Is White Privilege Real?

Whites are super oppressed!

Side Score: 29

Yes, but it'a a self inflicted mental condition caused by a misplaced feeling of guilt for being superior. As white people were behind almost every invention or discovery that benefits mankind and goes to make up the modern world in which we live there are some ''apologetic' whites who feel embarrassed at the stupidity of blacks who seem incapable of governing themselves or producing the life saving and pain relieving drugs and medicines which are needed so badly in Black Africa. The fact that blacks prosper best when they live in nations which are either exclusively or predominately governed by whites is not the fault of the whites.

No, it isn't. White people don't have white privilege because it doesn't exist anymore. You know when it did exists? The goddamn 1800s. Voting was extended only to white males, mostly with land until Jacksonian democracy came around. Sorry, but your stupid, incoherent rhetoric about how privileged the white males is, is false.

It's real in specific times, places, and situations, but it's not automatically there for everyone who is white.

Likewise, though it is less common, there are specific times, places, and situations where it's a privilege to be hispanic, or asian, or black, or a woman.

The most accurate post in this thread so far.

Side: Yeah, repent crackas!

I agree. I wish there were more people willing to help and wanting to make a difference in the lives of people who really are born without the privileges that so many of us enjoy. I wish there were more people of either race to be there for those who have to go through that type of life. Education, for one, and not a fear of death around you at such a young age, when you can't really do anything to leave or change your circumstance much.

Side: Yeah, repent crackas!

Yes it does exist. Is it used all the time ? No. But it does not exist .

Yes, it's true, thanks to blacks shooting each other in the streets when they leave their baby-mommas in the hood prostituting themselves to pay for their dope in a futile effort to forget their stupidity, I have an automatic advantage when I walk into a mom and pop shop asking for a job.

Side: Yeah, repent crackas!

Check your privilege. Everything white people accomplish is only thanks to the privileges they are given by the system. Only minority accomplishments count.

Are you truly that IGNORANT ? Let's take a look if we may ! Now how would the 1st Mulatto POTUS be elected if it wasn't for votes from White Progressives ? How would minority businesses make it if it didn't have white customers ?

That's right. Everything that the Black man has accomplished is because white people gave it to him. That's not racist at all. Do you have a confederate flag up on your wall?

Side: Yeah, repent crackas!

All accomplishments count. You think there aren't white people who have struggled? The problem is that the media doesn't report enough stories of people's real lives and what they've sacrificed to attain the place that they are in. I'm not saying that people aren't privileged, but I am saying that having an all-encompassing attitude that they've done nothing to get where they are, and they don't have a real story of pain and suffering in their own lives is false. Do you think that minorities hold the patent on pain? Suffering is a human condition, and something we can all connect with. I suggest that you open yourself up to the pain of someone other than your own race, and see that it exists elsewhere and with great amounts. If the whites in America are too rich for you, look up the suffering that happens overseas in different countries.

White people's struggle is much less than that of colored people. The only reason that whites are not as poor as blacks is that they benefited from slavery and discrimination. Whites didn't earn their wealth, they stole it out of the sweat and toil of the black man. If there is ever to be justice for past wrongs all white people should be taxed 15% of their income every year for a century to repay colored people.

So you belive there aren't privileges given to only black people? That's far from true. White privilege is a joke, does it exist sure, are there scenarios where black privilege exists? Absolutely, I know of a few scholarships a white child with the same educational background don't qualify for! Instead of blaming others and white privilege for the problems in the black community. I stead look inside the community, what can you as people do to change the perception of blacks? What is currently being done that makes it seem as though the majority aren't upstanding citizens? I don't agree that all or even most blacks fit those stereotypes we all hear about. But there comes a time when rioting, and burning down communities just helps to give truth to all.the stereotypes you claim to hate.

Yes. And worse, white folk will rarely recognize/understand it, because we are so used to it, we think everybody lives this way.

If you are not of asian descent and move to China don't you think that people of asian descent will have a less hard time dealing with a cultural bias than a caucasian?

If someone wants to dismiss white privilege they also have to dismiss this idea. Certainly white privilege exists in many societies that hold power in the western world just as other privileged groups do in other societies.

Arguments against white privilege often present an idea that either people are superior than the other group or that the other group is inferior in some way which is actually an example of this bias of white privelge at work rather than denying privileges existence.

Obviously people can be blind to this, a fish has trouble seeing the water it swims in.

Side: Yeah, repent crackas!

Just wanted to say..."Yeah, repent crackas?" Hilarious. lol

Hmmm. Yes, I currently hold the stance that white privilege is real. But as far as I'm aware (I'm under the assumption that black people as a whole generally have a lower income) I think that nowadays it's generally more of the income issue, an issue that started with enslavement in the first place. Whereas there are generations of whites that exist that had the opportunity to build wealth, the black population in America in general started out with nothing and therefore has had a much bigger issue with getting educations, accumulating and keeping wealth, and escaping the ill effects of coming from a more poverty-driven situation, such as being taken advantage of and encouraged to embrace faulty forms of power in the forms of violence, greed, and animosity towards fellows and world.

One could argue that today's world in essence works against the empowerment of blacks in the sense that it encourages accumulation of prestige through objects rather than personal accomplishment and growth; a common problem for us all.

This Cracka thinks the whole notion of white privilege is whacka! In this day and age, anyone of any race who is motivated to become educated and self-reliant has an equal chance at becoming self-sufficient. The notion of White Privilege is just another liberal tool to help their enslaved, uneducated minority voters to blame anyone else but themselves for their strife, rather that take responsibility for their own circumstances.

I don't believe that anyone who grows up in the ghetto, black or white or anything, really has an equal chance at all of succeeding. The mindset that one grows up around in such settings do all the encouraging to lead this youth down a path of destruction and apathy, and rejection of our a culture they feel they can never be a part of or be worthy of.

And I don't believe you know at all that of which you speak... I know firsthand, coming from a family from the Bronx, what it's like to be poor. I experienced it, lived through it, and motivated myself from it. Don't tell me that there aren't equal chances, you just have to be determined to make something of yourself and push forward despite the obstacles.

I agree, but this is NOT evidence of white privilege. Rich privilege, perhaps?

Side: Whites are super oppressed!

This white guilt, white privilege, white supremacy crap is all about diminishing white people's accomplishments and excusing black people's lack of progress by playing them as victims, which they seem love. It's a complete load of crap.

All the Progressive Elitist can do is play their voter base as victims. But remember that shows the Progressive Elitist as compassionate and caring.

I would say in certain situations this is true. There seems to be a lot of belief that it is 'our fault' for being white. But humans are inherently designed to designate blame outwardly in a 'violent' reaction instead of enacting a logical form of change for their lives. If they were white it would be no different. The problem I think is a general lack and loss of morality given experiences of life that overpower and influence the life on the err of justice. It's a rare person that sees the world as fair and themselves as able or willing to play the game of sacrifice, when their lives have been torn apart and they see those around them walk unaffected with more love, time, and in essence, privilege. It's not all the same for everybody of course. But if you grew up without anything but material love with a lack of time and dedication towards your life, and an unconscious feeling of resentment...you might be there too.
