White privilege is an offensive put-down used by people who are afraid of hard work and are jealous of the successes enjoyed by white people in general. However, this behaviour is not targeted at whites alone. When these same people see other minorities enjoying success, they accuse them of "selling out" or being whitey's lap dog.
The root of this behaviour is envy caused by watching those who are successful having money to buy things they themselves can't afford.
As such, how can anyone take this kind of overt bigotry seriously?
I had to work for everything I enjoy in life. It was never given nor granted to me. Guess what? If you stopped bitching about racism, got off your lazy ass and did something constructive with your life, you might be successful too!
I also had to work for what I have.
I was very poor as a child.........I totally agree with your post.
Every other ethnic group in America, except white must overcome various stereotypes for the right to be judged individually. Whites do not. It not a shock that most whites are oblivious to this, as this is a function of the lower mind.
Good grief. You appear to not be a student of American history. Are you aware of how the white Irish were treated in this country when they 1st appeared on the shores of this country and for a generation or so afterwards, and throughout history in other regions of the world? You might want to google a bit to read about the topic. Here's a start for you:
And to add, you think Italian's and the Polish didn't have to deal with various stereotypes/hatred in America, some very harsh at times throughout history in our country?

Now what was that about "oblivious"?
Good grief is right.
Just look at the way females were (and still are) treated.
Hillary's spouting this nonsense now too. Think she really believes it? Or is she just another Democrat pandering to the black planta...whoops, black community.
She's pandering to the lowest common denominator and playing savior of the victim, which works, even though her and here husband are a member of the privileged group. It does work much better than holding up successful people as examples to follow.

Or call successful blacks too white trying to bring them down and then act like they are owed

The jealousy is sickening

Same here... I busted my ass to move up, no one gave a damn about me back then... that is until they they wanted a piece of what I worked for. Asses
How's this for white privilege? The way that armed and dangerous white shooter, fleeing from the police, Dylann Roof was treated by the police vs say Freddy Gray, black, unarmed and fleeing from the police, or Michael Brown, black, unarmed, fleeing from the police, or unarmed black couple,Timothy Russell and Malissa Williams, who fled from police in a similar manner as Roof, but were killed in a flurry of 137 shots fired by police.
The reason so many of you can't recognize or acknowledge white privilege is because you are 100 % immersed in it.

It escapes me how so many sheep follow without realizing this.
I tried this a few times on myself and I still can't come up with a clear answer.
