What is white privilege? [W:355]

Yes, those are disadvantages in some cases.
But that doesn't mean disprivileged.

And being female, short, or old play no roles in the legal, police, and judicial system.

Actually it's a big advantage. If they try to give me a ticket I cry, and I just get a warning.

Interestingly, the only people who talk about "shame" or "guilt" when white privilege is brought up are conservatives. People who grasp the concept of white privilege never suggest that white people should feel shame or guilt. That's on you.

Nonsense. The only people who ever talk about feeling ashamed of being white are liberals. Beto, Biden and other Dems did a lot of it during the primary campaign.

They're also heavily into shaming white children, their own and others. This is but one example but dozens could be found.

When the police kill a black man, pogroms occur, even if the actions of the police are recognized as legal. But when the police kill the whites, then nothing happens. It’s far more dangerous for cops to kill blacks than whites. And after the killing of white cops, too, no public reaction.

Post a video of a white person dying as a result of a cop putting his knee on the back of the neck for near 9 minutes.

There are many many more white people in country, so the videos should be more plentiful.

White privilege is not having to take a dog or a child with you when jogging, so people see a dog walker or a father instead of a dangerous black criminal leaving the scene.

I don't know what part of southern England you're in but around here black men can go jogging without dogs or kids.

You don't understand the concept of white privilege.

Can Black cops who pull over blacks have privilege?

Your second paragraph is leftist poppycock meant to disparage those who are politically in power. I don't feel like a victim. It is a phony leftist narrative meant to divide rather than bring people together.

White liberals apologizing for their privilege are making Blacks to be victims because much of this is political, happening right before a presidential election. Blacks are not victims. We had a Black president voted in by the majority, white people.

I will not deny that there are racist people in the world but there are some, like the white leftists who are using race as a tool against their political foes, right now, the majority holding power … Racism will end when parents start to teach their children tolerance.

And my husband and I taught our sons tolerance. Both showed tolerance by protesting with those who seek police reform.

If I commit a crime and am white, I can't use race as an excuse., Black privilidge means blacks get to use race as an excuse for committing crimes.

Floyd did something to have the cops put him onto the pavement. Why hasn't the media told us what that was about?

That is true. When we whites commit crimes, we can't say to the world, it was because we are white. Blacks can use that as their excuse.

Oh it is such a priviledge that I face outrage and public derision by the media and politicians merely because I am a white man. I get hated for being white.

LOL.
I am white. I have never faced outrage and public derision from anyone or anything. I've never felt hated.

If you feel hated, it's not because you're white. There must be another reason.

This white priviledge is how Democrats shift the blame to skin color as opposed to putting the blame on the criminals doing the crimes.
 
Re: What is white privilege?

For many poor people in the world, it is a great privilege to live in America to take every opportunity to improve their lives. Why don't blacks do this in America?

No, it's not meant to "disparage those in power." That feeling of disparagement is coming from yourself.

White people will not be the power majority forever. Not in America and not in the world. Some of them, living a life based on privilege and unaware of their shortcomings, fear that.

My hope is that America can achieve proportional racial wealth and power before time itself forces the issue.

White people are not the majority skin color of the world.

But they do hold most of the worlds money and military arsenols.

See how you ignore black privilege? You assume blacks face it though.

I am hated by Democrats. For being white.

Incorrect. Remember that white guy who was face down and shot by a cop in a hotel hallway even though he cooperated? BLM marched in protest of his death too.

What a terribly wrong comment.
Born white. Live white. For many decades now. I don't feel the least bit ashamed. Never have. Never will.

You must have some issues if you feel ashamed.

But I do recognize being white in a white dominated society and laws made by mostly white males, have given whites, especially males, some advantages.

Doesn't mean I didn't work to get to where I am. I did. Very hard.

So I can see there's white privilege without any guilt. So, don't you feel guilty either. Unless you have a reason for said guilt.

Where did I remotely say I felt ashamed? I didn't, of course. And yes, the entire idea to to foster guilt. It serves no other purpose.

And yet you're the one who brought up "shame" and "guilt." I certainly didn't mention those words. All of that is coming from within yourself.

I read it. Who the hell are you to tell anyone they didn't read the O/P?

You demand I agree with the O/P. I don't.
Free country, friend.

I don't agree with words like white privilege that some wacky white divisive liberal divised to make white people feel badly because of the color of their skin they were born with.

Never will I apologize for being born white to anyone!

The Media has spun this so much since I was a kid that the world is upside down and now being white is suddenly a privilege all due to skin color. When FDR was a bigot and racist, why hell he gave us SS and the new deal. But today that makes us racists.

Suddenly?
Whites owning black people isn't seen as a privilege to you. Suddenly? Wow, you are very emotional.
