No because there is no such thing as white privilege and I reject all forms of Original Sin bullshit.

Ya I went to the store the other day and when I was leaving the cashier smiled at me and say have a nice day.
---

All the time.

Every store I walk into, the store, the manager walks up to me and hands me a nice stack of gift cards.

At strip clubs, the girls pay me to let them give me a lap dance.

When I get pulled over by the police, the officer asks me if he can do anything for me like give me a police escort.

I went into a bank last week to apply for a loan for house and the bank manager handed me a blank check with no interest rate and said that I can pay back the loan whenever or not at all.
---

Of course I do. I havent had a bad run in/been murdered by the police so yeah Im pretty fortunate.

Im white passing but my dick aint.

No, but I feel the privilege I have earned through hard work and perseverance.

You can't feel fictional idiocies conjured up by deranged racialist minds.

Yeah I feel my white privilege when I get up at 5:30 to go to work so I can pay a third of my wage to taxes which pay for all the natives to get their free shit, welfare, and child tax benefits.

So fucking privileged.

Lmao hahahahaha. This is some salt

I'm poor and I'm mentally ill, I have no privileged status. Class is a far bigger barrier than race, at least in the UK where I live.

Ive always found out that makes more sense than the MAGA way of things where a poor white guy feels he is buddy-buddy with a billionaire who has never lifted a finger in his entire life rather than his next door neighbor that lives the exact same way as he does but that happens to be black

I feel my American Privilege. People in Congo just don't have the same opportunities, for example.

That's what the people behind it all want, to turn the poor against each other on issues like race to distract from the fact they're all getting screwed by the rich.

The historically tried and true formula.

Yep. I try to apologize for being white as much as I can.

Fuck YES!!!

My WP is amazing!

I dont even have to interview for a job they just hire me AND pay me more just because Im in the WP club.

I dont even want to talk about the ladies they just throw themselves at me hoping Ill sweep them off their feet into my luxurious life of WP.

I cant even keep track of how often resuraunt owners come out and shake my hand after a meal and tell me not to worry about paying.

Even my car insurance is discounted as a result of my WP.

All my utilities are discounted as well.

I got pulled over by a cop last weekend for doing 140 in my WP sports car but once the cop ran my plates and realized my WP we had a laugh and talked about awesome it is to be white and all the privilege that comes along with it.

At night before I go to bed I pray to God and thank him so very much for blessing me with my WP and then I pull out a bundle of $100 bills and rub them all over my body before sexing my incredibly beautiful lady.

It just doesnt get much better than having WP.

Very true. And it is working.

Look at the typical MAGA voter: take away my healthcare, raise my taxes, poison my rivers and make me work surrounded by asbestos, I will take it if I can share videos of a Nazi punching out some liberal or minority and you call him fine person

"we're the same!"
"but you're privileged!"
"your problems aren't real only ours!"

No, because it's a made up concept.

Yes and I'm happy to have it

Suck it black people

No kidding. Like white people and minorities can't agree on something.

no, its something you have to be conscientious about mostly, in daily life you most likely will never notice it without reflection
---

Whenever I get pulled over by a police officer, I feel it goes a lot more smoothly than if I'd been black.

that's not true, it's just that statistical averages can demonstrate the effects of white privilege to people who otherwise won't accept that anything other than individual effort is meaningful to your life outcomes

I feel the rhetoric around race that is used is typically not productive and is more about making the person who is angry at white privilege feel better internally than to actually meaningfully change anything about the external world

Of course, the 'other side' in this scenario is even worse as shown by these silly caricatures of the concept of white privilege ITT

no they cant. disparities do not necessarily mean discrimination or unfairness. way more complex than that.

I said they can, not that they necessarily will. No amount of evidence will change most peoples minds, regardless of the quality.

I don't think most people know what white priviledge is.

It's something that you're born with. It's a passive thing and it has to do with other peoples perception of you, before they even know anything abou you.

It's not a universal thing, though. Like, in certain parts of the world, you'd probably be better off being a different race, as whites are particularly hated in those areas. Maybe in some areas of the Middle East, or maybe some areas of South Africa.

In America, tho, you probably are better off being white. It doesn't make you're problems go away, and doens't mean you'll have a great life. However, some people might look at you in a slightly positive light just because you're white. It's not your fault at all, it's just the way it is currently.

The best you can do is try your damnedest to treat everyone equally, and just hope that that behavior rubs off on others. Telling people about their white priviledge, especially people who are poor and/or uneducated, will just piss them off. Racial priviledge has a lesser effect for those who are already at the bottom of the barrel. Like a dirtly looking homeless person living under a bridge. It's unlikely that people will be looking at them in any type of positive way to begin with.

I personally feel that class priviledge is a greater barrier than race priviledge. Not saying that race priviledge should be ignored.

cherry picked stats don't prove a thing nor tell a story

pick a random black person that follows the law and a random white person that follows the law, you'll see they are treated exactly the same

you have no way of proving this, its just baseless speculation

i've seen plenty of white people i think look like low lives

plenty of black people that look like they are privileged
