“white privilege” is really just another complaint about those who push the concept of class envy or class warfare, within the context of race.
If you were raised by parents that had wealth and taught you to be successful, you have “privilege”. For them it only becomes a bad thing if you are white.
And everybody aspires to acquire that sort of privilege for their progeny to one degree or another. These folks are just envious when others acquire more than they do and look for a “politically incorrect” difference to point out.
Poppycock. They want people to be ashamed for working for high opportunity/civilization/culture, etc.
Back around 1980, I applied for a state job. Was hired and got all the paperwork done and was ready to start the next morning. Got a call at 5 the evening before say they couldn’t hire me because they had to hire a black. That job was listed for many years because not one black applied. So, this cracker was out of a job and no other honkies were allowed to take it. Now, who’s being held down by da man?
“... have the ability … to, um … you know, show emotion and love to their sons without being emasculated.”
What the... Where did that come from and how is loving one’s child even race related? LOL! Bizarre.
I worked in a place where my boss daily/hourly kicked s*&t in my face.
That went on for 15 years! She wanted me to be fired and openly campaigned for it the whole time I worked for her. I am certain no minority female on earth would have tolerated that for 15 minutes.
So-I have to laugh at this kind of thing... where was my white privilege for 15 years? What a joke!
There is “white privilege” My family has it in spades(no pun intended)
Every since we have arrived on American soil(as indentured servants) we have worked, married and had children who obeyed the law
And with the exception of that lil conflict back in 1861, we haven’t had any major problems with the government.
That’s white privilege. It could be just as well as “black privilege”
Or “brown privilege”
Or “Yellow privilege”
Was driving home from work yesterday. In front of me was a late-model Mercedes. Bumper sticker on the car said “Black Lives Matter”. Middle-aged black man driving.
White privilege huh?
All us white people are constantly asking each other, “Can ya hep a whitey out?”
There’s a term in Logic for an assertion that is so vague as to be unprovable (or un-disprovable). “White privilege” is just such an assertion.
Same goes for 'dark' matter.
Maybe she could redefine it as “All Races Besides Black Privilege”. Most Whites (until recently) and Asians of every sort are “privileged” to be born into cultures that demand earned achievement and improved circumstances for each next generation. Black Americans might enjoy the same “privileges” once their underlying culture stops glorifying criminality and self pity, and denigrating self discipline, scholarship, and traditional moral values. The problem isn’t an inferior skin color. It’s a culture mired in self pitying misery, reinforced by a political party that relies on its voters for the maintenance of power and wealth amidst urban squalor and decay.
Simply put...we have “white privilege” because of some demented notion that we have the privilege of being *white*.
Other than God, I don’t know who grants such a “privilege”, and I had very little to do with my skin color at my birth.
What are we supposed to do about it? I know, I know...pay money to those who are NOT white.
It’s a ploy to find hate when there’s nothing else to prove it other than isolated incidents across time.
