Tiger Woods just got that deer in the head light look when reading your post. So he was just ALLOWED by white's to play the game eh ? And that Bubba nascar fake noose dude was just ALLOWED to drive that nascar eh ? And that Smollett character was just ALLOWED by those maga hat wearer's to get away that night eh ? We could go on and on and on, but you get the point. Point being it's all bullcrap.There is a difference between spraining your ankle and somebody contributing to it getting sprained. Do you think the sport of Golf is dominated by whites because whites are inherently better at the game or because of another reason? I'll save the back and forth and assume we both know that money and social class play a large roll in it. This is a better example of how privilege plays into our society. Elements of our society that require money or access or higher education are largely dominated by whites. While laws have been put in place to try and eliminate the systemic oppression that was quite literally in our nations laws from its inception till the 1960's you have to be able to recognize that things don't all just change with the signing of legislation. Right?I view the term as this way. When we play basketball and someone sprains an ankle and cannot move as well do I have two leg privilege? No, he has one leg disadvantage. We are all born with advantages and disadvantages in life. The only true privilege in America is economic privilege. As I always tell my kids, this country is not systemically racist and they don't have white privilege. There is nothing that a black young person cannot legally do in this country that they can.That's what the term "white privilege" means, asshole. It means you should feel guilty simply because you are white. Otherwise, why use it?No you are not guilty of a crime for being white. Just guilty of being a dumbshit but thats because of your posts here on the board.The term "white privilege" is intended to imply that I'm guilty of some kind of crime simply because I'm white.I don't like the term white privilege, I see it as inflammatory. Do you really not understand what it is referring to? No it hasn't been gone for well over 100 years. Civil Rights act was in the 60's. The effect of centuries of oppression doesn't just magically go away when a new law is passedSo "white privilege" is something that has been gone for well over 100 years.
Take your "white privilege" and stick it where the sun don't shine. The entire south suffers to this day from the crimes committed during the Civil War. You don't see anyone blubbering about "Yankee privilege," now do you?
Not only do you accuse white people of having committed a crime of some kind, you deny that you are accusing them of it.
Why should anyone give a fuck about "white privilege" if it doesn't mean white people are guilty of something that they need to make amends for?
