No I don't care or pretend to understand "woe is me, I am the victim" B.S. I don't ever feel sorry for myself or allow myself to blame other people for my problems.
So basically,
"White Privilege" means...
- white Christian privilege
- Jewish privilege
- Muslim privilege
- Asian privilege
- Indian privilege (as in India)
- Pakistani privilege
So basically, "white" came to mean "not black". Although I assume that the middle class African Americans and the Africans who came here and are playing by the same rules as the rest of the people in the above list, are probably also considered part of the White Privilege (or are called Uncle Toms).
So,
White Privilege applies to any American of any color and faith that does not subscribe to ghetto culture and mentality. They are all privileged and don't get it and owe something to the "true" slave descendents (again, as opposed to the "false" uncle Toms who are playing by the general rules in the general American society).
Jokes aside, if I was black or Hispanic, with all other things being equal, I'd be at least two levels above my current work position. I think this is unfair but I am not blaming anyone, I achieved what I achieved by doing some things right and sometimes doing things wrong, I don't think anyone owes me anything.
Oh boohoo, a long time ago, before you were born, blacks had it tough. So what? Whites have been enslaved and had the deck stacked against them. You know what? Even if there is "white privilege" do you think that just dropped out of the sky? No, the whites who founded and built this civilization where there was none earned that with their blood, sweat, and tears. Whites haven't been handed s**t through their entire history, anything we have now was earned by our ancestors through hard work, determination, planning, and yes probably a good amount of luck.
So stop whining and start building. The white race developed in the cold and harsh climes of the Caucus Mountains with no privilege, no advantages, nothing handed to them. They built Western Civilization. They built the New World. Blacks living in America today have it better than any other member of their race at any point in history. If you are unhappy with your station in life, build a new life. If blacks, collectively, are unhappy with their station in life stop burning down cities and start building cities. Literally no one is stopping blacks other than themselves. Stop whining, stop being weak and pathetic. Stop being victims and start being winners.
You whine and excuse make and just blow off the struggles that the Irish, Italians, and Chinese had when they came as if blacks today have it any harder than they did when they came to America. What is your excuse today? What is it? Microagressions? "White privilege" that is so subtle, so hard to detect by anyone other than crusading SJWs that it really doesn't matter even if it exists? The one thing I hate is weak minded people who act like they are perpetual victims. So many groups around the world face REAL struggle and turmoil, you live in AMERICA. We're a land of winners and you can either stop complaining and join in and your keep whining and stay a loser.
Not to mention some blankets infected with Small Pox given to Indian tribes. Your entire post makes me embarrassed to be American, and white.

That's too bad, perhaps you can move to Africa. You can be a self-loathing white there and you would never again have to contemplate the fact that great civilizations are built on the blood and bones of lesser ones that were defeated. In Africa you won't have to think about great civilizations any more because there are none to be found for thousands and thousands of miles.

Having a different opinion is not a reason someone should have to leave their own country.
Everybody here has free speech, not just the radical right.
White people are still at it though. This very board is also further evidence too that many white people are still very racist.
The word has lost all real meaning because the race/grievance merchants have called everyone and everything racist.
Plus everyone has their own version of what the word means, typically being wrong.
It reminds me of a funny skit on Seinfled where Jerry was making fun of his uncle who thought every problem was based on anti-Semitism;
Had to smile yesterday. At a Dairy Queen about 7pm. The usual crowd of about 50 white folks after dinner of kids baseball games. Here in the lot is one black teen hawking some charity garbage. Two things struck me.
1-Whatever charity this is obviously sends the black kid into a 99% white upper middle neighborhood for one reason and one only. Pray on the white guilt disease.
2-I won't hazard a guess as to what the results would have been had one white teen been planted in a 99% black neighborhood hawking his charity among 50 black folks.
Racist? No, just a fact.
it wasnt second rate because of the study but second rate because the student had no drive, no reason to get educated, just there to be baby sitted
Actually, I call crap on that. Despite paying taxes, Black schools in Jim Crow were sub par. Every dollar spent on White schools, 1/8 was spent on Black schools. White schools often had better instructors than Blacks, better facilities, and better books. Blacks got the hand me downs and less qualified teachers. Not driven, wanting to be babysat? Prove it.

that really bad since all the schools adminstrators and board staff are black, so if they got less material, they done it to themselves
