It exists but not to the extent most people think. Its mostly a sub-conscious thing me thinks. We dont have to fault white people reaping the benefits of it, because its not their problem.


Identifying something isn't blaming people. Y'all getting defensive is y'all's problem.

It's a privilege to not be immediately judged or discounted based on your race. Hence why white felons are more hired than black college graduates.

Yea it exists but it's much more nuanced than "being white means you have a great life and don't have to work for anything".

But white privilege as an attack is used by self hating (often just misinformed youth that want to fit in and don't think their rhetoric will ever come back to haunt them) white people or jealous minorities that want to hate on whites simply for existing.

Yes. I can't see why anybody in the US think otherwise. Yeah there's white people who are in bad situations but they still deal with less obstacles than if they were a minority in that situation. We're not trying to downplay your success if you worked hard for it but just want you to understand that we didn't get the same opportunities as easily as you received them.

It probably does, but personally I would never take advantage of it. It makes me feel like crap to get something over someone else based on something as trivial as skin color. Fuck that, that aint right man.

If you're white you're already benefiting from it. You're not gonna be racially profiled by police or prejudiced by a hiring manager.

Yea that poll wasn't as black and white (no pun intended) as he's making it seem right now.

The poll boiled down to a debate of if black people have more privilege in certain aspects of life than whites. One of those privileges is being able to get away with openly racist hate speech that would cause a white person to lose their job and be demonized by the left media if they said something even half as racist as a black person can.

Society is full of different demographics with different privileges. When you only focus on the majority privilege while acting like the minorities can only ever be disadvantaged and nothing more, you create a hostile environment where people only resents each other.

LOL.

I like the part where neither one backs up your claim. It's still disturbing info but not nearly on the level of your claim.


Both black and Hispanic men were less likely to receive a positive response from employersincluding a call back or email for an interview or a job offercompared with white men.
Men with criminal records were more likely than women with criminal records to receive a negative response from employers.
White men with a criminal record had more positive responses than black men with no criminal record.


Mope.

No problem, I don't think a lot of white people understand what everyday racism is like. They get defensive and start deflecting by bringing up all the times Twitter has called them 'whiteboy'. White people don't get racially profiled for their race, discriminated for their race, have stereotypical caricatures about their race or face as much discrimination as any minority in their daily lives . Even the white stereotypes don't have any detrimental impacts on their culture or well-being. No white kid is growing up feeling ashamed or restricted cause of their race.

Ok so racist name calling and demonizing from the media is ok then right? Nobody is being hurt right?

Then why do minorities complain about being called names?

Also lol at "no white kid is growing up feeling ashamed about their race". I guess you didn't hear about this phenomenon called white guilt and self hate that only affects western whites and no other racial groups.

I wonder what your argument is against that. Where does white guilt come from if it's not learned from society?

White people aren't being demonized for their race. The name calling is done by people with less power than them. If you compare their struggle of being called white online against the hardships of minorities, they don't hold the same weight.

Do you honestly think being called a white boy/girl or any other white slur to describe white people is equivalent to the history of systematic oppression used against minorities? The slurs were used to make them seem non-human and to elevate the white race.

White kids are doing fine. This white guilt isn't prevalent as you make it seem. How many white people get up feeling scared or ashamed just for being white. If that's the only negative drawback that's exclusive to white people, it's really nothing compared to any minority race.
