White Privilege

A racist attempt to blame others for people's difficulties... Eddie mocks this.... do you?


 
in 2025 .... there is evidence available for privilege based on skin color/race/sexual preferences/gender etc

absolutely


there really isn't for "white" though

maybe in 1960 yes, but in 2025 its a not really, no. Remember - discrimination is discrimination, can't have it/want it/support it for revenge and it change - its still discrimination

Your implication of victimhood is a product of habituation. Whites are born into an system created and designed for their particular advantage....taken as a norm.
As such, they view any attempt at systemic equality an act of discrimination....i.e. a typical privileged perspective.

that's a liberal lie, stop believing it

In 2023, an estimated 15.9 million non-Hispanic White people lived below the poverty line in the United States
In 2023 roughly 8.3 million Black Americans living in poverty,

if there was a system created and designed to white advantage, its failed and always has terribly and miserably

when a person gets a job because they're white - you call that priviledge
when a person get a job because they're black, you call it something else, don't you ?

discrimination is discrimination - liberals love it. They want racism, sexism, misandry .... they greatly desire splitting this country into many groups and subgroups and telling everyone how minority and victims they are

they're not

they're in the USA - in 2025 ........ white privilege is a lie in today's USA

Tracing white privilege requires only basic reasoning and introspection, nothing particularly revolutionary.

The US has made strides toward equality yet, with the current rise of MAGA it's clearly reached it's tipping point. Equality may only reach a certain level upon the conservative hierarchy before it must be checked. Yes?
That's what we're witnessing ....a blatant fear of replacement, a perceived diminishing of cis, evangelical, white systemic prominence.
 
White privilege is definitely real, but privileges are earned. So what's the problem?

There are roughly 4.25 times more non-Hispanic white people than Black Americans. So, shouldn't the black poverty number be around 3.75 million? Or the white poverty number be 35.25 million?

then show me, today, in 2025, one example of white priviledge

I'll wait

that's not an example

the white privilege system you mean that saw my great grandparents in extreme poverty, grandparent's in poverty, parents in poverty and myself raised in poverty? that system ?

see, if you wasn't born into generational poverty, you don't understand it and it skewers the thinking IMO ..... because I lived it and experienced and know for a fact being white didn't help a dang bit for myself and family, I see the truth better than liberals do

It's clearly a meta example.

You're simply being reactionary. Clearly such a racial systemic privilege isn't gifting anyone anything. You still must labor, operate and function within a complex array of unpredictable forces.

You're ancestor's distinct privileged come from a lack of a racial barrier they weren't forced to endure. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess.

they didn't have that to deal with, you're right

it give them a mystical privilege clearly as they were generationally poor

everyone poor suffers ... poor doesn't care about skin color

Any wealth accumulated through the ownership of homes and passed down through the family, which is quite a bit, is an example of white privilege.

no, its wealth privilege (which is real)

millions of blacks owned homes when my white parents/grandparents didn't

white didn't help my generationally poverty family

and again, maybe whites got jobs 100 years ago better than blacks - I'll not argue that wasn't true overall. But it was 100 years ago. Today is today, you can literally change your world in 20-30 years working and change you're family's world too

blaming generations past is just that - its blaming, its excuses for a person's own faults/failures today, its escaping personal responsibility and/or its wanting free

white privilege isn't real, black privilege is and DEI very much enhanced discrimination over the last few years

Good take. I post this often, esp. when men are complaining about feminism:

"When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression."​

They're also inherited. And that really is the problem, right? If no, why not?

Agreed. Systemic racism isn't an excuse in every instance...though, the advantage of out-of-hand dismissing it, is nothing more than the privileged expressing their privilege.

The opportunuty to develop wealth through home ownership came through an opportunity given to whites but not to blacks. Of course, the fruits of that opportunity is passed from one generation to the next. Even now, white homes are worth more than black homes.

Your post is a perfect example. You seem to believe your family is entitled to a certain standard of living based on their skin color. 🌽🪕
