What is white privilege? [W:355]

Re: What is white privilege?

There's some racist bs in this thread, and everyone can see the handful of members it's coming from. The tiki torches.

I'm still waiting for you to seriously take up any of the comments challenging various aspects of your claims. Instead of doing that, you revert to calling people racists. That's incredibly weak intellectually yet you persist in it. I can only assume you are unequipped to handle anything contrary to your position.

Re: What is white privilege?

keep drinking the koolaid. Get back to me when you have a concrete argument and not just partisan bumperstickers.

I point the fickle finger of fate where it belongs Jonsa. Democrats lead the parade in injustices to blacks. And they deny it. They actually lie about it.

You misunderstand. The personal attacks made and then supported by your little cabal of bigotry, X Factor, Veritas and yourself, only serves to illustrate the ignorant herd mentality employed by bigoted positions.

Re: What is white privilege?

You make it sound like white people are immune to racism. As it happens I think the political left always plays the racist card when the real inequality is caused by culture and the luck (good or bad) of being born in a particular time and space.99% of the population are not racist unless you believe ecofarm in which case anyone not black is racist.

I thought this was about white privilege?

It is is placed by culture. Luck has nothing to do with anything.

It's not luck that my family was so large and poor and white we needed food stamps(back in the day) vs say a 1%er that has most everything then need at birth. Just the circumstances one is dealt into.

Re: What is white privilege?

Did I say they still exist today? Nope, I did not.

We have AA to address any that would exist. Just because laws have been updated, doesn't mean the minds of all humans have been updated.

It is systemic. It's been ingrained since the founding days. It takes generations and generations to remove.

I know you don't believe it. That's ok. There are all types of people.

Cost of Systemic Racism in the US
Because white people enjoy political, social, economic, and cultural power, they have certain privileges not available to People of Color (POC) as a. A majority of the white population also oppose US diversity programs within the education and employment sectors and often claim this is reverse racism. Slogans such as “Black Lives Matter” do not go unanswered as some members of the white population usually respond with slogans like “all lives matter” or “blue lives matter” without a background reason for the slogans. Systemic racism has repercussions for POC especially blacks which include; shorter lifespans, lesser income and wealth, limited access to quality education, limited political participation, inferiority complex and state-sanctioned killings by security organs among others. Worse still, whites still expect POC to carry the burden of proving racism even though whites contribute most to the vice. Upon providing proof, POC still have to bear the backlash of more accusations and excuses that follow.

Don't pretend that you have the authority to tell me what I believe.
I never denied that racism does not exist.
I asked you to explain what still exists! Taking the context of your written words into consideration, I asked if the rules made by white men still exist today. Do they or don't they?

Don't give me a dictionary definition, the "cost of systemic racism" invective and think it gets you off the hook.
Use your own words.

Show me even one instance of me calling anyone in this thread racist.

Re: What is white privilege?

They do not wake up thinking that but once they go to work, many look down on Black workers as not being as effective or as good as White ones. It is not a thinking process but an automatic one from believing that White is the primary color in the Universe.

Those who use their minds and look rather than feel, soon teach themselves that is not the case but those that don't think (just feel), it happens more often than not. Part of it is normal as most people think the world revolves around them anyhow no matter what color they are but when you look at the history of the world, Whites have been in control of the world a lot more than Blacks and that filters into people's hearts from childhood.

I just don't buy that mate. Sometimes people make an initial judgement about someone based on what they look like (black, fat, female, ginger...whatever) but that initial judgement is dropped once you actually mix with them.

I like how all the members holding the racist position have taken to personal attacks against me.

It illustrates my point.

Re: What is white privilege?

People talk about white privilege but forget that white people dominated manufacturing jobs and corporate America happily shipped those jobs to China. So is there a chinese privilege now??

YES. And it has nothing to do with american jobs going to china. There's black privilege in Nigeria. There's Jewish privilege in Israel. There's Muslim privilege in Saudi Arabia.

Its an unconscious cultural bias regardless of which culture.

Post #52. Many more such stories can be found if you just look around, although Google tries to bury them as much as possible.

Aw, the old google claim. proof?
But I'll look at #52.

People attacked your posts and not you and furthermore, you know it.

The statement above shows that you haven't the ability or the want to debate such sensitive issues such as race.

This is absolute truth. He’s a detriment to any real conversation about race and it’s because it’s not conversation he wants, it’s complete agreement. Anything else is racist.

Re: What is white privilege?

I want to ask аmericans - and who is more difficult in the USA - for children from white low-income families or children from black low-income families? to which of them does the state provide benefits?

The white kids will have no Affirmative Action jobs available to them.

That puts them at a disadvantage.

Solve this for me. Is this how you have operated for your entire life or much of it? When you see black, do you see inferior?

Some of this reminds me of why whores make up excuses that they do it for the public good of the men. That the wives are not putting out for the men so they must have whores.

Re: What is white privilege?

I am waiting for the simple question to get asked about Floyd, why did the cops arrest and hold him to the pavement? What did he do. So far the media fails to ask about his acts.

They put him on the pavement and killed him because he said he was claustrophobic and couldn't breathe, in the back of their cop car. They dragged him out onto the floor and knelt on him to see if it helped. It didn't.

I'm white and from a poor background (in British terms), I've had no white privilege . It was pure chance that I was born into a poor working class community...I don't blame other races for it, that would be illogical. In the same way a man or women born into a poor black community can't just accuse white people of causing that situation for them ...their community caused it , the same as mine caused my relative poverty.

Why would anyone want to drive you away? You drive yourself away when you can't debate the thread topic without making it personal.

I am not talking about racism.
I am talking white privilege. As the OP mentions.

Trust me, I have no intention of pretending anything about your thoughts. I have no interest in such thing.

I answered you on if they exist today. I am not aware of any. That's why I never ever mentioned they exist today.
You are trying to put words into my mouth.
Stop it.

Same question. Also, why is it so important to deny that things like racism and white privilege exist?

One reason I don't buy the issue of white privilege because it puts those like yourself, born into a poor working class, at a huge disadvantage.
In the US, the apologizing white privileged left turn the blind eye to this fact.

Re: What is white privilege?

It’s a way, currently, to defend the indefensible.

Oppose looting and vandalism? That’s your white privilege.
Like this country, or, at least, fail to hate it? White privilege.
Believe law enforcement to be generally good and necessary? White privilege.

Don't think you have white privilege? White privilege.
