Born with a silver spoon and he calls it white privilege.

I do wonder how he explains away to his kids white privilege as he plans out their education, networking and lives to further it.

Sure he is...Doc is right in that it's really rich-privileged.

It must be a sad way to live life to not be proud of your own successes because you don't believe you really earned them.

I don't live that way.

I don't believe Dan should either. He could have taken a much easier path to success than he did. Lots of people broadcast low-minor league games for little money and don't really move beyond that and are forced into other careers.

It's not like he got placed through country club connections to Goldman Sachs.

I think it is an odd thought process for him to have.

Don't be fooled Doc. Dan is very proud of his lineage, his kids and most importantly his own achievements. He simply is choosing to say these things now. He evolves. In a chameleon sort of way.

Im sure MJeff's kids have experienced nothing of the sort. On a much smaller level, does Jarrett Payton get the sports anchor job he has now if he isnt Walter's son ??

Yeah, but could he get from the game to his parents' summer house in Lake Geneva in less than 60 minutes?

agreed. there are times when he is totally oblivious to himself when he has spoken about his culture and religion. no other white group can have a culture nor be nationalistic, because those foundations are 'probably' rooted in racism and other religious groups can be mocked; especially fundamentalist christians - because "they believe in fairy tales".

spot on

i forgot the specifics of it, but i recall one of his favorite things was to yell MOVE at callers... i forgot what that had to do with, was it crime in bad areas or something else? anyways, he hasnt said it in a while.

If you really want to get him going, someone on twitter should respond that he isn't white.

My Filipina sister-in-law was in MX once with her very white husband and were on a bus sort of late at night. So, it was a little sketchy and she whispered to her husband that "we're the only white people on the bus" and he had to remind her that she's not white.

I agree with the spirit of your post, if not the letter. The others in this thread are right, it's more rich privilege than white privilege. However, there's been a growing backlash against unpaid internships in the past handful of years. I think he's simply trying to acknowledge that he's aware of the phenomenon.

Normally, when I think of "rich privilege" it is about people who either have a trust fund that all but guarantees that they never have to earn money themselves and they can build a career without worrying about how much it pays. Good examples are how many actors in Hollywood came from obscene wealth and they could spend 10 years auditioning for roles with no money coming in and living in a nice house because their parents were making up for it. The other is when you are handed the direct business, or enter the same business as your already super successful parents. Good examples would be someone like Steph Curry and soon to be a whole generation of NBA players who were raised from birth to follow in the footsteps of rich NBA players. Obviously, the Ricketts family would be another example. I don't think Bernstein's parents were that rich to say "follow your passions and if you never make a dollar on your own it's alright".

His father had a friend that he knew through a club that hooked him up with an entry level job in sports that most people wouldn't have been able to get.

We used to call that networking. Now it's "white privilege".

The country club crowd made a great hire. Lil danny turned out to be a dominant ratings winning force in a major market for several decades.
