Can someone please describe White Privilege in specific terms?

Privilege is contextual. Those alleging "white privilege" completely ignore this.

There have been numerous times in my life where being "white" was either a liability or a complete non-factor.

There have been other times where the privileges I enjoy were nothing to do with race, but with hard work.

That doesn't mean there isn't racial discrimination against blacks, because there is. But it's not as simple as just throwing out this toxic "white privilege" label to explain everything. Not only does this concept serve to divide people along arbitrary racial lines, which is the exact opposite of what "progress" is supposed to entail, it's utterly lacking in any nuance or complexity.

I never felt like I had any privledge living in the projects growing up. I never felt I had privledge sitting in class with more black kids than white. I didnt feel any white privledge being in the military and doing what everyone else did around me. I didnt feel any privledge taking a competitive written test that everyone else did and a physical acruity test that everyone else did and then getting up and going to work everyday and moonlighting on top of that.

I never felt I had white privledge, does it exist, sure but not to the degree some want us all to believe. The same rich white people that have all the money and run everything screw lesser white folks right along with everyone else

Truth be told whites have more, white men are richer, most of the super rich are white because they had a 200 yr headstart.

I notice you skipped right by jimmyz's posts and went straight to try and denigrate silvereyes. No explanation needed, we all know why.

Yeah it is late. Better to snuggle with your Caucasian wife while thinking of your racialist rantings on the internet tomorrow.

I find it sad and hilarious that someone tries to accuse me of stereotyping where no stereotyping exists, while in the same thread someone else calls black people "darky" and still claim no white privilege exists.

It's bizarre...

It's even more bizarre how the same individuals flooded the forum with $#@!ing and complaining because a member was "race baiting", to the point of getting them banned, but outright racists where defended as being "some kid from Nebraska".

But, they rather ignore the race baiting in this thread, but focus on the responses to it.

I didnt read jimmyz or silveryes posts nor do I care too. I realize you believe that you are the tpf seer that knows all what others are thinking but im here to say in response to that pfffffffffffft.

I say what I believe, what Ive experienced and what I think regardless of what anyone else does. In other words im my own man I follow no ones lead.

..."I didn't read..." That's a tired excuse.
