Can you recognise the fact that being white makes you priveleged?

I disagree. Being financially secure is what makes a person privileged. These days being white and poor is even worse than being black and poor because at least you can blame racism if you're black.

You are much more likely to be poor if you're black because of systemic racism so your argument is very white and privileged. Only white people who are privileged think that whites lacking privilege is worse than blacks lacking privilege.

That's completely irrelevant if you happen to be white and poor you moron.

There is no systemic racism, at least in the United States. There are no laws towards blacks that other races don't have to abide to. You're much more likely to be poor if you don't work or made bad choices in life.

Not in Puerto Rico.

because of systemic racism

Pretty simplistic to look at one variable and hang your explanation on it. High school dropouts are more poor because of arrogant educated people holding em down, right? Or maybe generational factors play more of a role...

Why does systematic racism not keep poor black immigrants poor? They tend to do well after they are here for a bit. Also, why does systematic racism disappear for black people after they are married? Hmm

Bottom line, you want to be a victim so you can avoid responsibility for your failures in life. "White privilege", "White supremacy" is the new victim card you can play to justify your lack of accomplishments. Before you start blaming external sources, look at yourself and the decisions you've made in life that led to you being where you are today. I believe the latter is the biggest reason you're where your at and unhappy with your lot.

Wow. You far right retards really have invented your own alternative reality, haven't you? The system is supposed to be there to serve humanity you offensively stupid idiot. People don't fail the system. The system fails people.

The "bottom line" is that you are looking for a plausible excuse why other people have less material things than you do, and are willing to invoke any irrational and stupid explanation which confirms your own narcissistic belief structure. You literally feel like you are "better" than other people because you have had some measure of success.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why capitalism is such a divisive and self-destructive method of running an economy. It fortifies hate, delusion and tribal class divisions, vilifies the poor and mythologises the rich.

It's societies fault! Yes, why not? Why take personal responsibilty when you can blame someone/something else? How convenient.

No being white doesn't makes you privileged, actually our qualities and skills are important which makes us privileged. Being white but of no use is worthless and being black but very useful and skilful would be worthy and highly privileged

The only form of actual privilege is good choice privilege. If you've made good choices in life, then you're ensured to have a good life and future. If you made bad choices in life, then that's a different issue.

You are genuinely an idiot. Please shut up indefinitely.
