Benefiting from white privilege is automatic. Defending white privilege is a choice.

“When black people are protesting in Ferguson and across America, they’re not protesting against white people.”

Seriously, this author is speculating on rational behavior by *rioters*? Are the rioters “protesting” against the shopkeepers whose stores they looted and burned? Are the rioters “protesting” people they attack?

Black people may not be “protesting” white people, but they are certainly “preferentially victimizing” white people.

Well, Sally, I gotta give you credit.

Just when I thought still-breathing members of the species had completely explored the limitations of being stupid and still have a heartbeat, here you go pushing the boundaries of known stupidity another parsec.

Well said.

First, she is a privileged white person so her opinion doesn’t matter.
Second, if privilege is such a bad thing, why do we need to extend more of it to minorities? Wouldn’t that be racist?

Thanks for the long, boring lecture but saying that we whites refuse to recognize our racism while saying that there is virtually no such thing as "playing the race card" is bull shit.

You are right about the segment of the Black Americans that, do I believe you said, are 40 percent of the crime.

You are excusing the problem. Pay attention the the linked article, Lady. It has some pretty good facts.

"Although there is a large disparity between the crime rates of whites and those of African-Americans, any perception that this is based solely on racism quickly evaporates when family structure is considered in the data. When researchers control for marriage, the rates of crime for whites and blacks in each family group are very similar."

It's old data but have things changed much? As I find newer data I prepare them for posting also.

Here are some federal stats.

Uniform Crime Reporting Program Federal Bureau of Investigation November 2003

A race-specific arrest rate refers to the number of arrests per 100,000 inhabitants belonging to a defined race.

The statisticians have updated the race-specific data used in this publication, and therefore, figures may differ slightly from the national averages published in earlier editions of Crime in the United States . The rates represent that portion of the population covered by all agencies that contributed race data for the given offenses. The UCR Program requires that reporting agencies supply the age of arrestees; however, the Program stipulates that the submission of race data is voluntary. Therefore, the population coverage for race statistics is lower than that for age statistics.

AGE-SPECIFIC ARREST RATES AND RACE-SPECIFIC ARREST RATES FOR SELECTED OFFENSES, 1993-2001

A note about these data from "Although there is a large disparity between the crime rates of whites and those of African-Americans, any perception that this is based solely on racism quickly evaporates when family structure is considered in the data. When researchers control for marriage, the rates of crime for whites and blacks in each family group are very similar." Crime Index Age and Race, PAGES 59 and 65

Every so often, when I’m buying something, I ask for my White Privilege discount.

I think it’s an absurd idea, but I have fun with it.

If the author can name one neighborhood that has transitioned from mostly-white to mostly black and seen an overall improvement in living conditions I’d like her to tell me.

It’s not “white privilege”, it’s that whites, by and large, hold themselves and their children to a higher standard. If blacks would try “acting white” and strive for better educations, marriage before child-bearing, and getting to sleep at night instead of roaming the streets they’d be a whole lot better off.

And I’ve said it before that blacks that are angry that they’re viewed in a less-than-positive light need only to teach the next generation that it’s 100% unacceptable to commit crimes and be violent. If blacks suddenly became the most law-abiding group in America, everyone else would quickly recognize it and have a far better overall view toward them. But being their own worst enemy isn’t helping anyone, regardless of any perceived privilege of any other group.

White Privilege is a racist term, intended to oppress the soon-to-be White Minority.

DON'T BE A RACIST!

Someone should make a satirical video called “White Privilege: What really happens when Black Folks are not looking” about how all our grades in school are “A” and we pay for nothing, we can run stop lights, etc...

I want this douchebag to go for a walk around the streets of downtown Ferguson tonight and see what white privilege gets her. Ferguson = a thug killed by a cop in self defense and a bunch of hood rats lying about the thug being shot in the back. The only thing whites need to know is to stay away from thugs and hood rats.
