Is White Privilege really a thing? <<Moderator Warning>>

Yes it is. it's sorta like "first world problems", when people complain about **** that is really meaningless while those outside the majority have real issues.

However, it;s turn into something somewhat unfair. Now, any complaint made by a white person, regardless of whether or not it's an legitimate issue, is treated as if it doesn't matter. It's gotten to the point where if two people, one white, and one a member of a minority, complain about the same issue, under the same circumstances,, only the member of the minority is treated as if they have an actual problem that needs solved, The white person will be treated as if all their problem do not matter because of their race.

 

The Left, at least thinks they are gaining traction calling anyone, including POCs, "White Supremacists". Even the charge, "racist" will be met with denials rather than, "I don't care what you call me".

Does remind me some of, I think it was Biden that said, "white people don't know what it's like to be poor"".

 

Minorities can apply for (and attend) Harvard and Yale, and get credit.

"Inferiority" based on race or gender is something the left is trying to keep alive as part of their identity politics strategy, while the rest of us roll our eyes at such antiquated, racist, and sexist thinking.

I'm a college educated female business owner. Tell me again how I'm inferior for being a woman, or privileged to be white?

Affirmative Action implies some races and sexes can't compete on a level playing field. Talk about racist and sexist.....

 

I grew up on the north side of Youngstown, Ohio. The blacks outnumbered the whites in our school 6 to 1. By the time I turned 19, I had been shot twice, stabbed three times and hit in the face with a baseball bat - and those are just the major injuries recounted from innumerable fights. Absolutely everyone one of those encounters were initiated by blacks because I was white "in their neighborhood" even though I lived there too. None of those people did any of that to me because they are black; they did it because I am white. They didn't do it because of their race; they did it because of my race. They did it because they're racists.

Let me tell you about "white privilege" in Ohio. We white people, here in Ohio, don't take well to racists. We have a well documented history of killing racists, burning down their cities and emancipating their slaves. Now, whether one attributes to race or racism that which is not attributable to race or racism, that one is a racist, and that one is going to have a problem with our brand of "white privilege" here in Ohio.

 

Calling a white person a racist is as close as you can come to an equivalent of the N word, but even that is losing it's cache. It's been thrown around so much it's becoming meaningless and that's bound to continue as the media narrative hammers out this 1619 story up to the election. By the time we get to election day, white supremacist will be worn out as well.

 

That’s why the SPLC lists them as a hate group.If you think they have the same power as over 1000 white hate groups then you should educate yourself

 

white male gives you a head start and has for generations.Now that white men have to give the same privileges they enjoyed they are pissed about it. It’s called leveling the playing field

 

No it hasn’t lost its cachet and it isn’t meaningless. What it has done is United racists...But to most good people it has raised consciousness and awareness
I laugh because I heard the same stupid rhetoric as a feminist how the word misogyny is being thrown around too much and that male chauvinism will be worn out.....and we ignored the whiners and got what we wanted.

 

Well what can I say? Keep on calling people who disagree racists and mysogynists. I'm sure it beats discussion.

 

You had a terrible experience and there is one difference. You could leave Youngstown and be looked at the same way as any other white person. What you experienced unfortunately is what black people experience all the time. You could hail a cab in New York City or Washington DC and get picked up without question while a black person can’t very often. My teacher colleagues used to ask me to hail a cab for them after school because they wouldn’t get picked up because of their black skin.You could leave Youngstown and know you could live anywhere that you could afford, black people didn’t have that option. Thankfully that is changing

 

You know kind of like every single brown person NEVER has to think of their race in their home countries and just take it for granted. Japanese, Korean, Nigerian, Somalian, Iranian, etc... none of these people have to think about their race for a single second. But in every single white majority country in the world (save Russia and Eastern Europe), whites must admit that they are oppressors, they are the bad people and the brown people are the virtuous victims. Whites are demonized as the bad people at the same time as they see their countries' demographics shift as the biggest mass migration in human history moves 3rd world populations from their brown utopias to white hell worlds. It is immoral for whites to take the race of their country for granted, for every other race on earth it is not.

Can you imagine an England where the majority of the population is not ethnic English, a Germany where the majority population is not ethnic German? These are civilizations of people who have lived there for millennia and we are watching them become minorities in their own homelands. This is not happening in brown countries. They are keeping their ethnic identities while European states are erasing theirs.

This is all down to the meddling of elites for financial gain.... trillions of dollars of financial gain. It will end badly, incredibly badly.

Bottom line, if it is immoral to replace the Nigerian population in Nigeria with ethnic Russians, it is every bit as immoral to replace native English in England with Pakistanis. If colonization is bad when whites do it, it is just as bad when other races do it. More importantly it displays either the elites' gross ignorance of world history OR their unprecedented hubris. There is no third option.

Never dare to speak of white privilege when not a single white Western nation on earth is allowed to protect it's native white population from replacement via mass migration. It is a sick joke and a lie. Your grandchildren will understand this if the West becomes an Islamic caliphate or Socialist backwater and they will curse you for letting it happen.

 

We are talking about our country and we are talking about white male privilege in the United States so don’t go off on the rest of the world
If you want to make those countries your role model then do so

 

Yes whites were privileged to be drafted and go die in wars for hundreds of years. White men were privileged to work themselves to death to support white women. And to pay taxes and to be enslaved by press gangs for navy ships. And on and on.

Attacking the messenger is perfectly valid when the messenger has greater entitlement and privilege than white men and is a bigot. Such as Peggy McIntosh.

Men have always had as much to fear in being attacked as women. In fact more since men are far more likely to be victim of violent crime.

White men had no greater or lesser chance of getting picked up by a cab as women or minorities. That example you used is a delusion you dreamed up out of thin air and have tried before.

Racism and sexism exists in every country as does bigotry such as the misandry you reveal.

Today the systemic racism and sexism is directed at white men. And you defend it.

White privilege is a proven myth.

 

Wrong.

White privilege is a fabricated myth. Those pointing that fact out are correct

 

Yes it is.

That is fact no sarcasm

 

It is myth and insisting it is real is racist

 

That does not equal the modern notion of privilege and women were never viewed as inferior

 

No it's not a real thing.

 

Ive been around a whole lot of black, brown, and asian people, and I've never seen any of them get treated any different than white people. The only cases of racism I ever see are on the news, and when it happens, it gets so hammered to death that you would swear racism and white privilege is everywhere. Maybe in the 60s. That **** has been dead and gone for a while now. Get over it.

 

Sure, it’s real. How do you think Trump get elected? A collective whine from those fearful of losing it.

 

He got elected because the dems put up the worst candidate imaginable, and Trump was the lesser of two evils.

 

Why wouldn't it be? The implication whites can't be equally offended is racist...

 

I grew up in the 1950's in a family of five in a 1100 sq/ft house, I was in the middle so always was the one having to share a bedroom with a brother, wore hand me down clothes, we only had A/C in one room for about 6 years. My father was trying to start and build a business and sometimes there wasn't a paycheck at the end of the month. My mother once tried to pass powdered milk on us to try and make ends meet.

 

When I was a Junior in high school about to start my 4th year as a Senior the judge ordered me to another school as even though we were fully integrated by that time there weren't "enough" blacks at my middle/upper class high school. They bused in blacks from a neighboring high crime black town and it was a disaster. LOTS of the white kids that were left were getting attacking and robbed and groped. Lot's had to leave the school and enroll in night school or private schools which propped up because they were being run out. Had they just left it with neighborhood schools integration would have continued to develop on it's own and everyone was friends and buddies and got along just fine.
