white privilege, if it exists, is never actually described. it’s just assumed as fact and they move on from there.

but what exactly is this ‘privilege’ they speak of? i’m a white male that grew up outside of boston. if anyone had ‘it’, that would be me.

but when i graduated high school, no one gave me college tuition. no one handed me a $250k/yr job. so where is this ‘privilege’???

the ‘privilege’ would be found upon looking at me.

one glance and you know i’m not a criminal and i don’t do drugs. upon further investigation you’d find out i had worked hard for my degrees and the experience they have brought. if you asked, you’d find i worked 2-3 jobs while going to school to pay for those degrees... i’m not a dead beat expecting others to cover my bill.

is this ‘privilege’ white only? hardly. hell, it doesn’t apply to many whites.

but anyone CAN obtain it.... thru hard work and by leading a clean life.

The “privilege” mostly comes from growing up in a stable two-parent (that’s male and female) home.
