White Privilege

[Mister D]

sorry, I misunderstood. btw: were asking about Refugee a few weeks ago? I noticed he created a new thread tonight.

I don't know remember the name. I might have asked about rebel Son. I know him from elsewhere.

You're right, the government is racist. Perhaps you should stop advocating for more government control in things.

DO me a favor, who is going to Rebuild and Repair The United States of America's Infrastructure?

Take your time, it's not a trick question sport.

ok...I know you were talking about KC the other day. I'll eventually remember who was asking or they will notice he has returned. His new thread is something you might enjoy.

The Cultural Marxism thread, right? I'm not familiar with the book he cited but i probably do agree with much of what it contains.

That reminds me. I will email KC.

Homogeneous countries don't really have a racial privilege though. It has to be broken down by wealth, creed, or some other factor.

Not sure if it is majority either.

Take Jews for example, they are a sliver of the population, yet one could argue they have quite a bit of privilege.

True, but in countries that are not homogeneous, race is a factor, especially when it was a defining factor during the turbulent history of said country.

As for jews, it all depends on the type privilege you are speaking about. Ethnic jews would have a privilege/non-privilege if it was judged by their appearance. People with jewish last names would have a different privilege/non-privilege because it would not be based upon appearance.

I think when people use the term "white privilege" they are referring to the level of consideration given to a person based upon their skin color. It could be beneficial if one was going to a job interview and the person hiring had a bias based on race. It could also be detrimental if one was walking through a rough neighborhood and someone was targeting someone based on race. In 2015, it isn't a "get out of jail free" card, but it could mean the difference in a cop determining whether or not his/her life is threatened.

Those who have the desire and the expertise I reckon.

Contrary to the belief of some, government doesn't really build roads.

Don't try to play with words, do private citizens pay for Government Road Construction?

Yes or No

The problem with White Privilege is that those who swear it exists, cannot fully articulate it. And even if they can, it is not am absolute where it supposedly exists.

And if other privilege is announces to exist it is deemed crazy talk.

Not by you but by many.

Things that aren't repeatable on a reliable basis don't carry much weight in a objective light.

Race does play a part in the courtroom, but not as much as socio-economics.

I think Safety articulated it but his articulation, IMO, emptied it of controversy. The rest of the members who use the term can't quite tell us what it means let alone demonstrate its reality.
