Again, no sunstantive response and a simply repeated ridiculous claim made by someone else that you've given no critical thought to and use as a substitute for your absence of facts and information. I'm not surprised
So we are privileged, so privileged that you cannot say how we are privileged? You are using circular logic. If you cannot define what white privilege is and point to examples then you don't have an argument. But the idea that you can't be discriminated and judged because your white is itself discrimination and a judgment based upon the persons skin color which negates the argument.
@hellionthesagereborn If you really wanted to know you wouldn't rely on a kid half your age to tell you. But here's a site that has some cases put together that shows the difference of how cases are treated based on by their race. Granted some of the comparisons are between different states but eh. www.google.com/.../white-privilege-examples
Oh I only asked because you wouldn't have an answer. Case comparison is not a very good measure as blacks are not only responsible for over half of all violent crimes, robberies, and murders despite being 13% of the population, they are also far more likely to be repeat offenders which extends sentences as well as being more likely to belong to a gang which again extends sentences etc. etc. etc.
So here is a list of privileges that non whites get:
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.
This is pretty relative based on where you live. Your skin color and other racial attributes will bring you problems, and advantages, pretty much everywhere in the world. One thing that everyone needs to realize is that whoever you are, you will be judged for the actions of other people who look like you.
In short, people will love you and people will hate you, and none of it will have anything to do with you.
It depends on where you are. Wherever there is a majority and a minority, you will encounter in-group bias and out-group hostility. For example in China, you will be privileged if you are Asian and discriminated against if you are white.
Yes, but it's infouence is negligible. Every race, nationality, sex, gender, sexuality, occupation, as well as many other things, have their privileges. But again, they're generally entirely negligible.
Not really its just benefit of the doubt. Thats all it is. The financial one could be arguees about black baby boomers and maybe the early gen x. But everybody else.
White people the new niggas in my opinion unless you a certain of white
Yeah of course it is and the people in this comments should stop being butthurt over being told they are privileged. Nobody is calling you a racist oder thinks that it's your fault for being white. Just acknowledge that it exists and move on with your life , nothing will change.

If "White" Privilege exits then Black privilege exists too... change my mind.
No it isn't. If white privilege was real then Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal, Shaun King, etc would not have to pretend to be something other than white to get a leg up, they would just be able to say they're white and be showered in privilege for it.

no not where I live. I think white privilege is real in certain areas in Eastern Europe and Nebraska
Yes, you get no excuses and have to own your mistakes, can't play the victim card. It's not I didn't get the job bc racism, its I didn't get the job bc i dont have the skills i better find a way to get them.
@Ad_Quid_Orator ‘white privilege’ is a made up term. It has no scientific definition. It’s never been scientifically proven to exist. Would you have white privilege if you moved to Nigeria?
We can see it in the form of unfair sentencing for crimes (African Americans usually have a higher probability of being convicted and face longer sentences for the same crimes): www.aclu.org/.../...parities_aclu_submission_0.pdf And how African Americans are economically disenfranchised by discriminatory policies: www.chicagofed.org/.../wp2017-12
It's definitely real, but I would also say that it tends to be more real for women than men. White men tend to experience fewer problems as a result of being white, while women actually experience active improvements because of their whiteness.
If it was real why is Barack Obama the first black president? And not the first mixed president? Why is it that people who are mixed except the label of black instead of white?
Because he sees himself as black, and at the time in terms of societal language people called him black. It is only recently that mixed has become the preferred term. As for why he would choose it... Apart from how he identifies, his success proves black Americans and those in minorities can do great things. He doesn't need to lean into additional privilege, but he can use his race to empower the black community to believe it is a turning point in history and they can also achieve great things.
Nah sorry lmao There's actually an agenda. There's actually a ton of black and minority people who are extremely successful that you don't hear about because of their political leanings and/or conservative beliefs. I've been fed that bullshit my whole life. I would recommend you check out some Malcolm X videos.
Sorry but no. I grew up in the ghettos as a black man. The only people who are stuck there are the ones blaming others. Saying white privilege is a thing should be borderline hate speech.

It's definitely real and those who choose deny its existence are ignorant.
How so?
@Rangers. . . 👁👄👁
No logical retort, as expected
@Rangers The fact you get to say "how so?" Means you have white privilege. . .
Again, no sunstantive response and a simply repeated ridiculous claim made by someone else that you've given no critical thought to and use as a substitute for your absence of facts and information. I'm not surprised
@Rangers Oh the ignorance is ✨strong✨ on you luv, I'd pray for you if that was my thing.

I’m bi-racial and I think white privilege is entirely fake.

This is a public forum for discussion. Didn’t need your permission lol.

No such thing exists. Young people have been brainwashed by teachers and professors into believing this nonsense
Not really its just benefit of the doubt. Thats all it is. The financial one could be arguees about black baby boomers and maybe the early gen x. But everybody else.
White people the new niggas in my opinion unless you a certain of white
White privilege is a myth perpetuated by those who hate white people.
Yes, it's real. As a white male with a non-white girlfriend and many non-white friends and colleagues, I can see that I'm sometimes privileged.
Yeah of course it is and the people in this comments should stop being butthurt over being told they are privileged.
Nobody is calling you a racist oder thinks that it's your fault for being white. Just acknowledge that it exists and move on with your life , nothing will change.
If "White" Privilege exits then Black privilege exists too... change my mind.
It does. In rap idustry
No it isn't. If white privilege was real then Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal, Shaun King, etc would not have to pretend to be something other than white to get a leg up, they would just be able to say they're white and be showered in privilege for it.
no not where I live. I think white privilege is real in certain areas in Eastern Europe and Nebraska
💯 at first I read the title and was like wtf, but good one
No, it's complete nonsense and unequivocally people who try to say I have it are speechless when they learn how my life actually is
Yes, you get no excuses and have to own your mistakes, can't play the victim card. It's not I didn't get the job bc racism, its I didn't get the job bc i dont have the skills i better find a way to get them.
There's no such thing as white privilege. It's a made-up concept pushed by cultural Marxists.
The Irony that cultural Marxism itself is a made up concept to act as a scapegoat shouldn't be lost on anyone:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlrpSpwxgWw&t=739s
@Ad_Quid_Orator more bullshit.
Are you a marxist orator?
@joeldalton Oh really, show me the evidence that cultural marxists made up "white privilege".
@SuccessfulHornDog No I am not.
@Ad_Quid_Orator which form of government would you most prefer?
@SuccessfulHornDog I'm a social democrat (private means of production for most goods and services with a social safety net).
@Ad_Quid_Orator Thats what the US has now but I will assume that the exact level of the safety net is what people disagree with you over
@SuccessfulHornDog Yep, also an unconventional view I have is that we should nationalize the financial sector.
@Ad_Quid_Orator does that emulate any other country? China? others?
@Ad_Quid_Orator ‘white privilege’ is a made up term. It has no scientific definition. It’s never been scientifically proven to exist. Would you have white privilege if you moved to Nigeria?
We can see it in the form of unfair sentencing for crimes (African Americans usually have a higher probability of being convicted and face longer sentences for the same crimes):
www.aclu.org/.../...parities_aclu_submission_0.pdf
And how African Americans are economically disenfranchised by discriminatory policies:
www.chicagofed.org/.../wp2017-12
@Ad_Quid_Orator you didn’t answer my question. You have a hard time doing that.
I already showed you that white people have advantages (privileges) black people don't.
@Ad_Quid_Orator In nigeria? Do you have white privilege if you go to Nigeria? It’s a yes or no question.
Not necessarily but here in the US I do.
@Ad_Quid_Orator So it’s a made up term. Otherwise it would apply everywhere. So cue the Marxist theory based around culture... hmmmm...
A term doesn't have to be "applicable everywhere" to not be made up.
Sit down, you're dizzy from all that spinning.
That's of course notwithstanding that if you were born in the US you have a lot more opportunities than you would if you were born in Nigeria.
@Ad_Quid_Orator yeah it does. Gravity doesn’t depend on what country you live in. Marxists being evil cunts is universal.
OK well by that logic discrimination pre-1965 wasn't real because it didn't exist in every country.
It's definitely real, but I would also say that it tends to be more real for women than men. White men tend to experience fewer problems as a result of being white, while women actually experience active improvements because of their whiteness.
If it was real why is Barack Obama the first black president? And not the first mixed president? Why is it that people who are mixed except the label of black instead of white?

Not where am from (middle east) and not where am at the moment either (Sweden).
Sorry but no. I grew up in the ghettos as a black man. The only people who are stuck there are the ones blaming others. Saying white privilege is a thing should be borderline hate speech.
