Is White Privilege Real?

[glassjester]

What are the specific privileges one is given by simply being white, in present-day America?

Are there any at all?

And who, specifically, is giving those privileges to white people?

 

[quip]

Other white people.

 

[glassjester]

Other white people.

What privilege(s)?

 

[quip]

What privilege(s)?

They're privileged by virtue of being born the same race as the predominate power structure.

Privileged? Not any more. Even the liberal whites are hating white people. They're kinda like the gender confused, only they're confused about their own color. (Maybe that's why the feminists are all wanting to wear the Muslim garb. They might be lucky enough to pass as colored. :idunno:

Can't even single one out?

 

[The Berean]

This is white privilege. :think:

Is White Privilege Real?

No.

It's simply being a non-black, non-Jew-,non-woman succeeding in something lain:

God forbid a white guy does something besides die spontaneously on a sidewalk.



That was very bigoted of me- let me go beat myself to death with a cane for even insinuating that I'm not Hitler and the damn rest of humankind aren't all little bunny rabbits being skinned alive with notched blades.







I will literally punch a liberal in the face- I've had it with them

 

[glassjester]

No.

It's simply being a non-black, non-Jew-,non-woman succeeding in something lain:

White women don't have white privilege?

 

[glassjester]

This is white privilege. :think:

It's also fiction.

So are you saying white privilege is fictional?

 

[glassjester]

Maybe that's why the feminists are all wanting to wear the Muslim garb. They might be lucky enough to pass as colored. :idunno:

Definitely a confused crowd...
Islam as a symbol of feminism... :hammer:

 

[The Berean]

It's also fiction.

That's your interpretation of the video? The video is a humorous, satirical commentary on white privilege.

Black privilege is very real in S. Africa. I hope all Leftists move there to enjoy it before the 2nd U.S. Civil War, now underway, gets too hot for them.

Why shouldn't privilege exist for a generally homogeneous people who designed, built and successfully run a nation that works? Kind of like Paul'a analogy of the Olive Tree, anyone who wants to abide by the system and its rules may freely share that privilege and may succeed as much if not more than most white people. Not sure why anyone would have a problem with that.

Oh wait, I do know.

It's the people of any color who want to sponge off of the rest, or flout the rules, or want to destroy the system, that complain the most. They are the ones who are not welcome.

So name one privilege I've been granted just for being white.

As a white individual, you're born into a system whilst granted birthright advantages of which you've completely taken for granted, you've never had to consider life without it.

You're born into a world where:

Corporate America, politics/government, media, judicial system, police (local, state, federal) are disproportionately controlled by white interests. In a country founded by rich white men some of which owned minorities as slaves.

Minorities, on the other hand, hold a incomparable perspective....one of being on the outside looking in.

The fact that whites fail to recognize any existing privilege is a symptom of a prosaic take, by way of the very privilege itself.

Its funny when you pretend to not be racist.

Never having your right to exist questioned comes to mind.
