What is white privilege? [W:355]

Re: What is white privilege?

We understand black protest. We do not understand them looting/burning/destroying, upon such events.

Even during a massive flood, blacks looted and pillaged at New Orleans after Katrina hit the city.

Guess you missed this.

An 'ANTIFA' Twitter account that called for looting 'white hoods' was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa

Is that because there are more white people?

Well so you think blacks suffer less than whites due to their being a shortage of blacks! I say it as a statement only due to your question.

I want proof.

If only there was a device, where you could input in a question, and there would be 1000's of results that you could then peruse.

If only.

Democrats and the media are powerful proponents of Antifa. And when they commit crimes so frequently it is blessed like Jesus appeared.

I no doubt could also have imputed your own comment but did not. So are you admitting you answered what you were discussing?

That is one account. So if I give you one account, it proves my case for me too?

"White privilege is the automatic, taken-for-granted advantage bestowed upon white people as a result of living in a society based on the premise of white as the human ideal, and that from its founding established white advantage as a matter of law and today as a matter of policy and practice," DiAngelo said. "It doesn't matter if you agree with it, if you want it, if you even are aware of it — it's 24/7/365.

It's only in European countries and their offshoots in Americas and Australasia where being white is preferred as the human ideal. Every nation has some ethnocentric views inherent in its society and there are privileges of the majority, which discriminates against the minority underclass.

The case of a Kurdish man who says he was stopped and shoved to the ground by Tokyo police became a rallying cry for protesters marching in solidarity with Black Lives Matter on Saturday.

Several hundred people chanting “I can’t breathe” to invoke the death of George Floyd in the United States marched through the trendy Shibuya district on a sultry afternoon, saying that police abuse - particularly against foreigners - was a problem at home as well.

“I feel very sad,” said Tomohiko Tsurumi, 43, who joined the march with his wife. “I always thought of this country as very safe and I realized that there is so much (police action) we cannot see.”

It has been pretty well documented, that the protesters during the day, did not riot and loot during the night. I am sure there may have been some, but it looked more like people taking advantage of the chaos.

Can you explain why white people riot and start fires in their hometown after their sports team win a championship?

Re: What is white privilege?

This one? What was white privilege for the cops that got arrested?

Well perhaps one will handle it if not yourself.

Yes actually it did extend to them in the early stages. Evidence can be seen in the grotesque equivocation of the preliminary autopsy report.
It was only when the full horror of the event as caught on multiple cameras and distributed thru social media that America rightly rose up in outrage. an outrage felt around the world, not that any trump supporter would care.

 

[Cramer]

I am reminding, and not originally mind you, that Democrats lie. And lie as if truth is a rattlesnake. Democrats pretend that once they were racist but by golly Johnson taught them so they became republicans to mock Johnson I suppose.

The racist democrats were primarily in the south. What party dominates the south today?

It's only in European countries and their offshoots in Americas and Australasia where being white is preferred as the human ideal. Every nation has some ethnocentric views inherent in its society.

And in those other societies the privilege naturally accrues to the majority. You can bet there is black privilege in Nigeria. And for damn sure there is chinese privilege in china, etc.

Re: What is white privilege?

"White privilege" is a racist af idea. It assigns an attribute to a group of people based on their race. Its damn near the textbook definition of racism.


Its just another attempt by the left to both a) Stifle speech - your voice doesn't matter because you have this attribute and b) reap the racial spoils that identity politics brings.

As with most left wing ideology you simply need to cut through the BS - its always about power and getting other people's money.

Re: What is white privilege?

I think there are racists with every skin color, which alone is indicative of nothing. It's a mindset and social flaw, not a genetic condition.

If that's the case the it isn't "white" privilege.

 

[Robertinfremont]

I see our right wing friends just reinforcing the rightwing screed about black people any wonder why some police act out, and have gotten away with it for years

Democrats put to rest our concerns over whites being murdered by cops and urge us not to do what blacks do and pillage, loot and burn businesses.

It is an inherent cultural condition that unconsciously exists within the societies institutions and processes that favor the majority's predominance.

That is so correct. Read it again forum. This is not about justice for anybody. It is over power to rule your lives as Democrats want to.

So Democracy is bad? What is better? To be ruled by Democrats? No thanks if that is your case.

"White privilege is the automatic, taken-for-granted advantage bestowed upon white people as a result of living in a society based on the premise of white as the human ideal, and that from its founding established white advantage as a matter of law and today as a matter of policy and practice," DiAngelo said. "It doesn't matter if you agree with it, if you want it, if you even are aware of it — it's 24/7/365.

"One of the reasons why it's so hard for white people to see it — well, there are many reasons — but one is it serves us not to see it. We come to feel entitled to that advantage. We're told that we deserve it and that we earned it, and we take great umbrage when that is challenged."

What about white people who say, "I struggle too"?
"I'm really clear that I'm not saying that white people don't struggle or face barriers or work hard, but there's a major barrier in this society, racism, that we don't struggle with and not struggling against that barrier actually helps us navigate the barriers that we do struggle with," DiAngelo said. "You grew up in poverty. How has being white shaped how you experience poverty, and how you get out of poverty if you do get out of poverty? Again, it's not saying that white Americans don't work hard, but it's a bit like being a fish in a current that impacts the outcome of that work. There's a kind of moving along that amplifies that work, and for people of color, for black people, you're swimming against the current. And we're both working, we're both swimming, but there's such a different impact on the outcome of that effort."

What is white privilege? What questions should white Americans be asking? Two academics weigh in - CBS News

White privilege for the vast majority of white people is growing up without an excuse. Those whites who externalize their troubles in life drift to hopelessness, criminality and poverty like people of all skin colors.

If there is one thing you learn about human nature after a decade of social work it is that poverty looks pretty much the same regardless of skin color.

Examples of Systemic Racism in the US Justice System
Although a politically controversial topic, there are overwhelming facts to support the notion that the US justice system is racist especially looking at the targeting and punishing of African-Americans. Looking at data on police stoppings, shootings, drug arrests, bailing process, legal representation, trial, sentencing, jury selection, freedom, and parole, a trend of biasness appears. On drug use, African-Americans constitute 13% of the population and 14% of drug users, but 37% of drug-related arrests and 56% of inmates of crimes relating to drugs.

In New York, colored people make up 50% of the population but Latinos and Blacks make up over 80% of NYPD stops. In fact, in most US cities, Blacks are thrice likely to be arrested than whites. During a trial, African-Americans are more likely to be in prison as they wait for trial than whites and since most may not afford to hire lawyers, underpaid and undermotivated public defenders are more likely to defend such cases. Data from Alabama also indicates that a higher representation in the jury is white, especially in cases involving death penalty whereas US Sentencing Commission reported that blacks tend to receive 10% longer sentences than whites for the same crime. The US Bureau of Justice and Statistics indicated that 32% (one in three) of blacks, 17% of Latinos, and 6% of whites have a chance of being arrested. With a black-juvenile population of 16%, they represent 28% of arrests and 37% of inmates.

Now what happens to black families if one parent is removed and jailed on drug possessions? Minor offenses that is.

75% of Black children are born to single mothers. If the only parent the child knows is jailed are you going to blame systemic racism for her choices?
