    No my friends, "white privilege" does not exist?

    Why? I'll tell you why.


    Privilege, means something extra. Something special. Something out of the ordinary. Something one would not ordinarily expect.

    What sorts of things are refered to as being examples of "white privilege"?

    treated respectfully by law enforcement.

    treated respectfully by employers, neighbors, the govt.

    Feeling like you can achieve in life, try to make it, try to reach high.

    Knowing that if you work hard, you can attain what you desire.

    These are things refered to as "white privilege".

    My friends, this is not privilege!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is the way its supposed to be for everyone!!!! Its the way its supposed to be for all Americans!!!

    Such a state of affairs is not privilege, its simply being treated like a human being!!!!!


    What is happening, however, is that blacks and other minorities are often treated like second-class citizens. They are not afforded the guaruntees and rights that they deserve, as American citizens. They are treated, like foreigners.

    That's the way we should be framing these discussions.

    Not about the so-called "privileges" of all white Americans, but how non-whites are treated like second-class citizens.

    so in some sense, white privilege does exist, even for poor whites.

    cause they are treated with a certain minimum level of respect, tolerance, and courtesy by cops, store owners, employers, that non-whites often dont get.

    Interesting that you felt the need to update an almost 4 year old post to make sure you are sharing the current sensibilities of the twitter mob.

    Worried about getting Joy Reided?

    White privilege is a blatant racist lie

    Class privilege on the other hand is universal truth

    just like those who try to hide their racism behind science, denying it doesn't make you not a racist...if it walks like a duck, quacks like, and looks like a duck, then it's probably a duck...or in this case, a racist...

    the irony here is while you claim you're not a racist you use a white supremacist insignia based on NAZI symbolism as your avatar...you're a definitely a "duck"...

    "White privilege" is a racist term generated by racists. What it really means is "democracy". It's the 13% whining that the 74% always get their way.

    the center is based on the nazi swastika not the imperial cross, it's a poorly veiled attempt to legitimize a racist agenda.

    so are you saying non-whites are never mistreated simply due to their skin color or culture?

    Nope, never said that. Are you saying whites are never mistreated due to their skin color and/or culture or that you just don't care if they are?

    for the most part white people are treated with a basic level of courtesy, benefit of the doubt and professionalism that many non-whites are not.

    LOL, this is BS. A cop pulls over a beat up truck driven by a hill billy or yokel, they are already presumed to be on meth. A black cop pulls over a white guy yelling racist stuff, no matter what he drives, will treat the white guy with more hostility than an average "yes sir, no sir" person. It about the individual. Think about all the times blacks have encounters with cops, and no one is shot. Happens on a much higher percentage than when a white guy meeting with cops.

    I know, I've seen and heard the racism my entire life, denial of that from many people reveals what side of the issue they're on...
