I would say that privilege is when a certain race gets to get jobs based on their color, get promotions based on their color, get loans with a cheaper interest rate based on color.
Oh wait that is black privilege with their racial quotas, and affirmative action crap.
I am thankful my parents worked their whole lives to provide for their family, stayed together, pushed us kids to do well in school, kept us out of trouble, and gave us good, moral, Christian examples their entire lives.
I acknowledge it.
Now the #BLM folks themselves need to acknowledge this is the path to righteousness - will they do that??
Curse? BS. How else would I have my house, car/truck, retirement check, groceries etc. Oh, you mean working for the same company of 36+ years might have had a little to do with it? Oh, okay. Guess I’m a racis’ privileged person then.
For a change, I actually don’t have a problem with many of the arguments here....
“If you are a white person in America, you were born privileged. Thats just a fact.”
and
“It just means that you have a head start over the rest of us.”
I would argue that EVERYONE born in America was bon privileged. And if white people had a head start, then something must be fundamentally wrong with the system that we’ve been operating with for over half a century.....
The Great Society.
I missed it. I never had any.
How about a gofundme account for victims of makeup oppression?
I bet they dont have this oppression in the Congo
“White Privilege” is a myth manufactured to rationalize minority dysfunction. The only white privilege is a work ethic and father in the home.
The authoress of this bilge appears to be someone with black privilege.
Last May I visited a nearby college to attend a high school graduation. After it was over, I passed through the student center, and the place was crowded with black students having a high heel time. I went into the adjoining cafeteria to get something to eat, and the place was crowded with white students studying for finals.
In about ten years, the black students who were not studying will be complaining about white privilege.
Feel almost dirty going all "raciss" but fighting fire with fire is the only way to approach it as Blacks in good positions lament how underprivileged they are.
IS that the reason why the gal in my office works so hard to make her kinky hair straight?
Is there confusion here??
Its a crazy world like whites sunbathing to get as dark as they can.....
Racis!!!
Freegards!
HAPPY EASTER - He broke our chains!!!
I thought about my white privilege for 15 years while my boss kicked the s^%t in my face daily (hourly)!
No minority on earth would have tolerated that for 5 minutes...but is was OK for her to do that to me... I guess.
He needs to come up with a better excuse for the black on black hang violence in Chitown.
poor blacks...and yes I understand how they would all be rushing back to Nigeria or Ghana to feast on the great African culture there....
Hasn’t affirmative action tilted the balance against white people in some areas?
For example, I have often had to deal with governmental offices in San Diego. And I have seldom encountered any white men working in such offices.
Anecdotal evidence is that proportionally few white men work for the post office e, at least in my area.
We can all share anecdotes about these matters.
This writer should investigate why, after decades of affirmative action, after decades of having smashed down the barriers of discrimination which once existed, why it is, that critical masses of her own black community are still grappling with poverty and related issues in their lives.
Go to South Africa today if you really want to see white privilege first hand.
The myth of black liability is reinforced by every event, if near or far, every glance or gesture by a white person, while anything that might disprove (like black persons actually succeeding) it is dismissed as spurious.
People do not suffer vicariously, mere entities (abstractions of persons) do not have the capacity to experience suffering at all ... the beliefs behind white privilege / black liability ... it’s all bullocks.
Frankly, I do not care about these rants on privilege because of skin color. It isn’t my job to care. I will not waste my limited time or effort caring. I’d rather laugh at folks for believing such foolishness than cry with the PCdiots.
If someone can’t be happy without feeling the world is out to get them because of something like the color of their skin, or that they’re somehow guilty because of the color of their skin, then I hope they can be happily miserable all the live long day and rot and simmer in it. Screw them.
OK, so how did this privilege come about? Could it be that we are just a little BETTER than you? (Is the < /sarc > tag needed?)
The elitist black man tells the poor white working class kid that the child is the one with the unfair advantage.
And the bigoted black man has both the platform do this, the social status to have his opinion given weight, and extra privileges from school admissions to hiring.
Liberal bigots are lying about whites having privilege today to justify discrimination against them now.
If you say someone is unfairly advantaged, then in the name of “equity”, you have to tear them down.
That is how liberals’ “equity” argument really means “we need to invert the social pyramid of the 1940s to make things fair today”.
