What is white privilege? [W:355]

Re: What is white privilege?

Didn't like what I wrote?
Tissue?

Nobody has forgotten that white people once owned blacks as slaves. Most of us got beyond the eighth grade.

Are you aware many of the benefits of the New Deal did not apply to black people....and was not corrected until the 1970's?

Can you not see the inherent advantages white people have had for the last 200+ years, and their ability to accumulate wealth vs people who were literally considered property, not people, than freed, only to become 2nd class citizens for 100+ years?

Do you think the CRA and the VRA ended systemic racism?

They can, and MOST do.
Do not believe the fake narrative being spread by the progressive leftists and anti-Trumps. They are doing what they do best. Exploiting Blacks in an attempt to do their own power grab.

That is exactly right. Well said.

Re: What is white privilege?

I'd say that it's pretty clear that cultural differences are the cause of some groups doing better than others, it has nothing to do with race. How can a country that had black President be racist (unless it's anti-white racism)?

You've got the same problem in the States as we have in the UK, leftists deliberately conflating different concepts (race and culture in this instance) in order to undermine the status quo.

We can't play their bigoted game. We must play the better and higher game.

What game is that?

Re: What is white privilege?

I don't feel superior to anyone because I was born with white skin.

Ain't no other reason for it.

Have you noticed that those who banter the words "white privilege" around the most, don't even bother to call Biden out?

That's why I know why they're basically all full of ****.

Re: What is white privilege?

As I predicted. Typical racist anti intellectualism.

You don't want discussion but uniformity of opinion. You think everyone has to hold to your view or they are "racist". What is it that makes any and every opinion at variance with yours somehow racist, even when it has zero to do with race? My post was neither racist nor anti-intellectual.

Ain't no other reason for what, my friend?

Blacks moved out of the republican party due to the new deal of FDR. Democrats story is the new deal benefited us all.

Re: What is white privilege?

I see plenty of racism on city streets pillaging stores and burning up cop cars.

That is vandalism, not racism.

That's moronic racist bs.

Black people were reduced to 0% of wealth and power by racism and held down for generations by racist law. Injustice continues today, white privilege, and racists deny it.

Disproportional wealth and power was and is caused by racism.

That is a fact.

Disproportional wealth and power was not caused by black skin.

Re: What is white privilege?

Why is it so significant today of what happened 150 years ago? Why do we keep getting reminded about slavery while at the same time, we tear down monuments representative of that period? Do we want to remember it or not?

I don't know, I'm not the one who thinks things suddenly changed and white privilege just became an issue.
It's been part of USA culture since the founding. Nothing suddenly changed.

Let's not forget Grandpa calling Obama the first articulate, bright, clean and nice looking AA candidate. Imagine Trump saying that!!!!!!!

Welp, this thread went exactly as expected.

"White privilege is your race not being a negative factor in your normal everyday lives."

Racists: "Wahhhhhh, you want us to feel guuuiiiiilllty."

Re: What is white privilege?

You’re the one who mentioned shame and guilt; not others. This is all on you.

Yes, and I'll keep mentioning how white liberals attempt to shame other whites.

Do you know how I know that's bs, because in the UK blacks tend not to do as well as Asians ...but the bottom of the pile here in terms of doing well at school is working class white boys. Are you suggesting that Britain is racist against white boys? Literally, that's your simplistic train of thought...not doing well means others are holding you back.

Thank you!

I don't think there's a person who has not acknowledged that George Floyd wasn't a victim of police brutality, but to use this incidence to say that white people are to blame for what happened to him and are holding Blacks back from opportunity is nonsense, invective.

If you feel shamed by the topic, then you should probably explore why that is.

Did you read the wiki about white privilege or are you still operating from a position of total ignorance?

Re: What is white privilege?

"White privilege is the automatic, taken-for-granted advantage bestowed upon white people as a result of living in a society based on the premise of white as the human ideal, and that from its founding established white advantage as a matter of law and today as a matter of policy and practice," DiAngelo said. "It doesn't matter if you agree with it, if you want it, if you even are aware of it — it's 24/7/365.

"One of the reasons why it's so hard for white people to see it — well, there are many reasons — but one is it serves us not to see it. We come to feel entitled to that advantage. We're told that we deserve it and that we earned it, and we take great umbrage when that is challenged."

What about white people who say, "I struggle too"?
"I'm really clear that I'm not saying that white people don't struggle or face barriers or work hard, but there's a major barrier in this society, racism, that we don't struggle with and not struggling against that barrier actually helps us navigate the barriers that we do struggle with," DiAngelo said. "You grew up in poverty. How has being white shaped how you experience poverty, and how you get out of poverty if you do get out of poverty? Again, it's not saying that white Americans don't work hard, but it's a bit like being a fish in a current that impacts the outcome of that work. There's a kind of moving along that amplifies that work, and for people of color, for black people, you're swimming against the current. And we're both working, we're both swimming, but there's such a different impact on the outcome of that effort."

Re: What is white privilege?

Do you read all my posts?
If not, start archiving to learn what I acknowledge or do not.

I don't feel superior to anyone because I was born with white skin.
I'm not responsible for those who do use their skin color to control others.

Do I read ALL of your posts? No.

Acknowledging white privilege does not mean one thinks one is superior to anyone.

No one is asking you to be responsible for systemic racist actions.

No need to feel guilty.

Re: What is white privilege?

How can that be?
I am liberal socially speaking. I have kids and grandkids. I never made any of them feel guilty for being white.
I never mention guilt ever about being white.

That is conservatives. I've never heard or seen anyone be guilty for being white and the only people to bring it up are conservatives. Ever.

It's a construct of conservatives imagination.
Deep down, the conservatives must be the ones feeling guilt. Else there's no reason to mention it.

Horsecrap. I put up a link showing how liberals shamed white kids in one school. Many more could be found as it happens all over and at all levels. Just because you aren't guilty of it doesn't mean it's not happening regularly.
