No political ties to men in power (the famous "white privilege" only exists for rich folks)
No advantages in colleges, corporations, or other institutions that utilize affirmative action
No minority scholarships
Is there any advantage at all to being born white and unconnected in the United States in your opinion?
I don't see why some white ppl nowadays are runnin around with these victim complexes too. This is definitely a trend that i've started to notice within the last 5-8 years..
4. You could eventually easily move into&integrate into middle class+ white communities with zero issues. I don't mean to "glorify" white communities but they tend to have much higher home equity/appreciation rates, highest resale prices and be least effected by recessions even compared to the much more rarer stable black/hispanic communities; making them more stable investments and make wealth-building MUCH easier and to be passed down. Keep in mind that real estate is the biggest asset of the vast majority of Americans
5. Black scholarships MAINLY only benefit Black students that are BOTH from very low-income families AND go to HBCU's (Historically Black Colleges&Universities); if you are none of those then there are few extra scholarships available to you. Most black college students (including myself) don't fall under both of those categories so we don't have any notable advantage.
6. Working class whites still aren't disproportionately targeted by the police. For example, despite both blacks and whites using marijuana at similar rates; blacks are still up to 8x more likely to get arrested for it: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/...n-nine-charts/

Working class anybody once this immigration bill passes. The new "citizens" get an exemption so if they are hired the bidness doesn't have to pay the obamacare penalty. Pure madness going on right now and all we see are the clowns in DC nodding their heads up and down.
Really? If so, I missed that. So those who are here ILLEGALLY will become preferred citizens?
Huh?! Wow,...umm...what do you consider working class? Construction trades? Manufacturing? Agriculture? All DOMINATED by Mexicans. Obhhhh. Ok, "Hispanics". Wtfe. This is my work market. Mexicans have flooded construction and service trades. And a high percentage oc tbem are not skilled at all. Just willing to work cheap. Doesn't matter that your water heater levels your house after install. Got it put in for 25% less, or better. The contractor can bid his labor down. Cut my tbroat, as a one man show, "white boy"type, and laugh all the way to tbe bank. Quick and cheap are tbe two qualities in vouge. Keep them Mexicans coming, but don't ***** at me when it doesn't last ten years.
The only people to blame for this is white people. Whites have problems because of white people.
When I need work done and it involves hard labor, I only hire white guys. If more whites did this, especially businesses then "poor working class whitey" wouldn't have as many problems.
The greatest danger towards whites isn't non whites, its OTHER white people.
However, if I can not find a suitable white man to do the job then I am going for the mexican or black or whomever can do the job.
Everyone founded this country, some had more influence than others.
The Natives taught the Europeans how to survive.
The Blacks created much of the original wealth while working for free...
The Hispanics who already lived in places like Texas helped influence culture and win wars against the Mexican invading armies.
The Asians built the railroads which where the backbone of this country.
I'm sure I am leaving allot out here, I am not trying to post a history lesson.
Anyone who thinks their race deserves this country more is an idiot.

So much whimpering and whining from conservatards.
Visit some 3rd world countries. Get some perspective. Be glad you're an American by accident of birth. You have no concept of how good your life is compared to the majority of humanity.
