Some city girl came here talkin' 'bout white privilege. We shore wish we knew where t' git some o' this white privilege, 'cause it shore sounds right nice.
“White privilege exists, therefore ETFO will have a workshop on it.”
Show up at the union meeting with a battalion of white people and stomp their neo-Nazi nuts into the concrete.
White privilege is being able to find your name on a keychain in the store.
When I was 22 years old, people were all the time jumping from behind bushes offering me a job, just because I was white.
Back in the late 80’s-mid 90’s, I assisted a former NFL player in his forming of an 8A Construction Company.
He was the CEO and I was ‘everything else’ at the start.
We got work and went and subbed it out. He eventually got a few crews going and I remained as his #2, earning a better than ‘decent’ wage and he ‘reaped the profits’ (No problem with me there..his money started Co etc)
He was Black, with a Mother and Father still living, had 7 siblings (6b 1s I think) ALL heavy into athletes all College grads (athletics) he went to a major college in OK, played a few years in NFL, hurt himself and ended up in his ‘home area’ and into the Construction Business.
I, on the other hand, came from a ‘broken family’, quit HS as a Senior, did 8 years in USN, and worked in the ‘trenches’ (granted middle to upper Mgt when I got involved with him).
Every time the ‘white privilege’ subject came up I would point out our ‘lifes journey’ and ask why his children were considered disadvantaged while mine were considered privileged, obviously by nothing more than the color of skin, not status etc etc etc.
That usually ended the conversation (I would more than likely walk away AFTER my reminding him my ‘life choice’ was my life choice and he did work for and earn his, I was referring (for the most part) to the generation that had been bred in 1965 or so by one LBJ.)
