AmericaTheBrave posted...silentwing26x posted...AmericaTheBrave posted...You don't think being born white in a white majority country had some innate benefits, even little ones? I feel you are being too emotional and feel too personally attacked to look at this objectively. Tell me how I can assuage your fears. Do you feel white privilege invalidates your accomplishments? It does not. Everything you have achieved in your life is no doubt through your own hard work and you earned every bit of it. White Privilege has nothing to do with that and no one can take that from you. All white privilege does is explain some discrepancies for the general population. --- |
| Topic | CNN defends Antifa. Again. |
| AmericaTheBrave 08/30/18 10:38:18 PM #36 | CNN is a terrible network that will do anything for ratings. They are trying to tie Antifa into racism because racism gets the biggest ratings for them. You'd think the fact that active domestic terrorists operating on US soil and getting away with it would be a juicy enough story, but apparently not. --- |

So that explains why some people might have a hard time seeing their privilege. If you are saying "so?" as in you don't care, then that is fine, I cannot force you to care, but you should perhaps depart this thread as you will only get in the way if you do not care to discuss it in good faith. --- |

Even if you don't believe they are worth mentioning, they are still there and it affects people. White Privilege isn't about minimizing achievements, it just explains discrepancies. Anyone who is trying to use white privilege as a weapon against white people (of which there are many, I sadly have to admit, tumblr certainly proves that) is wrong and misusing this academic term. --- |

| Topic | All groups have privileges |
| AmericaTheBrave 08/30/18 6:31:08 PM #1 | It all depends on situation and location. There are some areas where being female is more advantageous (such as divorce or jobs such as nursing/daycare) There are some areas where being male is more advantageous (jobs requiring physical labor, being promoted to leadership positions, most media being tailored to them, etc.) There are some areas where being white is more advantageous (police interactions, job callbacks, housing, etc.) There are some areas where being black is more advantageous (sports tryouts, college acceptance due to AA) All types of privileges exist and it's silly to say they don't. The argument should be which is most pervasive and I think it can be reasonably argued that White Privilege is the main one in American society. --- |

| AmericaTheBrave 08/30/18 5:53:05 PM #78 | YukihoHagiwara posted... you know you could just start using a different term that's more clear on what you mean, more accurately describe the racial integration into positions of power over the course of a nations history in other societies which paradoxically allows for the continued existence of such a thing and limits how successful those of different races to those in power can be, not just in this society. you'd also kill two birds with one stone, you'd have people understanding it's not directed at them, and you'd have others perpetuating that belief stop doing so by misusing the term. how about "historical racial society instillment?" Conservatives are always saying "facts over feelings." If their feelings are hurt over the name "white privilege", then they should suck it up. White privilege is a fact. Or do they agree with liberals that feelings matter after all and renaming terms is good? --- |

| AmericaTheBrave 08/30/18 5:50:51 PM #77 | If you can recognize female privilege (which I'm sure this majority male forum does), why is it so hard to recognize white privilege? Homeless women tend to get more pity than homeless men. That's a female privilege. Names like "Ben" are less likely to have their job applications skipped over than "Jamal" or "Carlos". That's a white privilege. Does that always happen? No. But it happens enough to cause a discrepancy. White privilege describes that discrepancy. No need to feel attacked. It's just a sociological thing. --- |

AmericaTheBrave posted...AmpV3 posted...What's to say they wouldn't have been like native americans and stuck to their current tribal lifestyles? Food shortages and famines would be problems absent of colonialism. In fact, it's probably why Ethiopia never got bigger than it did because it's such a drought-prone region. Invasion and Warlords would have been more "organic" if it didn't follow colonialism. After all, every continent had problems with invasions and warlords. And a lot of those positives of colonialism don't necessarily need colonialism to have been implemented. Regular exchange of knowledge could have happened (and often did prior to it). Abyssea posted... what I don't get is if all life originated in Africa, why isn't it the most advanced place in the world? wouldn't they have had the most time to develop it? Because real life isn't a game of Civilization. History is made of rises and falls. --- |

AmericaTheBrave posted...s0nicfan posted...AmericaTheBrave posted...@s0nicfan, @Anarchy_Juiblex do you deny Europeans had a hand in Africa's problems? Ethiopia is probably the most internationally relevant, having had contact with Ancient Rome, Ancient India, and Ancient Egypt. It's also one of the earliest Christian countries in the world (second after Armenia iirc). Mali was a center of Islamic learning. The Swahili coast was a major hub of the Indian Ocean trade network, a trade network that had been going on peacefully for hundreds of years before the Portuguese discovered it and disrupted it. Also interesting fact about Nubia (current day Sudan), it has far more pyramids than Egypt does. --- |

| AmericaTheBrave 08/28/18 12:33:27 PM #102 | AmpV3 posted... What's to say they wouldn't have been like native americans and stuck to their current tribal lifestyles? And to expand on that, what if they did? Are there problems due to having a tribal lifestyle or the politics and upending on their continent by imperialism? Like with Native Americans, if they had no contact with Europeans, and stayed tribal, at least they would have maintained continuity of the cultures and civilizations and could have progressed into something their own down the line, even if they never became a China. --- |

Do you really think Egypt is Africa's only civilization? What about Ethiopia? Nubia? Mali, Songhai, Ghana, Great Zimbabwe, Swahili city-states, Kongo etc. Remember Timbuktu? One of the richest cities and great repository of knowledge? That was in West Africa. Not every African society was tribal. --- |

| AmericaTheBrave 08/27/18 9:21:27 PM #62 | Fuparulez posted... But the continent was largely at a stone age level of civilization BEFORE that happened. No they weren't. They had many empires and traded things like gold, metal, salt, etc. Read up on Mali, Songhai, Great Zimbabwe, Somali city states, etc. Not every African society was tribesman or people in huts. EndOfDiscOne posted... Was Africa relatively well off pre-colonialism? Are you including the slave trade as "pre-colonialism"? Because the slave trade destabilized many African kingdoms (which then led to them being so easily colonized). --- |
