I don't doubt that whites favor other whites whether consciously or unconsciously but we don't call that Chinese privilege in China or black privilege in Zimbabwe. Catch my drift? White America is downright pathological.

Whatever you call it, it amounts to an advantage correct ? I agree the white privledge thing is overplayed. Everything racial in the US is overplayed but that doesnt change in the end it does exist though.

If it was reversed it would be black privledge.

No of course not, but the barriers have collapsed. They can achieve a CEO position, Carly Fiorina for example. The glass ceiling is broken and now it's up to the individual to get there.

Same for the race issue. Success is based on the individuals skills, education, personality, drive, etc. Color is out of the equation now.

I agree ... in part, it would be great if individuals skills, education, personality, drive and motivation was all anyone ever needed to get ahead.

But then we all live in world where people have preconceived opinions ... all you have to do is read many of the Threads on this Forum.

Yea, that is pretty true. A black person snatching a purse now is justifications for white people to be afraid of blacks....stuff like that.

That was true years ago, very true, but not any longer. We have a president who is a person of color, privilege is no longer limited to the white race.

We have non-white millionaires, billionaires, governors, mayors, corporate CEO's, Oscar winners, Nobel Prize winners, Generals, scientists, astronauts.

Very few and far between, yes.

I happen to think it's very relevant, especially when discussing whether or not such a thing as white privilege exists. I say that because, take for instance, a single "insert race" person in a room of whites, whatever that person does will be brought out in the forefront, irregardless whether or not others were doing the same thing. That is a product of having a white, hispanic, Asian, etc. majority. Privilege isn't something that will necessarily get you free tickets to the Knicks game, but more like the benefit of doubt given in any particular situation.

This racial privilege stuff is misleading, it's an attempt by the elites to cast poor/working/middle class blacks and whites against each other. Privilege is based mostly on economics and connections, period. Race can be an issue, but is low on the totem pole, I'd say even lower than looks. For example, everything else equal, a good looking black person, male or female, has a better chance at a job or an opportunity of some sort than an ugly white person, even if the employer is white. That's on average, that wouldn't apply to an employer who is racist, obviously.

It's something, sure, it isn't one of the more major traits, nor does it beat out some minor ones either, in my opinion.

Yes East Asians and Jews are doing well, that's back to my last post on the history of this country, right? Black men unfortunately have been in the eyes of people ever since they arrived in this country. So the fact that some are wary, only exacerbates the situation when an agenda is to be had.

Continuation.....

Here's a post that was made earlier today (@common don't take this the wrong way, I am trying to make a point here)


Statically you will die before me, italians have far more longevity than blacks we have purer blood and we dont kill ourselves nearly as much. YOu have a far greater chance of having a black lives matters clown blow your brains out for your wallet

This is another example of white privilege, whereas not too long in our past Italians were not considered "white", in fact Italians living in the south during Jim Crow were subjected to the same segregation and miscegenation laws blacks were. But something happened that "allowed" them to now be included as white. Did the rules on what constitutes "white" relax because it was easier to make it a "us" vs "them" argument? The same thing happened with the Irish.


Southern Italians were considered “black” in the South and were subjected to the Jim Crow laws of segregation. They weren’t allowed to marry “whites.” It was difficult, damn near impossible.

They were designated as “black” on census forms if they lived in the South and that is because the majority of them were dark-skinned Sicilians.

Mass lynchings happened to them often.

I don't know if I have taken advantage of my white privilege since I live and work in a white suburban community. I interact with a black person once every couple months when my usual UPS driver takes time off. The fill-in driver is a black man. I always enjoy the privilege in talking with him about the NFL. He's probably the most knowledgeable person I've ever talked to about football. How do I recognize any so called privilege when we (blacks and white) self segregate?

Not too sure about that...


“Chinese privilege”, as Sangeetha Thanapal has named it, functions very similarly to white privilege in the United States and Europe. To use Peggy McClintock’s notion of white privilege and the invisible knapsack, Chinese privilege functions like an “invisible package of unearned assets which I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious. [Chinese] privilege is like an invisible weightless backpack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools and blank checks.” As a Singapore Chinese person, when I am in Singapore, I never need to think twice about whether my race/ethnicity is represented on mainstream media, whether my languages are spoken, whether my religions are allowed to exist, whether I can catch a taxi. All these things are little aspects of Chinese privilege which is very similar to how white privilege functions.

I'm not trying to make you jump into my skin, nor am I trying to jump into yours. I am simply bring forth a different perspective that may not be obvious to you as it is to me. There are some who look at skin color as a defining measure of whether or not a society is homogenous, and then there are others who say skin color is not the issue, culture is. I'm from the culture camp.

Then stop being black, just as I don't run around saying "I am white" and take this man's advice. For things to change, you must change.

You do have a way of rubbing some folks the wrong way sometimes, bob. No offense meant. Anyway, race does matter but I sometimes get the impression that how exactly it matters and who is allowed to say so ultimately depends on the skin color and social views of the would be realist. I don't think Safety has a bad attitude. I think Cigar does. He has a definite chip on his shoulder but that will only hurt him in the end.

Not once has anyone ever come back with a search of any Threads where I make that claim ... not once.

Most of my friends are White, I have Whites in my immediate family, my business partner of 28 years is White. I bet I have more firsthand interactions on a daily bases with Whites & Blacks than the majority of people on this forum.

So please show me where I blanket whites in my posts,
You may not do so outright, but it is often implied by the comments that follow the pieces you post. People are not obtuse, they understand what you are driving at without actually saying it. It also doesn't help when you imply that black people will rise up in retribution for the past or when you continually harp on the President's race in connection with two successive wins. It is baiting and I can't imagine that you don't realize that you are doing it. That doesn't mean that others are not also baiting, but heckling behavior in general is not likely to result in discussion.

I'm saying this to you and not the Bobs, Macs, and Cigars of this board because I respect your intellect and you as a poster even if we disagree on many issues. I see you respond to Cigar a lot of the time with stuff that can be interpreted as generally disrespectful to black people.

You do have a way of rubbing some folks the wrong way sometimes, bob. No offense meant. Anyway, race does matter but I sometimes get the impression that how exactly it matters and who is allowed to say so ultimately depends on the skin color and social views of the would be realist. I don't think Safety has a bad attitude. I think Cigar does. He has a definite chip on his shoulder but that will only hurt him in the end. I just think that many blacks imbibe this concept and the resentment it entails in the same way many whites imbibe racist beliefs growing up.

I think one is being naive to not believe that carries over into other areas of life. Perhaps discrimination is a poor term because it carries connotations of willfulness and even malice.

Speaking about privilege in Japan....


TOKYO — Ariana Miyamoto was born and raised in Japan and speaks fluent Japanese. But she said most people in her homeland see her as a foreigner.

“My appearance isn’t Asian,” she said, “[but] I think I’m very much Japanese on the inside.”

Miyamoto, 21, was born to a Japanese mother and an African-American sailor who left Japan when she was a child. In Japan she’s considered a hafu, or half-Japanese. Some people prefer the term daburu to signify double heritage, but Miyamoto said she’s not offended by the word hafu.

“I don't think the equivalent word for hafu exists overseas, but in Japan you need it to explain who you are,” she said.

In March she became the first half-black, half-Japanese woman to be named Miss Universe Japan. Many people in Japan cheered, tweeting messages such as “She represents Japan! Being hafu is irrelevant.”

But others complained on social media that she didn’t deserve the title.

When I lived there, for about 6 years, I didn't see much of that. Hafu are used a lot in TV commercials and magazine ads to give products an American or European image. Not saying it doesn't exist. The Ainu were historically outcasts. I dated a Korean girl for a while and they and others are definitely looked down on. It's odd because Americans and Europeans are instead treated like kings and queens but you eventually learn that too is too keep social distance between you.

Each time a person says "White privilege" I stop to recall people like Barack Hussein Obama; Thomas Sowell, Ben Carson, Alan Keyes, Herman Cain, Larry Elder, JC Watts,

There are so many blacks in the republican party that are super well thought of and so successful.

There is no reason to grant corner drug dealers similar accolades.

Yeah, both of them

I was interviewed for a job in a power plant . when i called about the result a few days later I was told I was not eligible because of federal guide lines they had to hire a black man or woman or a hispanic .that was one experience I had.
Another one I had was a boss in cali told me it was getting to dark around here. I had hired 3 black men not because they were black but because they had good references and resumes and interviewed well.

I went to Tulane Law School- then $30K a year tuition. Because I have white privilege I got the max amount of financial aid for a white male. $5K a year.

I grew up basically in public housing, I left school before I graduated the 8th grade, starting getting into alot of bad things, went into the military, as I was clearing base, the head of the education dept wouldnt clear me, until I took the GED, I said I just went through hell and you wont clear me for the education dept ? I curse at him, he said sit down take the ged or I dont sign period, yell and curse all you want.

I took it, after being home 4 months I got a ged diploma in the mail, a few months later I was told with a GED you can take a police or fire test. I took the police test, passed high enough to be hired and im guessing somewhere in there, someone will believe my life was based on white privledge. For the life of me Ive never felt privledged or blessed either until I made it in life ON MY OWN. Ive never collected a single unemployment check in my lifetime.

I dont believe or I just cant think of another law we can write, to protect blacks Gays, or transexuals and women from evil white males. Im sure if someone thinks of a few in the house they will write them, illegal immigration is a new area they can pursue to protect illegals from white males.

The one thing this thread shows is that success comes from within -- not from the color of one's skin, one's sex, or one's financial privilege.

If only more people would begin to recognize that -- we'd have a happier world.

It wasnt always that way, blacks certainly were subjected to racism in all facets of life, to deny this is disengenuous.

I think that today that has been predominently erased, but people want to keep beating that drum for their gain and for Political expediency. People also want to take racial differences and dislike as proof of privledge. There is no law you can pass, there is no amount of raging and ranting that can force someone to like someone else, the only thing it can do its keep those people silent and festering and thats worse in my mind.

My oldest (literally a genius - thanks to her mother) was 'white privileged' out of a PharmD program at a state university despite being the top Chemistry Student there. In fact, a lot of the white kids were 'white privileged' out of said program. I sued. They paid. She transferred. Was a superstar at the new school. Is a superstar at the hospital she works at.

Asians pretty much have no privilege. Their are scenarios that can benefit black, white, and hispanic people but there is no such privilege for asian people. They pretty much outdo everyone scholastically and get screwed by mandatory quotas.

As a white kid I was a minority in my neighborhood.
Although, if I could go back. I would have told them to lick my boots cuz I am white and privileged. No one told me.
Probably a good thing.

White Privilege is a fallacy, because everybody is "privileged" in some way.

Anglo Saxons conquered the world, Black Africans made an empire of slave trade from it.

But if you want to talk about "privilege"............

I can honestly say, I've never, NEVER seen anything in my life but Black Privilege.
Blacks get preferential treatment in schools.
Blacks get preferential treatment from the gov't.
Blacks get preferential treatment from help organizations.
Blacks get preferential treatment in hiring practices.
Blacks get preferential treatment in job markets.
Blacks get preferential treatment on the job.
Blacks get the big raises, bonuses, and perks.
Blacks get preferential treatment for loans.
Blacks "lord" all of this over everybody.
Black employees make more money than white employees.
Blacks can have a job AND get welfare!

This is what I've seen all of my life.

I have never had anything of any substance in my life, even though I've had to work 3 jobs for a few years, at one point in my life, JUST to be able to make rent!

I've worked from "hand to mouth" all of my life because blacks get all the promotions and compensation packages at work.

The first time I got laid off from a job, I used up all my savings before I ever found another job. I had to go apply for food stamps. As I was sitting there, and the guy I was talking to was flapping his yap about some BS.....there was noise outside.
I looked out the double glass front doors and saw this black woman in a new Cadillac drive up to the front doors, LITERALLY!
There were no parking spaces within 30 feet of the front door, yet she parks her Caddy right there in the RED FIRE LANE, gets out of her car. She comes in, clip clopping in her Gucci shoes, Gucci dress, REAL fur coat (in the middle of the summer), Gucci sunglasses, and "dripping" in diamonds, gold, and about 20 gold bracelets! She gets up to the front desk, and says to the clerk "I want ALL of my food stamps". The clerk hands her about an inch worth of food stamps (when they were still paper). And she turns on one heel, and clip clops back out, gets back into her Caddy and drives off!!
All the while the guy that is supposed to be helping me, is telling me I DON'T QUALIFY FOR FOOD STAMPS!!!

My grandma had her social security cut one year, and it was so bad, that she had to go apply for food stamps.
The bitch there that took her application told her TO HER FACE....."YOU ARE THE WRONG COLOR TO BE GETTING FOOD STAMPS"!!!

Another time I lost my job and was not able to find another one in time, I had to go apply for food stamps. Again, I was completely broke and didn't even know if I was going to be able to pay my rent the next month. While I was sitting in the waiting room, I was looking out in the parking lot at some birds, when a huge, black Escalade with several THOUSAND dollars worth of rims and tires and lift job on it drove up to the front door and these three women got out with baby strollers, and came into the food stamp office! All of them had VERY expensive weaves, VERY expensive nail jobs, "dripping" in gold chains, all wearing VERY expensive tracksuits with $500 sports shoes, and the baby strollers were some of those designer kinds that cost several THOUSAND dollars a piece!! And they were there getting their food stamps!! Can you guess what happened? Thats RIGHT! I WAS DENIED, and THEY were ACCEPTED!!

And this is what I've seen, day in day out, my whole life!

Don't talk to me about "white privilege"!!!

I've even worked with plenty of blacks that have nothing but nasty stuff to say about people like I described above. They call them "the word". I was explained several times in my life by some upstanding, hard working blacks that these "the words" have ruined all blacks lives by what they have done to the entire black culture. I was told the same thing by all of these people I worked with, who don't know each other, and were at different points in my working life. They never took a dime from anybody, including the government. They had to get jobs if they wanted something. They were raised with manners and etiquette, and made to understand what self-reliance is.

I actually miss one guy. He was so nice! He was working to put himself through train college, because he wanted to be a train Chief!! I thought that was awesome. And I have two friends that just love me to death. They are extremely intelligent black ladies and they understand race relations and all the BS and media corruption that has been integrated into it. And we have no qualms about talking about such things with each other, because we all understand we are human, and we don't see each other as a "color", we see each other as friends. It's all those other people out there that make so much money off of keeping the hate and animosity going.

I don't hold grudges against any of these people though. Thats how they were raised, and obviously were never informed about much more meaningful ways to get the things you want out of life.

I do hold grudges against anyone that keeps people down, and tells them that their plights and problems are those of everybody else!!! There are PLENTY of stories out there of down-trodden people of all "colors", that have had the intelligence to know that there IS something better out there, and they get out there and go for it! And THAT is what America is all about.

If you don't leave the swamp, you will get sucked down into it!
