MasterGakke 06/17/19 11:00:08 PM #8:	I once got pulled over with an expired license, expired plates, expired registration, expired inspection, a pound of marijuana, an eighth of shrooms, a couple hundred bucks worth of ketamine. I got a 128 dollar fine after I cried in front of the cop and promised to improve my life. If you ain't benefiting from white privilege you just suck at it. --- All generalizations are false, including this one. <cite>MasterGakke posted [p:923466944] in PSA: 'Whit...

Dragonblade01 06/17/19 11:37:31 PM #16:	I will say that on top of the fact that we're ultimately talking about privilege applied to relevant groups, the use of the term "white privilege" is often not made explicitly clear. The term itself doesn't really tell us much other than the fact that white people have some privilege in some situations. It's important when talking about it to be clear what privileges they have and where/when they have them. <cite>Dragonblade01 posted [p:923468446] in PSA: 'Whit...

Jeff AKA Snoopy 06/17/19 11:42:18 PM #17:	Most people dont use it to represent what it really means. Most political and economical institutions have systems set in place that are intrinsically beneficial to those who are not minorities. This institutional racism is what white privilege is. Basically white people start the rat race ahead of the pack. That being said, some people can start the race even ahead of that. If you come from money, if you are in certain parts of the world, etc. etc. --- https://i.imgtc.com/oKFWxht.jpg https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:923468585] in PSA: 'Whit...
