White privilege does not mean you've had a privileged life

[task0778]

There's a lot of truth in the statement below IMHO. Certainly racism exists, certainly there is such a thing as white privilege where some white people caught a break or got an opportunity that a black person didn't. And that ain't right but guess what, there are a lot of white people that didn't catch a break either or got an opportunity too. So here's what I think you should do about it:

STFU and go about your business. If you're a father, be a father. Teach your kids right from wrong, make sure they stay in school and get and education. You don't have to have the best teachers and the best schools to get a good education, it's more about the individual putting in the work to learn than anything else. Make sure your kids don't put themselves in a position to where the cops are going to arrest them on suspicion of doing something illegal. I know, it happens anyway whether they've actually done anything or not. But a black person can reduce the odds of that happening considerably by not passing a counterfeit $20, or taking something from a store, or selling some illegal substance. Yeah, we got some bad cops but we also got some stupid people too. So change yourself, change your community, make it a better place to live. And blaming somebody else for your problems and stop acting like a victim.

Me too, and I ain't all that handsome either. Didn't have anybody giving me anything, I earned everything I ever got.

 

[Rambunctious]

There was no privilege for me growing up in the inner city....going to an almost all black jr high having to avoid certain streets and alleyways just to get home from school....not going passed the front porch at night and having to fight off more than one aggressor many times while growing up.....all because of my skin color.....
When you are too busy crying over your own hardships you will neglect to see the things other people have to endure.....

 

[BigTy87]

Myself and my family has a 10X greater chance of being killed by a black as a black family has to be killed by a white. How's that for a problem caused by my skin color?

Fuck the term white privilege and the far left BLM racist narrative it rode in on.

Frank Ragnow's statement is FALSE. If you are white, your skin color HAS caused the problem of troubles, problems, and adversities. Maybe Ragnow hasn't experienced it, but many other whites have.

Being racially discriminated against by Affirmative Action, has taken millions of whites out of careers they otherwise would have had, and put them in lifelong situations of incomes a small fraction (ex. 1/4) of what they would/could/should have had.

This income reduction continues even in retirement, as Social Security benefits, based on income while in the workforce, is also now reduced, in conformance with the reduced workforce income.

 

[TNHarley]

That term is malarkey. How many people have actually advanced solely for being white?
I mean, seriously.

 

[martybegan]

Screaming "white privilege" is nothing more than trying to discount my opinion on something because I am white.

It's trying to win the argument without actually having to win the argument.

When I was a long haired leather jacket teen aged pot head socialist dumbfuck, I got hassled by cops all the time. I got caught with weed, and still talked my way out of an arrest.

It wasn't because of "privilege" it was because I had the sort of demeanor and integrity to first of all be respectful, and second of all to own up to whatever I did to get their attention.

Have I run across cops that were pieces of shit? You betcha!!!! It cost me a fuckton of money to resolve it too. That said I harbor no animosity of police because they have a job to do that I have no desire to do in most jurisdictions. The politics and ROE are far too fucked up when you have goddamned liberals running a city.

That's the best definition of white privilege I've seen yet.

Some--many--of the problems in the black community, like high crime, drug abuse (and the related trafficking), higher unemployment and less education are problems of poverty. As a social worker and teacher in an area which is 97% white, I can attest to that. They're not getting married, either, but having babies without a thought for how to actually care for them. They fill the jails. They stop attending school sometime after junior high. They have piss poor employability skills, like reliability. They're white.

Generational poverty is a tough nut to crack whether you live in the south end of Chicago or in rural Maine. The thing we have to ask ourselves is, WHY are blacks poor to a higher degree than other racial groups? Why is their unemployment rate always twice as high as whites? Some will say the answer is that black people are inherently lazy, dumb, violent. That is not the case; they were not born that way. The underlying question has to be, WHY is poverty still so hard to crack in the black community now that they are treated equally? Maybe because they aren't. My gram always said, It takes money to make money. That's pretty much true. You can't pull yourself up by the boot straps if you haven't got boots. See what I mean?

That's not why we discount your opinion, Marty. lol

But if someone is "screaming" white privilege at you, then you're trying to argue with the wrong person. This morning I got told the STFU, called a moron and a kunt for saying the President had a track record of saying unfortunate things about minorities. That kind of person doesn't deserve your time. But when a poster makes a simple statement and the reaction is an aggressive attack, I'd say the "screaming" is coming from the other quarter.

So you think blacks are being denied jobs solely for being black? Are they being denied HS diplomas for being black as well?

There is not agreeing with my opinion, and trying to discount it.

And i disagree, what you need to do is respond to said person in kind, I have no issue arguing from the mountaintop or slugging it out in the mud.

The concept of "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" is asinine, and I endeavor to find out who coined it. If you stand in a 5 gallon bucket, can you pick it up?

As far as poverty goes, lets just face the facts. It's easier to be lazy I'd be a fuckin billionaire if someone paid me to sit on my ass and insult bed wetters on the internet. Laziness is not more inherent in any "race" because we are all a single race, but in the black culture it is somehow deviant to be a higher achiever. At least from my perspective. That is just the way I can see it though, I have asked all my black friends about it and they all pretty much acknowledge that in their culture doing hard work, getting good grades, and avoiding thuggish lifestyles is "acting white" and frowned upon.

How the fuck do you change THAT?

The concept of "white privilege" is complete bullshit...

Lets just be honest about it, its a leftist construct to further division just like the concept of "race" is. We are all human beings, there is not a different species of humans from one to another. So lets just put a fork in this stupid bullshit.

I can't deny that I have seen shit that some blacks had to tolerate that I would not have had to in the same circumstance, specifically interactions with police, but that is not because of something white people did, it's because of shit black people did. Police are not trained to focus on black people, they learn that from black people. There are a lot of black cops who don't hesitate to arrest blacks because they're past the bullshit.

A lot of white people have been sent to the end of the line by affirmative action. In fact even our military academies are now 50% set aside for minorities and women.
