And in almost every case, those who stoop to such idiocy are themselves highly privileged, whether they want to admit it or not.

Antisemitism is alive and well in our society, and it should be shunned and mocked. Unfortunately, the woke left making victimhood into a currency is only exasperating exacerbating it.
...a common error, but unseemly in one making a living by writing.

Similar to anyone living outside Beltlandia, right ?

#5 The diary of Anna Frank was promoted as a “holocaust memoir”, is a postwar fabrication which contained parts of the young Anne’s diary with extensive alterations added by her father. Otto Frank, the father of Anne Frank made millions out of the death of her daughter. This is a disgusting display of macabre type of money making, thus by doing so he shows no respect for her daughter or her memory, while non-Jews are supposed to cry out for the faked, fantasized story this bastard man made us believe was true.

You're a bastard

#10 All that time and effort he put into his "legend." Now he has to come back with a different nym and he can't recycle any of his bushwa about where he lives or how many languages he speaks.

Maybe he will tell everyone about his advanced degrees and wight lifting records next time around...

#14 I'm fast reaching the point where hearing the words "White privilege" needs to be met with my 22 oz rock hammer to their teeth.
