Not identifying white privilege is when you have to use the same example 100 times while the examples against you were different every time.

No, just pointing out that there are certain innate benefits one gets.

There's also certain privileges you get as male or female.

The key is remembering that none of these mean someone has an easy, stress free life. Additionally, there are downsides as well.

It's like double standards. We all benefit from them in some way, but we're also hurt by them in other ways.

Yup, it's not complicated at all. Stereotyping any person based on race is racism, pure and simple.

That is not true at all. It is a generalization about a race, which is racist.

It is a generalization used by people who want to control the conversations and to justify taking power and opportunity without earning it.

it was created by racist for racist and those complicit with racism. good thing White people coined the term and brought awareness to other White people.

White abolitionist were also seen as anti-White race traitors just like White people who fight for social justice today. a lot of clowns can't even differentiate between racist and racial. they conflate the two.

not all White people are cut from the same cloth. CE has a lot of cheap ass napkins.

No it's not. But also what some who ardently believe in it fail to realize is that theres no white privilege when everybody in your town is white which holds true for most of these small towns in rural America. So these people feel alienated by the concept.

Not literally everyone who is white has to benefit in the exact same way for the concept to be valid.

Just like how I've gotten certain benefits from being male, not every guy in the world gets that exact same benefit. But it was still a benefit.

Most likely not the case, and even if you had some weird experience like that it isn't reflective of white people more broadly.

How many members of the race have to have these secret magical benefits in order for it to be a legitimate, non-racist concept? How do you begin to count all those people?

Saying one race faces less harmful discrimination based on race than another is not a generalization.

Not identifying white privilege is when you have to use the same example 100 times while the examples against you were different every time.

i think it's misunderstood and misused a lot. i think it is racist when it is used to imply or suggest that all white people have it better in life than all nonwhite people by default regardless of any other circumstances. in our society, do white people tend to have a leg up with some things? yeah, there's no question about that. but i think people sometimes forget that demographically speaking a white person, just like anyone, can be many different things and fit into multiple socioeconomic categories, not all of which have much privilege of their own, or are very conducive to capitalizing on the privileges of being white, or may even be underprivileged.

in short, a lot of white people have it tough too. sure it may not be as systemic or systematic as it is with nonwhites, but just don't go trying to assert that i have it made simply because i'm white. it's just not true.


But people aren't saying there aren't white people that have it rough. Just that, at the very least, their whiteness will never be a barrier or an obstacle to their success.

I think people mean that, for example, a cop is less likely to harass you if you're white, whereas black people more frequently get pulled over or arrested or given lengthier sentences.
