Which can be acquired ethically, so you can't just be against all rich people.

Anything can be a privilege depending on the scenario and situation. Some have more advantages than others

Female privilege is a real thing, especially in American courtrooms.

How so? I'm confused as to how males have so much privilege yet everything is the white male's fault these days.

Also curious where tf my white privilege was when I had to ride the bus, work under the table sales jobs and pay my own way through college. Much like someone who isn't white.

How many CEOs and leaders and directors in companies in the US are white males?

Whats the percentages compared to rest of the population?

Do police percieve a white male with the same threat as a black male?

Didnt say white guys have everything handed to them or they all live easy lives or they dont have to work for their stuff. So dont paint me as one of those people please

How many CEOs, leaders, directors, etc being white males means fuck all. You could argue that is class privilege.

Percentages for what? How much money they make, how many white ceos compared to black ceos? I'm not sure what you're asking.

Yes and no for the third question. If the guy is white trash and strung out on meth then yeah you bet they look the same. If a black person is pulled over with a clean car wearing a suit he will also get the same privilege as a white person in the same situation. You could make the argument that they don't blah blah blah that's not true. But how many African Americans have you seen or heard about getting ripped from their car at gunpoint and told get on the ground as soon as the officer approaches? Probably none. This works a little different if you're wearing colored dickies around your knees and have a felony on your record. It actually works really similar for when police approach a house in a shady part of town on a domestic violence call. Black, white, Asian or purple it's a domestic violence call and you'll prob be dealing with shitty people. Otherwise their wouldn't be a domestic violence call to respond to lol. Not even gonna bring up the 13% (about 7 actually for males) of the population commits a good half on all violent crimes in the US.

And I'm not painting you as one of those people but to just assume someone has freebies and a general EZ mode life because of their race is stupid. Not saying you think that, but it gets real fucking annoying being a college graduate making decent money and people assuming you had shit handed to you or somehow had an easier path because of your skin color.

Fun fact: my starting point was a low socioeconomic status, I didn't get to where I was because I had things easier or because I'm white.

Rofl, yeah I got carried away.

Take away point is regardless of race, being a shit head will lead to unfavorable police encounters

And everyone has a different starting point and challenges, but let's not pretend that race plays a bigger role than socioeconomic status.

This, though I'll agree that wealth is the biggest one.

There's definitely a privilege between genders as well as races.

For example, we all know if a woman hits a man and the guy hits back more than likely the guy is the one going to jail. It's fucked up and I've talked to people about this but everyone just kinda accepts it.

There's tons of different privileges allowed and not allowed to people depending on things other than money.

How many white males don't have those positions? Hint: most don't

You don't have to be offended to actually acknowledge reality.
