CNN: ‘Beto’ is Dripping With ‘White Male Privilege’
January 18, 2019
CNN has posted an op-ed claiming that Democrat presidential hopeful Robert Francis ‘Beto’ O’Rourke‘s “political identity is predicated on being white and male.”
In “Beto’s excellent adventure drips with white male privilege,” CNN Senior Political Reporter Nia-Malika Henderson wrote, “O’Rourke, tall, handsome, white and male, has this latitude, to be and do anything. His privilege even allows him to turn a loss to the most despised candidate of the cycle into a launching pad for a White House run.”
A black woman like failed Georgia Senate candidate Stacey Abrams “couldn’t do this,” Henderson added.
