Congratulations

You bought into the greatest scam since income tax, social security and No Child Left Behind.

Painting any one race as superior is how we got Hitler and the Holocaust. But rather than fix actual problems, we listen to morons that spout the same "superior/weak race" BS and political wokeness.

You just gave racists people in positions of authority more power with this belief system. Don't blame them, blame X, Y, Z

Wake up and see that we all bleed red

What is the significance of this? Does it mean I owe reparations for things I didn't do? Am I supposed to feel guilty? Aren't there also some advantages associated with certain minorities? It seems to me that this concept just perpetuates racial divisions.

Not really. I'm half white tbh when I tell people that in London, I don't get a good response! I've never experienced racism except towards my English side! Lol

Maybe when you’re younger the girl worker says what a cute kid and look at his eyes maybe you’ll get a free ice cream cone or if you don’t like something maybe you’ll get a replacement or your money back from the working girl but when it comes to saving your house or other serious issues, I don’t care what you look like or what race you are business is business for them although when I was in my 20s, this supervisor guy was given a choice who was going to stay inside to work that night or outside to work and they put the other guy with the other race outside and kept me inside The other guy complained about it I was happy. I got to see the sporting event. The Miami Heat.

I dislike the term "privilege" because it implies getting something undeserved. Rather I think there are a lot of situations where nonwhites are NOT getting what everyone deserves.
Fair treatment is not a "privilege" it should be an expectation for everyone.

It is a privilege being white, thank you. Europeans forged the greatest civilization to have ever existed on Earth and no amount of hatred or propaganda or censorship will ever change that. A civilization so wonderful that millions of non-white across the world would rather move to our horribly oppressive and racist nations than stay put where they are. I will always be proud of my history, culture, and race.

slatyb · Answer

I think it's an advantage in many parts of the world. For many white people in the US, it's just the advantage of our ancestors being able to accumulate wealth while blacks were prevented from doing so.

I never got any special treatment for having a white privilege card. I often was at the end of the line when it came to getting into college, getting financial aid, getting a job and getting government benefits.

Dargil · Answer

Aside from the present woke insanity, I will agree that there are some limited advantages, but, until Obama set fires, race relations had vastly improved in 50 years.

Sasahara · Answer

Nope. Its only s privilege if you are a leftist. If you treated leftist minorities the way they treat right leaning ones the same leftists would be amoung the first to call you a bigot /racist / -phobe.

Pohjolan · Answer

My ancestors never got to gather wealth from slavery or colonialism. If I could exchange my "white privilege" for cash I would do so.

Surely · Answer

Just as soon as I begin to feel the white privilege. I will be sure to let you know. Being turned down for a job because my skin wasn’t dark enough. . Doesn’t feel like a privilege.

DarkLegacy · Answer

None of those benefits are fact, they are myths. And how could it be a privilege, a privilege is something you earn.

DextroShade · Answer

Thanks to the woke mind virus every thing you listed is outdated and the opposite is true for many of those points.

InsecureLivesMatter · Answer

The Patriot Act normalized and deradicalized the bullshit belief that white privilege is real. And I'm not even politically conservative

Staximus · Answer

Being white is not a privilege when you're surrounded by people who aren't white.

These are advantages that you didn't seek out or sign up for.

Not really because I was mostly around other white people when younger and they didn’t treat me any better because we were the same color
