So, Safety and I decided to have a discussion about white privilege. I've seen posts of his in the past where he appears to believe white privilege is a thing. I have my reasons for not really believing it is a thing anymore (though I absolutely do not dispute that it was once a thing). I'm open to being proven wrong on this, however, hence this discussion.

So, Safety, that's my opening statement. You now have the floor.

Thank you for the opportunity to discuss this topic, Green Arrow. Before we begin, can we make sure that we are on the same page in regards to terminology and sources allowed?

Some terms I may reference:

Conservative - not necessary the conservative platform, but quotes and comments from self-identified conservative members, not members "called" conservative.
Liberal - not necessary the liberal platform (if there is one), but quotes and comments from self-identified liberal members, not members "called" liberal.

I would like to include sources like Wikipedia and internet links that are verified by a reference to any periodical or book.

And obviously I would like to be able to reference posts made here and on other internet forums.

So, when talking about white privilege, we should make note that whites are the majority in the country. We should also make note that just because something is described as white privilege, it doesn't mean necessary that it's a "get out of jail free" card or that you will even notice when it is used. It is also more so an "understanding" that you should act or behave a certain way.

I think it stems from a moment in our society where this country was "founded" by Europeans and African slavery was brought into the mix. There was a system of white supremacy ideology that laid the framework for what our current laws are based off of. There is also evidence of this when reading the letters of secession that each state drafted to justify their leaving of the Union.

I will pause here so that it doesn't get to complex and give you a chance to discuss.

So, white privilege, then, is the inherent advantage white people have just by being born white, but that doesn't necessarily mean all white people will benefit?

In my opinion, yes, because it is just a "perk" of being the majority. It's like, not having to explain things like "why blacks have a gap between their teeth" to being a "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy".

Then there's also the case like this video:

I'd be cool with this concept if it was acknowledged that this sort of privilege isn't really extended to all white people, and that many blacks have their own privilege in regards to some issues.

Socioeconomic privilege is a bigger and more apparent issue than any sort of racial privilege, anyway.

I noticed all of these spokesmen for white privilege are rich whites born into privilege who realize that they didn't need to work or be smart to get ahead in life, feel guilty about it, and want to express that guilt. Which is fine, just don't indict all white people against their will, don't project your own feelings and upbringing onto everyone.

I love the sports analogies. Suppose to make me equal, or make me catch up, or have privilege, LeBron James was forced to turn over half his points to me during his games. (assume i am a white but weaker basketball player)

That would not be fair. His black privilege is why he gets so many points. But he still did not beat my local team, the Warriors.

Spot the difference (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fox-news-lectures-late-sandra-bland-after-praising-armed-standoff-bundy-ranch)

Last year, a Nevada rancher who boasts that he doesn’t “recognize the United States government as even existing” become a hero of Fox News pundits and other conservative commentators for refusing to pay grazing fees he owes the government.


But when a black woman named Sandra Bland was forced out of her car and to the ground by a Texas police officer after she reportedly failed to signal during a lane switch and declined to put out a cigarette, Fox News thinks this is a time to lecture viewers on how to be respectful to law enforcement. Bland later died in police custody in what investigators ruled was a suicide. -

White men defending a criminal, facing down gubbmint agencies with many, many guns, good.

African American Woman armed with a cigarette, bad. The policeman was being exposed to second hand smoke for crissakes!

Gubbmint backs down from gun wielding white men, bringing back America.

African American woman dies in police custody, well she should have signaled.

Armed white men threatening murderous violence, not being trod upon.

Unarmed people of color, should obey the rules. If they die, it's their own fault.

This is what insanity and inherent racism does to you.

You can see Fox Noise at every mass murder holding its breath waiting for the skin tone of the killer to be released. If white, he will be deemed to be just another crazy kid and more guns will be needed. If a person of color, than any explanation that terrifies their audience will be good to go, Muslim extremist black panthers! Moar Gubbmint!

Armed white men threatening everyone = militia

Armed people of color = gangs.

I ask you, where in the constitution does it say that gangs should be well regulated and armed!

The outcomes of these two sagas.

Cliven Bundy is still giving the middle finger to the gubbmint (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jun/01/cliven-bundy-standoff-grazing-rights-nevada-ranch).

Sandra Bland was buried (http://www.rightwingwatch.org/content/fox-news-lectures-late-sandra-bland-after-praising-armed-standoff-bundy-ranch).

I believe some deluded fool on SCOTUS proposed that racism was over (http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jun/30/us-supreme-court-thinks-racism-dead)

Every single day that goes by shows that racism is institutionalized and part of our every day culture.

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.

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.
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.

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

Yes or No

Cigar, as I have related a few times, I once worked on the highway system. I also sold land to developers (later on in life) and they paid for those roads and donated them to the city for no charge. The home buyers paid for the roads in their loans.

Major highways, so long as they cross state lines are federal. While Federal funds are part of the payment, states also put money in. I never saw any federal highway inspectors in all my years but I saw a lot of state inspectors whose job was oversight on the quality of the highways. Same with bridges. County and state roads used each agencies respective inspectors. I am saying that your part of the payments is in gasoline taxes. If you live in a city and don't buy gasoline, you use roads you never paid for.

What do you want Cigar you rail endlessly about everything white but you never tell us what you want.

Im going to tell you something you are not going to like but ive never been known for playing pattycakes.

You can rail tell your long dead and you are not going to change a thing. Whether you like it or not white people dont have to change and they arent going to change.

Black people have to fix themselves FIRST white people cant do it. Youre up against it with me cigar because ive was in black neighborhoods walking a beat for 4 yrs daily and in patrol cars for years more, Im not black but I saw the problems up front daily. White people cant fix those problems and until those problems are fixed nothing is going to change.

There is a black culture in poor neighborhoods that assures many blacks will go nowhere. You cant blame black kids not going to school on white people or black parents that dont make sure they do or the myriad of other self imposed black problems on white people. You know what they are.

Your answer when ever someone brings up anything about blacks you post silly pictures and make an insulting response but you NEVER make an intelligent comment. That doesnt help the discussion.

You and black people need to face you own dilemna FIRST before you blame every bad in their lives on those goddamn white people.

Face the truth about black problems first and then you can convince white people its their fault but not before.

White ‘privilege’
An idea that white people in white majority societies enjoy a status of dominance over those of other colours, or should it be the other way around which would be equally racist, or should a minority be equal to a majority?
The idea that a minority should have equal input and/or status to a majority can’t exist outside the west and is an attempt to equalise minority cultural groups, having little to do with colour and/or racism. There are a majority of 62.2% white Americans and only 12.4% of minority Afro-Americans (2014).

Dispelling the ‘blacks only’ slavery myth

12146 12147

Slavery was officially abolished in 1865 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 abolished segregation. Before the revolution, white criminals were sent to the British colonies, an estimated 50,000 to 120,000, specifically to America and Australia, as were Scottish and Irish POWs, many being sold as slaves to the American South.
Australia was itself founded from a white penal slave colony.

‘In the 1600s, no one's racial background or religion automatically destined him or her for enslavement.’

‘There were many times more Whites brought to America as Slaves than there ever were Blacks. And the White Slaves were treated much worse!’

‘The fishermen and coastal dwellers of 17th-century Britain lived in terror of being kidnapped by pirates and sold into slavery in North Africa. Hundreds of thousands across Europe met wretched deaths on the Barbary Coast in this way. Professor Robert Davis investigates.’

Why has America assimilated racial minorities of all colours from all over the world, but throughout all countries in the west, a large and growing minority of blacks and Muslims have failed to assimilate? Why the need for ‘affirmative action’ for one particular group; replicated in various forms all over the west.
If it is indeed racism and white privilege, why are there so many wealthy black American middle class and so many poor white ‘trailer park trash’? If it is white privilege, why does America have a black President?

Why do some groups do better than others. Why is there no Hispanic, or Asian, or poor white ex-slave affirmative action? The reason is this and as sections of citizens continue the sub-culture non-assimilation, the minority will continue to be at the bottom of the ladder, irrespective of colour, both socially and economically – all over the west.

If ‘white privilege’ produced this

12148

Who is responsible for this

12149 12150

It’s not about privilege, racism, slavery or everybody else’s fault – it’s about adopting the norms and values of the majority population – whichever country you’re in, wherever you go, right across the world. The more the west tries to normalise individual failure and collectivise it as an indigenous racial responsibility, the more it will continue and the worse it will become.

I've gone over this before in previous posts...nobody is denying that there were white slaves, the problem is the fact that an indentured servant and a chattel slave are two totally different animals. An indentured servant was someone who had a contract to serve someone for a preset amount of time in which after they were free. Chattel slavery was someone born into slavery with no hope of ever being free. After the John Casor case, chattel slavery was institutionalized in America and it was race based.

The more the west tries to normalise individual failure and collectivise it as an indigenous racial responsibility, the more it will continue and the worse it will become.

Well, for the most part, it has to do with the simple fact that the negro was never allowed to assimilate into the white culture until the 1960's. 1865 - 1965 is a hundred years of forcing a race of people to be second class citizens by the government. Sorry, but it is disingenuous to try and compare that with any other group who never experienced it. I will say that slaveowners viewed slaves as valuable property so that led to the Irish being used in more hazardous, life threatening work.

Then came the Conscription Act of 1863 which created tense relationships between the Irish and blacks. This act made all white men between the ages of twenty and forty-five years eligible for the draft by the Union Army. Free black men were permitted to "volunteer" to fight in the Civil War through the provisions of the Emancipation Proclamation. However, Blacks were not drafted or otherwise forced to fight. In addition, white men with money could illegally bribe doctors for medical exemptions, legally hire a substitute, or pay for a commutation of a draft. Lower-class workers could not afford to pay for deferments. The inequities in draft eligibility between blacks, monied whites, and lower-class whites (many of whom were Irish), inevitably increased racial tensions.

So, while I agree that adaptation to the culture is a crucial step in assimilation, you have to be afforded the opportunity to do so. That is the reason you see blacks the way they are today.

Minorities in this country - not all of them but far too many of them are looking for freebies. Easy passes and they use slavery as a tool to access attention, resources and free shit.

With the numbers that accept government "handouts" being similar in percentage, but the rate according to population being what is usually discussed, why are the minorities (blacks) scapegoated for government handouts and not the people in Kentucky and elsewhere accepting the same handouts? (hint, they ain't black)

That's not what I'm really saying and I can't disagree with your statement. I don't claim that the handouts issue is only valid for the black community, my point is that I think the slavery thing at this juncture is very disingenuous. It's been generations at this point, it's no longer valid.

Mac made a statement that I would be lying if I said I disagreed with it, but it was basically that black people are fortunate to have been brought to this country and on a positive note I agree with that. They like the rest of us imports have an opportunity to live a standard of life that many if not most in the world don't and we should be looking to take advantage of that opportunity, not feed off of it.

That is usually the gist of the conversation whenever things get too heated. There are many many people who think that, blacks included. However, we are judging an artificial future based upon past events. There is no telling how this country or any other place in the world would be if certain events had never taken place. Who's to say that if Lincoln had sent all blacks to Liberia like he wanted, what the outlook of America would be. There are some that think, if blacks were not here, then there would not be any racial problems and it would be like the 1950's all over again. Maybe, there would just be another group that would take the place of blacks in the sliding scale of racial purity. Maybe having blacks in America caused the focus of the population to be on them and the racial tensions in America and not annihilating another country like Russia during the cold war.

One thing I do know is, once people are content in their life, taking a guess as to how it would be different is a futile endeavor.

First, we have a variety of... opinionated people in our culture. Lots of different viewpoints. So in one respect I always cringe a little when I go off on some rant about race because I know I'm raising the hairs on the necks of folks sensitive to the subject who I respect.

But, I'm not going to hold my thoughts back even at the risk of passionate ranting.

To address your point, I think that if this were a more racially compiled nation we would still have basically the same dysfunction. It's not race IMO that's the issue, race is an excuse. It's a "we're fat and happy and bored" thing. Too secure, I've said this before. When we had to chase shit down to eat to survive while not being eaten ourselves we were (and are) at our most productive. One doesn't have to be productive in this society to survive and human nature shows it's true colors in this respect where we do as little as possible in many cases because we can.

This explains the homeless phenomenon, the welfare advantage takers, drugs, theft, obesity, and on and on.

No one is denying there were white slaves because few realise it and no one mentions it – which is why the consensus myth of slavery being responsible for a minority of black failure continues.

We can call people transported exiles, indentured servants, serfs or slaves . . . conditions were such that few ever returned, even if they survived the initial journey to the Americas or Australia. Slavery in the UK itself was only abolished by the Slavery Abolition Act as recently as 1833. My point is that historic slavery is no longer an excuse for the non-advancement of racial groups and is now used as the excuse.

Yes, it’s true that blacks were regarded as second class citizens until the 60s. That’s over half a century ago and you now have a high percentage black middle class and a black President. You also have laws prohibiting racism, equality laws against discrimination, equality of education, affirmative action . . . what are these other ‘opportunities’ that are needed? What you probably mean is equality opportunities are not producing equality outcomes and that’s because opportunities and their outcomes depend on the individual, not on colour, groups, or historical events.

Why are a minority of blacks over represented in welfare statistics according to population size, in the prison system, in crime . . . or conversely, why do drug addicts, gang members or single mothers experience the same dis-association and disfranchisement as some blacks. It’s a behavioural lifestyle choice.

Spot the difference. Both have a history of slavery.
Clue: The same occurs in all racial groups, colours and nationalities in the world.

This person too will never assimilate in western society and it’s not because of a lack of opportunity, but of choice.

12166

Or these, whose future is already predictable, but who can’t rely on the excuse of racism, or historical slavery.

12167

The reason some blacks fail is a refusal to assimilate into the mainstream, but adopt alternative forms of lifestyle sub-cultures that actively prevent that. Colours, races and groups do not advance collectively, individuals advance and if it’s a lack of opportunity, or a history of slavery, you then need to explain why it affects some and not others, or why lifestyle choice failure occurs across the board in all societies, irrespective of racial origin, historical slavery or colour.

Once again, when you look at the history of this country you will see that throughout the years and generations you had a conscious effort to place obstacles and barriers in front of blacks to prevent any sort of assimilation and sense of belonging into society. Start with slavery and the mindset that african people were only allowed existence here to serve whites. Families were broken up and sent to different plantations to work, "bucks" were bought for their masculinity and pressured to breed with other "strong masculine" women to increase productivity like livestock. If a slave was caught trying to learn to read or get educated, they were either whipped or punished severely. That went on for generations. That is the beginning of breaking the will to overcome anything but being a slave. Then the North became the safe-haven for escaped slaves which slavers in the South took exception to, up to the point of starting a movement to break away from the Union and forming their own sovereign government. One of the prime reasons for seceding was over the efforts of the North in abolishing slavery and creating laws which would bring the negro equal protection as the white man. Then the civil war happened, and able bodied white men were drafted, those that could afford it received deferments, but the poor whites and Irish did not have the resources to achieve that, which created resentment towards the free blacks who were allowed to volunteer. After the war concluded and the slaves were freed, the South still did not accept the negro as being an equal, so Jim Crow laws came into effect...more resentment.

Freed blacks then came together and started building businesses and communities, but that wasn't enough, the KKK was started to make sure the blacks knew their place. The KKK included people of power, such as Sheriffs, Judges, City Councilmen, all people who controlled life, liberty, and freedom. As a second class citizen, you did not have a fair shake in the eyes of the law. You were judged and tried, not by a jury of your peers, but by whites that may or may not have a favorable opinion of you based upon your skin color. There was a striving black community in Tulsa, OK that was called during the early 1900's "black wall street", but it became not even a mention in any text books about the riot by whites who torched the town....
The Tulsa race riot was a large-scale, racially motivated conflict on May 31 and June 1, 1921, in which a group of whites attacked the black community of Tulsa, Oklahoma. It resulted in the Greenwood District, also known as 'the Black Wall Street'[1] and the wealthiest black community in the United States, being burned to the ground.

During the 16 hours of the assault, more than 800 people were admitted to local white hospitals with injuries (the two black hospitals were burned down), and police arrested and detained more than 6,000 black Greenwood residents at three local facilities.[2]:108–109 An estimated 10,000 blacks were left homeless, and 35 city blocks composed of 1,256 residences were destroyed by fire. The official count of the dead by the Oklahoma Department of Vital Statistics was 39, but other estimates of black fatalities vary from 55 to about 300

More resentment towards blacks. Then we can mention the efforts of the 2nd world war which in 1941 fewer than 4,000 African Americans were serving in the military and only twelve African Americans had become officers. Most African Americans serving at the beginning of WWII were assigned to non-combat units and relegated to service duties, such as supply, maintenance, and transportation. Then the G.I bill which helped many after the war to go to college and buy homes was not afforded to blacks...
Once they returned home after the war, blacks faced not only discrimination but also poverty, which confronted most blacks during the 1940s and 1950s and represented another barrier to harnessing the benefits of the G.I. Bill, as poverty made seeking an education problematic while labor and income were needed at home. The United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), because of its strong affiliation to the all-white[1] American Legion and VFW (Veterans of Foreign Wars), also became a formidable foe to many blacks in search of an education because it had the power to deny or grant the claims of black G.I.s. Additionally, banks and mortgage agencies refused loans to blacks, making the G.I. Bill even less effective for blacks ....thanks also to the Jim Crow effect of redlining.

Then we enter into the "civil rights" era of the 50's and 60's. More resentment towards blacks because they are making so much fuss over "equal rights". Between outright murder and intimidation tactics people still struggled and fought to be considered more than a 2nd class citizen. That supposedly happened in 1964 with the passage of the CRA, which when looking at the breakdown in the votes, the South voted "No" and the North voted "Yes". That was evidence of more resentment towards blacks in the South.

So, it was not just a smooth sailing for people of color once they were freed, they had to not only work hard, but be extraordinary in order to just be considered equal in some people's eyes. And also, it was not a matter of blacks refusing assimilation into the white culture, it was never allowed to happen.

Again, you’re reverting to history. What you’ve done in your post is given a Wiki quote based potted history of black American slavery. Bring it up to date with anti-discrimination laws, affirmative action, equal opportunities and civil rights . . . What you now have to explain is why do some succeed and some fail if all had a history of slavery. Wiki won’t explain that for you, it’s something you need to think about yourself.

Why are European Muslims having the same problem as blacks in America, without the slavery excuse; because they too refuse to assimilate? The reason you’ll struggle is because you’re coming at it from a political colour and historic slavery narrative and not a cultural one. Slavery and colour is the excuse, alternative culture and an individual lifestyle choice is the answer.

Man convicted for threatening federal ranger during Bundy Ranch stand-off gets one day in jail (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/07/31/1407572/-Man-convicted-for-threatening-federal-ranger-during-Bundy-Ranch-stand-off-gets-one-day-in-jail)http://images.dailykos.com/images/80848/large/RTR3L0IP.jpg?1398803043

It seems like only yesterday that militia members were rushing to the aid of Cliven Bundy, the Nevada rancher who has let his cattle graze on federal lands for two decades (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/22/1293756/-Cliven-Bundy-s-ancestral-rights-are-every-bit-as-authentic-as-the-gondolas-at-The-Venetian) without paying the associated fees and despite losing several lawsuits and defying numerous court orders to pay up. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/12/1291572/-Does-rancher-Bundy-have-a-legal-claim-No)
Cliven's refusal to pay and his insistence he had every right to let his cattle graze on federally protected lands spurred hundreds of militia members to take up the cause. (http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/04/10/1291105/-Cliven-Bundy-right-wing-extremist-domestic-terrorist-lawbreaker) Many of them were seen pointing weapons at federal officers near the ranch.


Well, justice has finally arrived for at least one federal ranger. Will Michael, a Pennsylvania man, has been sentenced for leaving a profanity-laced death threat on Chief Ranger Mike Roop's voicemail: (http://www.mcall.com/news/breaking/mc-emmaus-man-sentenced-threats-federal-ranger-20150728-story.html)



On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg in Philadelphia sentenced Michael, 24, to one day of imprisonment, to be followed by three years' supervised release, and a $200 special assessment. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Michael could have been sentenced to 15 to 21 months behind bars. Goldberg ordered Michael to complete 50 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to Roop. He must also keep a job and apply to at least three colleges by the end of the year.

Emphasis added. Look, Michael is young and leaving the threatening voicemail was a terrible lapse of judgement. But, what about the men (and women) around the Bundy Ranch who posed very real, very armed threats to federal agents? And what would the reaction be if a Black Lives Matter protester left a profanity-laced death threat for a federal officer? Still think they'd get a one day prison sentence? Not likely.

Those people aren't the ones going around accusing whites of having unfair privileges.

Pretty much what I figured you'd do @Safety (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1226).... dredge up two or three examples of some non-black minority group member with an axe to grind against whites & try to pass that off as being equal to the constant litany of diaper pissing out of black America about how whitey be gittin all de breaks.

Nowhere close to the same thing.

I was gonna say "nice try", but it wasn't.

"Lame attempt" is more like it.

White Privilege: Translation: Black excuse making.

Thats bullshit, and you know it. You can't seriously think that there are no whites who haven't experienced privileges not available to other races. There is no fucking way.

I think the term White Privlidge is a turn off to many. Most whites dont view themselves as privledged. I think it would be more accepted if it was worded differently.

Whites get favored treatment by simply being the majority. They have advantages in employment and other areas.

If they do it's most likely because they assume they have money or are responsible. You know, that privilege we have for being white.

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.

According to you they do. You said it. So maybe they're onto something. It's interesting that non-whites would find whites to be more responsible. Ain't that somethin' :smiley:

Women are also moving up the corporate ladder. Does that mean that all women are treated equally and face no prejudice? Of course not.

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.

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.

No one is doubting that barriers have been broken and we have made strides, but that doesn't mean that white privilege no longer exists.

Color, unfortunately is still very much part of the equation.

It's easy to say it's not. Particularly if you are not a person of color. Look the President is black, therefore everything is equal now.
