Does white privilege exist in America?

[Anonymous]

An example is how bandaids are made to match skin tones of white peoples but there are no bandaids to match black peoples skin tones

Yea

Nah

[BeMuse]

You act like White people have to do everything for you. If you think making Black skin colored band aids is a good business model, then make it happen. No one ever stopped you from starting that business and selling brown band-aids to black people. You sound like a weak bitch looking for special privileges.

[Asker]

You brought my people here. We didn’t ask to come here. Either take us all back or give us equality.

[BeMuse]

No actually I didn't. My family wasn't even in the USA until after the Civil War just like the large majority of White people in the USA. Most Europeans immigrated to the USA after slavery. Even during slavery only 3% of the population owned slaves and only a very small aristocracy owned shipping companies that transported slaves. You're dumb as shit.

[BeMuse]

On top of that all Blacks were given the option to go to Liberia. Those that wanted to go, got a free ride. Those that wanted to stay, did so. If you're mad about missing the boat, blame your family. It was their decision.

[BeMuse]

Between 1820 and 1864, only 11,000 Blacks emigrated to Liberia (4,000 free blacks and 7,000 former slaves) The rest of the Black population said, fuck that I'm not going back to Africa America is great.

[BeMuse]

You're family has been here longer than mine. What the fuck have you done for yourselves? My grandmother's entire family slaved in coal mines during the great depression for 35 cents a day getting black lung and yet she died a multimillionaire. What's your excuse?

[BeMuse]

Damn band-aid colors be holding me down...

[OlderAndWiser]

SO you just say something and act as if it is true and that makes it easy to feel sanctmonious, but. . .

They have different color band-aids now. Took them long enough lol. But yes, it does exist. Not in the sense of white people are always well off and such. In the sense of having privileges that POC don't have solely on the color of skin

[JamesDiaz11]

Like what?

[Anonymous]

There are definitely deeper shades in bandages lol I have them myself.

[Opinion Owner]

They’re called bandaid ourtone for reference but google could’ve showed you that.

[Asker]

They aren’t available in Walmart

[Opinion Owner]

Target has them so does Amazon

[Asker]

Ok but even if they do what about everything else? Do you believe in white privilege

[Opinion Owner]

I do believe in white privilege, I was just talking about the bandaids, which nye wasn’t the best reference point. There’s so many others out there.

[DaveJord]

Nope its a made up thing to make people feel better about these selves and claim victim status. Its actually a very racist construct, and like 99% of white people shut down and quit listening the second its used. Like literally we don't want to hear about it, because we are not having a meaningful conversation at that point.

[NamerOfStars]

...

I'm pretty sure even the most egregious race hustler could find bigger problems than THAT.

And if bandages matching your skin color is THAT big a deal, what exactly is stopping you from starting up a business to do just that? It's not like there are laws against it.

[Wade12345]

Nope. I used to work as a tax preparer. The blacks are the ones with all the privileges they get 6000 to 8000 dollars free money on their tax returns every year, which takes two white tax payers to pay for the free "refundable credits" every one black "tax payer" files.

It should be illegal. It's THEFT.

[ArtemisSilver]

Not really, beyond a trivial level of ingroup preference that everyone has. At least where active racism isn't tolerated.

White people usually treat eachother like shit too, and people are usually self serving regardless of race. It's more of a socioeconomic issue.

You ever see two billionaires beefing over race? Of course not.

[Anonymous]

No white America are useless now. The women are 304 and the men are incels or dude bros. All of them are gay and complain about anxiety.
Indians, Chinese and Mexicans are kicking there ass

The last privilege group is baby boomers and gen x.

But millennial gen z and gen Alpha are all weak white people.

[Asker]

What is 304

[Grubhub]

It always. I myself am Latino Dominican but some people think I’m African American because in this society if you’re too dark you can’t be Latin.


I don’t think there would be colorism in any culture if it were for the white man and slavery. My mother is lighter than me and I guess she has more Hispanic features so I actually had a white man ask me if she was my real mother. How typical for a white man. Never seems to amaze me

[Sargentcaptain]

Hwyte privilege is when bandaid? We've reached the pinnacle of 1st world 'problems'. Not to mention, having brown bandaids is just stupid since it only makes it more difficult to see when it's bled over.

[FreyaRed]

I have a green band aid. Maybe it's made for aliens?

[Anonymous]

No white privilege does not exist. Nonwhite people have just as many opportunities as white people. The question is, will the nonwhites seek to achieve these opportunities or will they keep using the race card if nothing goes their way?

[Asker]

Ever heard of slavery? Red lining? Systemic racism? Yup, you have no idea

[Opinion Owner]

As for slavery, white people today are not responsible for what happend over a hundred years ago. And this redlining and systemic racism are all false. Like I said previously, nonwhite people are not deprived of anything. Yup I have not just and idea, but a fact. WHITE PRIVILEGE DOES NOT EXIST

[Asker]

Yes, if you benefited from slavery then you have to use your benefits to create equality.

people who think it doesn’t actually don’t know what it means. it’s so misunderstood. men generally dismiss it do to make ego and pride. or just plain ignorance.

[hostboy__fastestlaps]

Speaking for the USA: White privilege may be real and alive in certain places of the South, but for the most part it's just an exaggeration for emotion and victimblaming. It's absolutely nonexistent in places like California and New York.

What the heck is white (and all other colours) privilege? That that mean whites are allowed to get rights coloured folks don’t? Dang, that’s so racist.

[Stoner710]

It did prior to 1964 but in 2022 white privilege does not exist

[Dargil]

Only if you are a democrat. Others call it "merit".

[exitseven]

No, usually if you are white you go to the end of the line.

[FunkyMonkee]

Only in the severely demented minds of the loony lefties!!

[JohnK123]

No… lol I got no privileges

middle class people are the worst off… rich get whatever they want and the government funds the poor

[Snakeyes7]

If bandaids are the best example they can come up with, then it does not exist.

[driven159]

band aids are tan in color or have cartoon themes on them

[OddBeMe]

Yes becsuse we’re tribal. Even blacks with lighter skin tone have it better that darker ones.

[Anonymous]

Because when you’re injured and bleeding, color matters. 🙄

[joeldalton]

There’s no such thing as white privilege.

[LimitedBenefits101]

Nope it doesn't only fools think that

[SmokinAces2000]

Yes but bandaids are not an example

[KrakenAttackin]

Idiot.
