No. That's a crock of horsesh*t from stupid, stupid people who don't understand how the world works. Literally EVERYONE on Earth has advantages and disadvantages. That is literally how humanity works. Women have them, men have them, white people have them, black people have them, Hispanic people have them. Now, some may have more advantages than others, but if that is the case, you'd have to acknowledge Black Privilege as well, such as being favorable in sports or the hip hop industry or being assumed to be tougher and less of a victim on the street.
People nowadays are just whiny bitches who want to blame others for their issues, often while being first world, gainfully employed, college educated left-leaning people, as well. This while literally billions of people around the world live in poverty and many of them don't have clean drinking water or food. And yes, some of them are WHITE! Like in Eastern Europe or South Africa.
So no. "White privilege" is just a form of racism from idiots who have no f*cking clue how society, let alone the world, works. They want to ignore being in the top 1% of wealth on the planet, or having enough free time to whine about petty immature bullsh*t rather than work for a living and actually come up in the world. Not saying you can't do both, but these people usually don't. Because they're already successful enough to make up bullsh*t problems in life, because they don't have any ACTUAL problems in life. Also, they're stupid. And usually talentless, which is why they need to make excuses in life.
And before you throw your retarded comments my way, just know that I'm a black male who grew up dirt poor in West Philly (before it became gentrified millennial trash) who now has a Masters degree and a full time job. And no, it wasn't easy getting any of that, either. So miss me with your "making excuses to cover up my own failures" bullsh*t. The worst part is, we JUST had a black president, so all this stuff shouldn't even still be an issue among these same immature losers who refuse to grow up and face reality.
The only actual "privilege" that exists today that hurts others is "disparate wealth privilege," because that's literally always been a thing in modern civilization and is actually easy to demonstrate from the legal system (Epstein and the Clintons included) to politics, and ANYONE of any race can be wealthy in America. Funny how no one talks about that "privilege" anymore...
White privilege is when you assume you know everything there is to know about somebody's life just because of the color of their skin.
So actually, the people who are calling out white privilege thinking they're battling racism, but they're really just perpetuating it and keeping it alive and not letting it die out. Race relations were getting a lot better back when I was a little kid, but they're worse now than I've ever seen.
Yes. You have higher chance of getting into better colleges and better jobs because your parents tend to be more educated than immigrant parents. They have professional connections since they are professionals themselves. Your educated parents can tutor you if you’re stuck on homework. They have more money to afford hiring a tutor. You live in a rich neighborhood so you get to interact and be surrounded or mentored by other educated rich whites.
If you’re growing up in poor neighborhood, there’s a good chance they will all be immigrants who don’t speak any English. Rich parents can afford to need their kids to Ivy League schools or tops colleges without worrying too much about cost. My brother rejected an acceptance offer from a great university DUKE UNIVERSITY due to the tuition Which his poor parents couldn’t afford to pay for.
The US most prestigious companies and firms are traditionally run by whites since the mid 1950s. They tend to discriminate a lot. Affirmative action does little to nothing as these firms remain almost 90% white, in comparison to the huge diversity of Asian Americans within Ivy League colleges.
Whites also get to get away with things that non whites can’t.
Regardless if if you’re a natural born citizen or not, you can be born next door to a white baby, but you will always be seen as less of an American than the whites.
I won't trust what you have to say unless you can back it up with facts. And your suggestion not to trust facts, now it makes perfect sense why you're as delusional as you are
@Rangers I don’t really care about whether you agree with me or not. Anyone with sufficient exposure would know this is true. I also don’t try to argue cus I know some whites have a bias against the truth
You just made a comment that certainly wouldn't fly if I made the same one about blacks. And how can you say I'm biased against the truth when you reject facts because they don't support your agenda? No wonder nobody takes you seriously
I don’t need to prove anything to anyone. Because I live in NYC where the most diverse populations exist. It’s also epicenter for work / career/ money making. The most educated people are located in my city. Not some asshole from the suburbs that are 90 percent white
That’s actually not true. Most recent studies now showcase that whites and Asians have a higher chance of getting rejected from university. Affirmative action has now become an over correction.
@Not_Average traditionally white workplaces are less likely to be open to diversity as the colleges. Employers are usually more exclusive and selective than colleges.
Let's break this down. What baby dolls do you see in the kids section of a mall? White ones. What models do you see on the front of your daily clothing magazines? White people. What do you see when you search 'attractive people' on Google? White people. You can try and ignore white privilge, but it exists. And it needs to go away.
First of all, the color of skin dolls have doesn't make one privileged at all and you need to open your eyes because kids are having politically correct stuff pushed on them left and right which disgusts me. The fact that you're nitpicking to that extent proves very well that you have no examples and you know white privilege is complete nonsense but you're a leftist and feel the need to express that belief to pander to the mob, but you aren't convincing one person and neither is anyone else in the mob.
What is the racial demographic of countries that you see that in? Predominantly white. Saying thats a privilege (which its not because it doesn't impact them in anyway) is like saying that African nations are privileged because their media is comprised of blacks and Africans. I mean if I go to china what do I see? Asian dolls in the kids section. Who do I see on the cover of their magazines? Asian people. And when you search attractive people in Asian nations what do you see? Asians.
So yeah not a well thought out argument. In fact it actually proves you wrong because in a majority white nation the fact that the majority of people are white is considered a bad thing yet you would never say that about an Asian, African, or south American nation, only white nations are punished because they have a majority white population.
@Rangers if white people weren’t so cool, why don’t minorities get any representation in our media? Why aren’t there minorities heading the DNC? Why is the single Asian American ever to run for President constantly ridiculed by the press?
America is basically a country full of white supremacists pretending they’re not racist
That’s not true. I’d expect a New Yorker to say that though. New York is absolutely trash because it’s being ran by a crazy democrat. Crime up 400% after defunding the police. 81% of Black people say they want police.
Literally white supremacy is such an irrelevant sub-fraction of the US- that the left has to make up situations. Leftist politician wrote a fake racist letter to himself and admitted it. Bubba Wallace our there saying the garage handle was a noose. I mean- don’t you think if white supremacy existed to the extent you think, then they would be fighting and killing these rioters?
Identity politics was started by the Obama administration.
@Not_Average in any other state other than NYC or CA I do not recommend minorities to live there. These 90 percent white suburbs are where the KKK usually all live.
Whites make up the majority of the population. Why are minorities supposed to avoid white people? That seems kind of racist. Your response is entirely illogical. The KKK is a sub-set group of people that are completely irrelevant to society and bare no political power. They are such a small fraction of the white population that nobody ever hears about them anymore. The majority of white people are not white supremacist lol. This simply isn’t true- and if you don’t believe me, look at the facts and maybe associate yourself with more whites. You’re also forgetting about areas that are becoming increasingly liberal- like Austin TX for example. There are many more.
That’s like me avoiding places that have a large black population like Birmingham AL because I don’t want to be surrounded by gang infested violent criminals. You see how closed off and racist that sounds when I reverse the cards?
@Not_Average if America werent racist , then why aren’t there more minorities in holly wood besides blacks? You never see a Muslim in your movies. You never see an Asian American host on tv. you never see an Asian American representation in the media. Everything is white. The only Asian American man running for President was attacked and constantly disrespected by news reporters on tv as If he were a joke.
Just cus you are not in the KKK it doesn’t mean. You’re not racist.
Are white people to blame for being attractive to non-whites? Black, Indian and Asian men prefer white (or at least fair skinned) women over their own women, but we must blame white men for that?
@nella965 this is about online dating, in real life, over 90% of white men will prefer white women (including white Latinas and Middle Eastern women). Asian women are simply considered easy options for white men.
@Daemon_von_Wayren it’s actually very common to see white Asian couples in the US. I live in nyc and they are the most common interracial couple here. I don't know where you live though
@Daemon_von_Wayren the video says Asian women are the most popular amongst men. It’s not only white men who love Asian women. I’ve met my fair share of Latinos, black men who are also obsessed with Asian women
Hollywood is extremely liberal. Extremely! Do your homework. The reason why you don’t see an equal distribution at times in the past is because by population- minorities are titled minorities for a reason. Blacks for example make up 13% of the population- yet they already make up a disproportionate amount of the media.
I mean, the fact that you’re going to suggest that minorities only live in NY and CA because too many white people are in other states- and by default whites people are affiliated with white supremacy and KKK... well, that’s racist. You’re painting an entire race or subset of people under the same negative brush because of the color of their skin. Not all whites people are pirvleedged white supremacist. In fact, very very few are.
The reason I’m voting republican this year is because I actually care about black people. 81% of blacks are saying they want the police and a lot said they want more- yet, they’re defunding them. Look at cities like Baltimore who have been ran by democrats for 40 years. It’s terrible. I don’t want a racial division. Trump tried for open school choice so that blacks in bad neighborhoods could go to schools in good neighborhoods. Democrats voted that out. Black unemployment all time low. Blacks victim of homicide all time low.
The left is creating a massive racial divide for political gain and utilizing black lives matter as their front line infantry. The more they can divide, the more votes they can gather.
It’s actually disgusting how far they’re taking it. You’re simply a product of your environment and what the left wants you to do. They think black people are stupid. They aren’t. Most want nothing to do with this movement.
I can’t unteach hatred. I can’t unteach racism. You live the life you want to live, but you painting out white people like that is offensive and racist.
Because of the unique language, Riga, Jurmala, Legion Day, hot women and I have so many friends there and in Estonia at this point that I go to hang out with them and drink balzams. Last year I was in More for the remembrance day with my camera to film a documentary. The minister of defence was there too. And many families and schools.
Well the very notion itself disproves its own existence. Your saying that you don't have problems or get judged based upon your skin color. . . . because of your skin color. Its a contradiction. Its also provably false. Whites are more likely to be killed by cops despite blacks commiting more crimes, whites are more likely to be ticketed for traffic violations despite blacks being more likely to commit them (yet are twice as likely to be let off with a warning), colleges require that a white applicant score the equivalent of 380 additional SAT points to be considered EQUAL to a black students (and 360 additional points to be viewed as equal to a hispanic applicant), despite unarmed whites being more likely to be shot by police blacks shot get seven times the media coverage, etc. etc. etc.
So not only does the very claim negate its own argument, its also factaully incorrect based upon the data. So no, no it doesn't exist its just an excuse for racist people to be racist towards whites (the only group you are allowed to hate because of their skin color (which is decidedly not a privilege)).
Ah, "white privilege". If you don't see it, it's because you don't lack it; the tiger-repelling rock of sociological theories. Now I am an American, from the land that saw Eurasia's race-related strife, horror, and insanity, and thought "We need to get in on that!", and am of Irish extraction; a group right up at the top of paleness; second only to the 'vampire' demographic.
And I'm here to tell you it's absolute hogwash. Is there still racism here? Sure. You'll find bigoted jackasess of every shape and size, no question. But individuals are individuals, and the presence of ideological evil is the price of a free country. The massive forms of discrimination that dominate the public scene here have nothing to do with race; they're based primarily on economics, and secondarily on sex. Do you honestly think that, if you were to be brought down to the lowest economic strata and had to scavenge and scrounge to survive, it'd make a damn difference what color your skin was? When you've been reduced to searching through the neighbor's garbage for anything edible, the only thing they're going to care about is whether you're a raccoon. Believe me, I've been there. It truly sucks. And if we're ever going to have an egalitarian society, it's not going to come from throwing baseless accusations at each other.
Dumb fuck stupid kid paid for a college degree and got a load of marxist propaganda shoved in their brain instead
If you look at how much money white people get taxed compared to minorities, we pay the majority, specifically white men actually. There is a large involuntary wealth transfer away from white men and to other races and genders. Is this white privilege?
how about having no scholarships available, minorities have tons of options for handouts all day and white men specifically don’t have shit available. Tough it out, you have your privilege, they say. Oh, you have depression and anxiety? You’ve been through this and that and your life is a mess? TOO BAD KIDDO BECAUSE YOU ARE A WHITE MAN AND THEREFORE U NEED NO HELP U GOT UR PRIVILEGE
I heard someone down in the comments talking about white baby dolls and white people on magazines. Here’s a fucking thought: I DONT BUY BABY DOLLS AND I DONT READ MAGAZINES AND EVEN IF I DID HOW THE FUCK DOES THAT BENEFIT ME? You people are STUPID, RACIST INGRATES!!!
There were some studies here in The Netherlands that do prove that solely having a Dutch name, as opposed to a non-Western name, does represent a significant benefit in getting jobs, apartments and that sort of stuff. Even having a criminal record with a Dutch name gave you better chances in that study relative to just having a non-western name.
Obviously, this is not “white privilege” because it’s not inherently “white”, rather names with a specific etymology. Then again, this entire “white” concept in the USA is rather odd in itself.

Depends. If you think Italians, French, Spanish, Germans, etc. are not discriminated against in other areas of the world you're either sheltered or stupid.
Take French as an example. Where I am French are still viewed very poorly. They are discriminated against, denied good jobs, taunted, and mocked. I heard a French slur by a local my parents referred to as 20+ years behind the times. A government official even told my mother, whose surname is hyphenated (typical of people from French N. American regions), that she would have "problems" though neither surname is Francophone.
to a extent its uh yes and no, white people in the early 1900s and below did have privilege today honestly no they don't they are just as likely to get killed as a black person the only reason rich people are white majority is cause black people don't know how to get rich unless its threw sports or very rarely business mostly threw sports then business, white people are naturally business people its just how they are, black people like the people from africa are runners, sports people we just are active so in short we use what we got
What's funny is that you're a WHITE woman talking about white privilege lol. Why don't you do society a favour then and tan, you're just a hypocrite. It's more convincing if this white privilege thing is coming from a black person compared to you, YOU PRIVILEGED WHITE WOMAN. I don't like to think that there's white privilege because like who cares? At the end of the day, no one gives a fuck. Like I'm working, going to school, the last thing I would think is this nonsense. You sound like you live pretty well-off that you're parents paid for your lifestyle for you to think like this.
If you have been to the projects lately, you will find one interesting thing. There's no shortage of white people living there too. Where does their white privilege weigh in on the scale? I don't mean to sound cocky, but I was that poor, and lived in those projects. There's zero mention of the plight of poor white people, who suffer exactly the same thing as poor black people.
It's not their skin color that defines privilege, it's money that defines privilege - those who have most of the privilege are the same ones keeping the racism alive. I climbed out of poverty- after failing for more than 25 years to escape it, and finally succeeded mostly by luck and happenstance, not because I tried any harder than times before, I just got lucky. Some black people also get lucky. The rest, white or black, stay where they are.
According to the survey done at talkpoverty in 2018, about 20.8% of African Americans where in poverty though 8.1% of white Americans were in poverty as well. Taking that in account with the four countries on the brink of famine that house mostly black people. The reason black people get more attention is because there are so many more black people in poverty than whites. Like 10 times the amount. Yes white poor people exist, but there is an overwhelming amount of black people that have it worse
White privilege is the privilege you have that the color of your skin is not something that is going to make your life harder. Your life could be very hard but one of the factors that is making your life hard is not the color of your skin. It would be ignorant to think white privilege doesn’t exist in America because how could it possibly not exist? That’s just not possible with the way this country was formed and some of the things that are studio embedded today that show white privilege.
Except that isn't true. We have hiring quotas that discriminate against whites to the benefit of minorities. Our skin color makes it that much harder to get a job.
When it comes to applying for college its been proven that they discriminate against whites, in fact so much so that a white student has to score the equivalent of 380 points MORE then a black student to be considered EQUAL to said black student. Its 360 points more to be considered equal to a hispanic student.
Statistically blacks commit almost 50% of traffic violations yet are twice as likely to be let off with a warning compared to whites, our skin color makes it harder to be let off with a warning compared to blacks.
Statistically blacks are 13% of the population yet account for over half of all violent crime, robbery and murder yet stating this fact makes a person "racist". Our skin color does not make things easier for us here either. Statistically blacks are responsible for 80% of all interracial violence and crime and are 150% more likely to commit a hate crime then whites as well as based upon one study done are also far more likely to use hate speech then whites. Despite this fact whites are the ones accused of being racist, our skin color is not of benefit to us but in fact a hindrance in this regard.
When it comes to scholarship and grants we have minority specific ones but to have white ones is considered "racist", in this regard whites are at a disadvantage because of the color of their skin.
Despite blacks being responsible for over half of all violent crimes (again despite being 13% of the population) whites are actually more likely to be shot and killed by the police then blacks are who are statistically less likely to be shot (specifically by white officers). Our skin color is in fact a detriment here as well. In addition, despite blacks being responsible for 40% of all police deaths (again they are only 13% of the population) to the point where an officer is 18.5% more likely to be killed by a black suspect then a black suspect is to be killed by a police officer, when ever we talk about these interactions blacks are shown to be the victim every time despite their criminal records and the evidence of them resisting arrest and commiting crimes. Being white is a hindrance in this regard, especially when you consider that we have better evidence of blacks actively targeting police (both in the mentioned stats as well as their cultural narratives like music were they talk about killing cops yet we do not see the opposite with the police) then we do of police actively targeting blacks.
The fact of the matter is that your argument is circular. You have decided that whites cannot be discriminated against and your evidence of this is that they are white and white people cannot be discriminated against (your premise and conclusion are one and the same, their is no evidence or argument to show that conclusion to be true).
So not only does it not exist, the exact opposite is true, minority privilege PROVABLY exists. As for how our nation formed, it formed like every other nation in the world bar none. The only unique thing about how the US formed was that we were far less blood thirsty, far more generous, and far more against slavery then any other nation (we started ending it before any one else, africa wouldn't end it until the 1960s along with the middle east, asia in the 1930s-50s etc.) and fought the hardest to integrate different groups into our nation to the point were we have made citizens of more immigrants then any other nation, five times more a year to be precise and only 5% of those come from Europe. So your also incorrect there as well.
To a certain extent yes. I've been with friends who are African American and they've definitely been treated differently than I would have been like in the hospital. If I would intervene on their behalf to advocate for their care it would seem to make a difference versus them dealing with the situation.
Hey, love, presidents and prime minsters don't really have real power in the political decision-making if we are talking about Western countries like Canada and the USA. People don't even know how their own countries are run. I wouldn't call this a "democracy."
So? Russian people deserve a good living conditions and thats not what putin government can achieve. He is only focused on military (same goes for erdogan)
Yes, and our living conditions have been improved a lot since the 1990s, post-Soviet Russia had become a hellhole with the Westernisation implemented by Yeltsin, a political process Putin has wisely reversed.
Yeah, I know this. The problem is that the Cold War never really ended, it was always a "war" against Russia, not against Communism. Our Siloviki (the guys with guns) are very aware of that, and that's why we need Putin.
turks say the same about YPG/PKK. "we have a terror problem, we must keep erdoğan" . There must be other presidents that can fight with terrorism. 20 years ago, we were talking about joining EU, now we are keeping 7 million refugees for a few euros from germany
Well, that's what the West has to offer to you Turks, right? Only the burdens, not the perks... It has been a long time since we figured out that the foreign relations with the West are rarely in our people's best interest. Once the Western leaders can't take advantage of Erdogan anymore, they would fully support YPG/PKK. These people love to make big profits out of the conflicts they instigate. I remember of this old Iraqi saying, "If two fish fight in the Tigris, the Westerners are behind it."
The heads of countries last week they called me up, 'could you call Erdogan?'" Trump said during a Fox News interview, quoting world leaders whom he did not name. Trump said he asked the undisclosed leaders why he should be the one to speak to the Turkish president, to which Trump said they responded, "'You're the only one he'll listen to. He doesn't listen to us. You're the only one.'" "I said, 'Is that because of the United States?' He says 'no, that's because of you. That's because of your personality. You're the only one that he'll listen to,'" Trump said. "I don't like saying this publicly, but it happens to be true. I get along with him and he listens."
he is saying similar things about Putin, they all use each other. thats disgusting
You got the idea, it's what I've been wanting to say about the foreign relations between our respective countries and the West. I liked this conversation, sweetie. Now it's my time to sleep, have sweet dreams!
wtf do you mean they don't have extra problems because of their skin color? Say his name! Cannon Hinnant!!! 5 year old kid shot because of his skin color by a racist piece of shit black man, but we gonna pretend that didn't happen because we wanna pretend that shit only happens to people of color. There are many more examples of white people being killed for being white. If that sounds like privilege to you, you're a sick mofo. Where are all the whites looting and burning buildings to the ground in his name? Dats right. They ain't doin it. Only BLM and their Antifa crime buddies can get away with that shit. Is that your idea of white privilege? Check yo' racism.

It's as real is modern unicorns or Big Foot, it exist when you want it to or if you imagine hard enough. However, for those who have thrown out the water glass and gotten real, there is no white privilege. A realist takes the world as it is, not how they want it to be. If you think being white is a privilege, you are racist. You deny the humanity of white people, buy falsely implying life is different based on their skin color. The only thing that makes the greatest impact on your life is how you choose to think, who you choose to work for, and how you choose to act. It is natural in human nature to blame and accuse people who've made the opposite choices of being wrong, but in the end we all live in our choices. I serve Jesus and he doesn't care about skin color. It's impossible to serve him without a changing of your mind through repentance and accepting salvation. I pray you do both. You only get choices in this life.
There's a certain advantages to being white in a overwhelmingly nation that is white just like there's a advantages to being Mexican in Mexico. That's just common sense and its expected.
You can be white but if you don't work hard, study or do something to advance yourself then you aren't going anywhere regardless of your skin color.
Of course it is. But it's such a difficult concept to get across to people and the tone is usually interpreted to be hostile. Telling a middle class white coal miner that he's privileged in any way shape or form will backfire terribly, even if you're 100% correct about what you're saying.
In my country in Europe you have more privileges as a refugee. You get housing payed by the embassy, bus and train for free and they drive bmw and mercedes. Everything we work for, they get for free. Also you can't say anything against them, otherwise you're called a racist immediately.
No it's fake. Lol it's just an illusion that millions of black people are isolated and have been rejected economic growth. whike while the same white people they graduated with in University enjoy luxurious and we'll to do jobs n economic growth.. While blacks are criminalized, discriminated against many opportunities. Yet you question the legitimate bases to equality?
Blacks are incarcerated more because they have statistically committed 51% of homicide over the last 30 years considering they make up only 13% of the population. Affirmative action gives minorities the opportunity to get a two year degree for free. Even university with the right grants and scholarships. There’s something called self accountability. Exactly how are blacks rejected from economic growth? The way wealth is created is by investing. Anyone can start an IRA with even $1.
White people get a lot of shit and animosity from all of us jungle people. Yeah they have privilege but it was earned because their ancestors were smart and lucky.
Also plenty of disgusting white loser junkies in the USA where the fuck is there privilege 😂😭
