It's almost like white people literally didn't let black people become rich until ~50 years ago... Orlando_Jordan posted... Are you going to say with a straight face that a poor white guy living in a trailer in Alabama is more privileged than Kanye West? Kanye? Probably in some ways. Some non-famous, rich black guy. For sure. Im very curious to know how someone making 15k a year living in a trailer is better off than someone making $200k+ a year just because theyre white. I dont really understand how his works, so please explain. The white dude saying something racist probably won't lose his job. The black guy protesting police brutality might. just to be clear, I disagree with this entirely I do feel there are countervailing privileges at work here, and I think the assumption that white trash is 'more privileged' than any black person is very flawed it is true that they have white privilege that will help them in many situations, but that is not the same as being 'more privileged' which is obviously hard to quantify... but wealth certainly plays into it as well --- But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you. <cite>Balrog0 posted [p:907365847] in I don't be...
