nemu 09/19/18 10:47:26 AM #59:	The problem comes with people trying to declare it as something on the individual level. No single person has privilege simply from being a certain skin color. Im fine with someone decalring it to be a thing when you group all people together by skin color. Though it is also a bit dishonest in that application too. It would make more sense to describe the groups that arent privileged. <cite>nemu posted [p:909049330] in do you fee...

Gheb 09/19/18 10:55:49 AM #65:	I mean it's not something I'm always thinking about. But I grew up in a upper-class house hold, in a affluent suburb in the only part of Kansas with good public schools. My dad was a CEO before he retired and made more than enough money to make sure our family of six was well-supported to so my mom could stop working and raise my three brothers and I. My parents paid for my college on the condition that I worked the entire time and maintained a 3.5 GPA so I was able to graduate without any college debt. That essentially set up the rest of my life. That isn't to say I didn't work hard to get what I have. That isn't to say I don't deserve what I have or that I feel bad for what I have, but I do acknowledge that I had a lot of things help me get there, things that I didn't earn but was born into. And thus my journey to this point of my life is very different than my black room mate who never knew his dad or my coworker who grew up in a poor farming household and had her parent go through a very toxic divorce. And it's not just white privilege. Economic privilege is just as prominent. But those two are rather intrinsically linked. For instance, my dad also grew up upper class as my grandfather was a successful banker. But my grandpa himself grew up poor, very poor. He lacked any real economic privilege. But he served in the Korean war and the went to Washington University in St Louis, a fairly esteemed private university, on the GI Bill. That same university finally desegregated the year before the Korean War ended. He very likely would not have gone to the same university if he wasn't white and his college education essentially set up his career and life and by extension my dad's life. Again that isn't to say my grandpa didn't work hard. He did he worked full time throughout college to support his wife and kids while going to college, but him being white offered him an opportunity he wouldn't have otherwise had and the generational impacts are still being felt today. Privilege isn't about being sorry for being white, financially well-off, attractive, able-bodied, or whatever. Just recognizing that there are aspects of your life that do to nothing you could control, gave you an advantage here and there. --- S** I have to stop doing that," Gheb said, as he lay back down and died again.* - Forgotten Love Chiefs are going to win the Super Bowl <cite>Gheb posted [p:909049759] in do you fee...

Though it is also a bit dishonest in that application too. It would make more sense to describe the groups that arent privileged. This used to be a much more common thread in these arguments, actually. Years ago, before race became such a public and controversial issue and politics was so omnipresent in our lives, when I had these conversations it was easier to get people to understand that black people are disadvantaged in our society. But the label white privilege was seen as divisive, because it makes it sound like white people get stuff unfairly whereas the 'real' problem is that black people get treated unfairly. So people would say we should call it black disadvantage or minority disadvantage instead. I think that is too easy. White people don't just get treated fairly, we get treated unfairly but in a way that favors us. This study is a good illustration of what I mean: https://qz.com/355345/white-privilege-is-real-scientists-say/ This research, Ayres believes, is some of the first to focus on discretionary accommodations. Thats important for two reasons. On a basic level, quantifying bias with data can go a long way toward convincing skeptical or ignorant. But, Ayres notes, it can be especially hard to find authority figures blatantly discriminating against minorities, something the Queensland researchers capture. Usually, its more subtle, involving the granting of extra privileges to non-minorities, not taking them away. The research was conducted in Queensland, Australia, a place its authors liken to the American South. The studys decision to study transportation was also an intentional nod to the now famous discrimination experienced by Rosa Parks on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955. The researchers found that out of 1,500 people, bus drivers were twice as likely to allow white subjects on the bus who claimed they didnt have the $3.50 fare required to ride (on average 72 versus 36%) than black test riders. Passengers of Indian or South Asian descent were allowed on the bus without the correct fare 51% of the time. East Asians meanwhile were allowed on the bus in percentages at or above those for whites.... Importantly, this most recent study also speaks to the intersectional nature of biaswhile white privilege tends to dominate the conversation, socioeconomic status can also be a factor, particularly for black people. Black subjects in the bus study wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase were more likely to be let on the bus without correct fare, for example. There was an even bigger jump for blacks wearing a military uniform: 77% were let on the bus ( for comparison, whites in army uniforms were accepted 97% of the time). The study did not draw any hard conclusions about the motivations of the bus drivers, but Mujcic said they were most likely motivated by unintentional biases driven by past experiences or actions involving the given racial/ethnic groups. --- 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:909049890] in do you fee...

BeyondWalls 09/20/18 12:56:26 PM #99:	Actually.... yes. Sometimes. Growing up in the South there was this sense that older white guys in charge were going to look after you. Not that they were going to do wrong by any minority kids. But they were definitely going to look out for you. I remember when I first went to get my license it was this small little DMV with an old Southern white cop. He reminded me of my Grandad. I failed the written part by like one question and he was like, oh, dont worry about that. Well just fix that one. I walked out that day with my license. Sometimes I wonder if a black kid would have fared as well in that situation. It really felt like white Southerners looking out for one another. I dont know that cop or his deal. But I feel like a Hispanic kid would have failed and got sent home. On the reverse side... Ive also felt the effects of black privilege. When I interviewed for my first internship in Maryland, I went through the process with my black friend. It was 100% clear that the guy in charge was only interested in hiring us because of my friend. It was definitely an interesting feeling being in Maryland and having that Southern-good-ole-boy atmosphere ripped away while at the same time the guy in charge was looking out for my black friend more than me. No incidents ever happened and its not like my friend really got any better treatment. Its hard to put into words. <cite>BeyondWalls posted [p:909120934] in do you fee...

Not that they were going to do wrong by any minority kids. But they were definitely going to look out for you. I remember when I first went to get my license it was this small little DMV with an old Southern white cop. He reminded me of my Grandad. I failed the written part by like one question and he was like, oh, dont worry about that. Well just fix that one. I walked out that day with my license. Sometimes I wonder if a black kid would have fared as well in that situation. It really felt like white Southerners looking out for one another. I dont know that cop or his deal. But I feel like a Hispanic kid would have failed and got sent home. On the reverse side... Ive also felt the effects of black privilege. When I interviewed for my first internship in Maryland, I went through the process with my black friend.
