Do you really believe that black people drive worse?
No, that's not what I said at all. "Driving While Black" is the name used to describe the phenomenon. Take this as an example - this person was questioned by police because he's black.
‘Running while black’ seen as reason for police stop in Town of Tonawanda - City & Region - The Buffalo News
This man could not explain why, if he thought police had violated his rights by stopping him, he didn't file a complaint with that police department. Police only need a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to conduct a Terry stop. If he thinks they didn't have that reasonable suspicion, he can take legal action. Apparently, he'd rather just gripe and claim he was a victim of racial harassment. Sounds he just wanted to get his picture in the paper.
Nice racist comment there.
This phenomenon has no racial boundaries in my experience. Invariably, when I finally get around these idiots, they are texting.Whenever I come upon someone straddling the fast lane driving 32 miles per hour in a 65 MPH zone, inevitably the person behind the wheel is Asian, and 95% of the time also female. They should be pulled over for that. I'm at the point I think all Asian women should have to take an annual driving test.
(Can you tell this happened to me yet again this morning)??
NOTHING he said implied ANYTHING, only you implied it. I can see you can't own up to your own comments. NOTHING he said mentioned ANYTHING about whites, only YOU did. And seeing your previous comment I quoted you on it is clear you make racist comments.

Funny how japs and chinesse aren't suffering the same consequences as the blacks or latinos.
I mean, do they have asian privileges? Is that it?
Why is it that when a white person does something worth praising like graduating college or having a good job or w/e, it's played down as being because he has privilege. I think it's dishonest and takes away from the merit. When an asian graduated college or has a good job and is living well off it isn't diminished even though both groups have high graduation rates. Why is that?
There is no such thing as race "privilege" in the way the OP and others try to make it seem.
Everyone gets what he deserves. if you work hard and put your mind to work you will succeed. Everyone faces the same adversity everyday.
You do drugs, you go to jail.
Whenever I see all those statistics about the number of blacks vs whites who go to prison for drug posession why is it that nobody talks about # of possesions. Prior convictions or amount carried.
It's all sanitized to paint a pretty picture.
I'm a critical thinker and I don't like it when things show up as being clear cut. It smells of dishonesty. It smells like someone is trying too hard to make a point that, if context were provided, it would vanish.
In the USA, the only people who have some hint of privilege are the politically-well-connected. They have privileges. As in things that they shouldn't have but have for no merit.
Where the hell is this white privilege? I have been a cracker all my life and so far the only thing I have gotten for it was a tan.
...Yes it was...no it wasn't...Yes it was...no it wasn't...Yes it was...no it wasn't...Yes it was...no it wasn't...Yes it was...no it wasn't.
You win. I'm tired of your idiotic game.
Some of them are. Many of them are, in fact...black lawyers, black doctors, black stockbrokers, black teachers, black accountants, black restaurant owners, black CEOs, black actors, black entertainers, black business owners, black sales people....we even have a black President, black Attorney General, black SCOTUS judge.....
There is nothing prohibiting a smart, hardworking black person from rising to the very pinnacle of success in this country. We have living proof of that. This isn't 1862 anymore.
Does that mean white people never get stopped?
You may have something there, but the "reasonable suspicion" is that they had a report of a black person committing a robbery. Does that mean that every single black person in a given locality is a suspect? Would you make the same assumption if it were a white that robbed the drugstore?
Privilege is simply the other side of discrimination. People of color have the disadvantage of dealing with racial discrimination as a rule while white people have the advantage, or privilege, of being of not dealing with racial discrimination as a rule. It's important to acknowledge the privilege aspect in addition to the discrimination aspect so that people who are privileged understand how it plays a role in their lives.
Wanna look at drug crime conventions and race? Wanna look at "stop and frisk" statistics?
Blacks have the right to take pride in their race. Whites don't.
Blacks get to play the race card. Whites don't.
Black people have the right to demonize white people. White people don't have the right to demonize black people.
Black people are a "protected class." White people are not.
Blacks are "cool." Whites are "squares" and "rednecks."
Black men are sexual supermen. White men are sexually inadequate. Black men have huge penises. White men have small, inadequate penises.
Blacks have "civil rights". Whites don't.
Blacks are morally superior to whites.
"[Blacks] enjoy cultural cache around the world as victors over oppression and the hard reality of what that looks like at this point in world history. The music that they enjoy, the clothes that they wear, their very mannerisms carry a certain amount of gravitas."[3]
Blacks can assign collective racial guilt to "you white folks." White people cannot do the reverse because that would be racist.
White people everywhere, and at all times, bear guilt for the crimes of a minority of white people in the past (e.g., slave owners, Adolf Hitler). Making blacks bear guilt, as a race, for the despicable crimes of their criminal minority is stereotyping, racist, and an insult to reason; after all, no one should ever be blamed for the acts of some unrelated person.
Blacks have "black culture." Whites are not allowed to have white culture.
Whites have to walk on eggshells around blacks. Blacks don't give a **** what whites think.
Blacks have the right to never be portrayed as criminals or low-lifes in films or on TV. Bad guys on the screen must always be white.
Blacks can silence and intimidate whites by calling them racist. Whites can't silence and intimidate blacks because that would be racist.
Forcing whitey to apologize shows black power and clout. Whites can never force blacks to apologize because that would constitute a lynching.
"Whites are monitored, pestered, and punished for preposterous reasons--for a look, for an innocent word, for wearing a T-shirt, for expressing a plausible argument--but blacks can say almost anything with perfect impunity."[5]
"In discussions of race between black people and white people the conscious black person is always right; is always the ultimate authority on questions having to do with race and racism; must always be regarded as the ‘injured party,’ or the oppressed. . . . [Whites] cannot possibly be expected to be objective about questions of race."[6]
Blacks may work for explicitly racial goals but whites may not.
.Blacks are permitted to notice race. Whites are not
"It is quite acceptable for either party to explicitly go after the black, Hispanic, or even the Jewish vote. In fact both parties gain an indispensable moral authority by doing so. But it is absolutely verboten for either party, or any white candidate, to appeal to whites as a racial identity group. Racial identity is simply forbidden to whites in America and across the entire Western world. Black children today are hammered with the idea of racial identity and pride, yet racial pride in whites constitutes a grave evil. Say 'I'm white and I'm proud' and you are a National Socialist."[7]
It can be publicly admitted that blacks are superior to whites in certain pursuits (i.e. basketball). It can never be publicly admitted that whites are superior to blacks in other pursuits (i.e. winning Nobel prizes in science).
I think the OP is talking about things like a white person is not thought to be a their when in a small store but a black person is.
is that white privilege really?
Did the store owner open his doors with the notion that all white customers are honest and blacks are not, or did experience change how he ran his store?
Yeah,I need to let that cop that stopped me, a couple of weeks ago, know that he wasn't supposed to do that. :lol:

Is There Such a Thing as "White Privilege"?
As Wiki defines it: "White privilege (or white skin privilege) is a term for societal privileges that benefit white people beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people in the same social, political, or economic circumstances" White privilege - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
