    The comedian, Chris Rock, gave us a simple way to reveal White privilege.
    He said he has never been able to find a White guy who would agree to trade places with him, even though he is rich. Moral of the story: White skin gives inherent advantages and White people know it.

    I'm going to invoke it to pay my internet bill and rent this month, after I get out of my tent, I will head to Micky D's and jump on the free Wi Fi and let you know how it worked out!

    No we dont. Its a made up concept. It conveniently sets up whites as somehow inherently undeserving of success and allows the black community to blame shift. In reality blacks have institutional advantages that many whites dont. Preferential treatment in education, hiring, access to special business loans, housing programs, and the list goes on and on.

    No that's advantage. if you want to pretend to the word privilege somehow means advantage I can play along.
    yes there are advantages to being wealthy. That's why people strive for wealth.
    if you can't look up to somebody because they have a different skin color than you you are racist.

    I agree it is an advantage not to be a racist moron.
    False, being white is just what the majority of people are in the country. If this causes you angst then you are the problem, got the whites or the Jews or whatever scapegoat race you want to blame your inadequacies on.

    Never really realized how close to Nazism this White privilege nonsense really is.
    I tried several times to understand what the hell you were talking about here. But it doesn't make sense.

    No idea what "present a certain way" means. I tried guessing but I'll let you try to explain it.

    I also have no idea what you mean by "society to treat me as if I was on top." What society is treating you this way are you suggesting white people are monarchs. And on top of what.

    Advantages are taken not handed out. Why would anyone in their right mind give up an advantage?

    Nobody does you don't. You just virtue signal about it to claim an advantage among the woke cult. They will view you as enlightened as long as you pretend to agree with their stupidity. You can be a lemming and try to impress your moronic cult. You're not going to shame me into it.

    I wonder if it's because simply an accusation of racism in the workplace could lead to being fired, or otherwise being unemployable. It's like accusing someone of being a witch. You don't have to prove someone's a witch, they have to prove their innocent, and who can do that?

    Privileges are advantages. They’re unfair advantages because they don’t signal anything.

    This reply? White fragility. Simple as that.

    those two things aren't really synonyms.
    life isn't fair.
    so white fragility his definition-less nonsense?

    Somebody caterwauling about life not being fair saying anybody else is fragile is hilariously ironic.

    Life is going to chew you up and spit you out. Brace yourself

    That is what I would think, but Ms Diangelo does not consider that possibility. If you are unfortunate enough to be subjected to her sensitivity training say something like

    "I am a White person in a racist society and am therefore racist. But I struggle daily against my racism and am improving, but I will have to struggle for the rest of my life."

    That will get you of the hook about being fragile.

    White privilege is about more than money. Inherent advantages means white skin helps you in all areas of life.

    if African-Americans get all these advantages, would YOU want to trade places with an African-American?

    You are absolutely correct. Why would any White person give up their privilege? I am so glad I finally met someone honest enough to admit to White privilege. Thank you.

    P.S. I would never try to shame you into anything.

    White privilege: inherent advantages possessed by White people on the basis of their race in a society characterized by racial INEQUALITY and INJUSTICE.

    You must not have read properly. I didn't admit to white privilege.

    Let me reverse the question.

    Would YOU want to trade places with a White American to gain White Privilege.

    And it is obvious you can't debate the issue, debate the issue not the person.
