What Exactly is White Privilege?
I work over 40 hrs a week, drive a 10 year old 2 wheel drive chevy pickup. My computer is 3 years old, my TV is like 20. I scrimp and save to buy stuff. My big thrill was getting a Blackberry.
I look out my window and see Home Boys who are like 25 driving Caddys, Talking on smart phone and wearing enough gold crap to make the Vatican jealous. And this is at 11 AM on a weekday.
So...where is my privilege?

If you're like me, your White Privilege is in working in excess of 40, 50 and occasionally 60 hours per week, driving 12 year old POC GMC SUV, who does NOT have a "smartphone" I have a basic phone that I load minutes onto when I need them, and for the "privilege" of working 40-60 hour work weeks, I pay almost 60 cents of every dollar I make in some form of tax (Federal taxes, state income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes and any other damn' tax the government can think to throw at me and make me pay.)

I get my ass out of bed every day to go to work. I have neuropathy in both feet (no feeling in my feet) a bad back after 4 major back surgeries, a slight double-vision, I'm 52 and my health is failing. That's "White Privilege."

Now, let's define what BLACK PRIVILEGE is, shall we?

They're the lay-around-at-home making babies to get more government checks, more government benefits, more Obama Phones, more food stamps, more free housing, more free utility assistance, free government grants to go to college that go to waste and more "free" benefits that you and I have been working our asses of to pay for, and the lazy good for nothing government moochers have been doing it for 3-4 generations now.

Really, where is my "white privilege?"

I've got a 17 year old planning to head off to college next year. Government says I make too much for him to qualify for ANY financial grants. I make too much? How about the thieving bastards in the Government TAKE TOO MUCH. Where's my kids "free rides" for their college tuition?? "White privilege" ... no, it's black privilege. They're getting everything and we're paying for it. Makes me sick that I get up every day and go to work.

Wonder the same. I’ve had times of feast and famine, some of it due to economic factors and the rest good or bad me. It sickens me too about the people you see that I also see.

You weren’t forced into a gang
You didn’t have to walk home with pimps and gansta’s on every corner
You probably had a mom and a dad
...etc.

see how that works? By others taking no responsibility for their actions mean you had an unfair advantage - all while just being “normal”. It is an absolutely twisted thought process, you’d have to be a liberal to believe it. Of course, liberals are so “open minded” that they accept it, it’s a “nuanced” opinion. If I ever get confronted with this I let them know how racist it is.
