![]() Tags: prejudice/discrimination, race/ethnicity, color-blindness, color-blind racism, comedy, white privilege, 00 to 05 mins Year: 2008 Length: 2:30 Access: YouTube Summary: In this clip from his show "Chewed Up," comedian Louis C.K. examines white privilege (including his own white privilege). One of the benefits of whiteness he explores is his ability to travel to any time period in history and know that, regardless of the historical era, he would be advantaged. He also examines the potential disadvantages of future retribution. I like to use this clip to introduce the concept of white privilege to students through the use of comedy, a particularly useful approach given many students' initial resistance to the concept. Given the fact that whiteness has been so consistently privileged over such a long period of time, the clip can highlight for students the multi-generational privileges that accumulate over time from being white. While the clip may not explain present-day advantages of being white, students and instructors can critically approach Louis C.K.'s suggestion that "anything before 1980" would be a difficult time for non-white people. Does white privilege go away after 1980? Or might we see more covert, but no less destructive, racial oppression and privilege? These questions can segue into a conversation of color blindness, an ideology that, perhaps ironically, Louis C.K.'s claim about 1980 and racial oppression might inadvertently feed into. This clip contributes to The Sociological Cinema's growing collection of comedy clips that are useful for illustrating sociological concepts. Submitted By: Kendra Barber

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him
