If the White people in my life could hit a button and instantly remove the privileges afforded to them along racial lines, would they hit that button

The loss of the charmed life associated with being a White person in America.


This charmed white person is heading out to the farm as I have done for the last 45 years in order to feed America. What are you going to do today Mr Smoot other than whine?

Really? What does that mean? Do black people want to be an ally to whites? If by ally you mean we must destroy this nation and whites need to get on their knees you can go F yourself.

Where are Black people treated better than in the United States?

Not in Africa, not in Asia, not in Europe, not in South America.

Where?

This is a stupid idea, comparing the United States against some fantasy Utopia.

I’ve worked hard for everything I have in life. No one gave me anything, especially because I’m white. Go pound sand.

They never explain what those privileges would be.

Ok, I admit there is one, being able to get a personalized keychain with your first name on it at the store, but outside of that.....

Exactly. In Europe, they still throw bananas onto the pitch at soccer games at black players, even players on the team the fans support.

...the privileges afforded to them along racial lines.

I needed to go no further than this. The author is clearly a racist and a bigot and has no clue what it means to be “White in America”. The writer is merely relying on hearsay, innuendo, and stereotypes.

Everybody is different, and everybody has their own unique challenges.

It appears to me that White Americans are already being sacrificed, living or dead.

As protests erupted around the nation, in the wake of additional incidences of state sanctioned violence towards Black Americans,

i stopped there... show me the state sanctioned violence... i am told that there are indictments handed down for the acts of violence against blacks, but i have not seen any for the white victims of violence.

hmmm.

Are White people ready for the sacrifice? Are they ready for communism?

Virtue signalling pansies and probably liars too.

What do white people gain from being an ally of black people?

Neither my family nor I got 40 acres of land and a mule. Neither my family nor I received any welfare.

So much for white privilege.

What are those special aspects?

1) If it’s about having babies without marriage, well I did that by keeping my pants zipped shut to every woman but my wife.

2) If it’s about drugs, well the only thing I did do that was really stupid was smoke pot once when I was younger and I don’t do it now. I didn’t do cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, or other really hard drugs. I also don’t get drunk. This leads back to the fact that the generation before me did number 1 to an extent as well.

If White America actually believes this, they will love it when a Charles Taylor type is elected President here.

A lot of the white privilege comes from proper behavior. I would gladly recommend people do what I do, but I can’t and won’t force people to do what I did.

I believe that is pretty close to what they mean. 👎

It’s not about skin color it’s about Culture. They also attack blacks that “act white”.

Ditto.
