6) Many potential employers "weed out" candidates based upon names and zip codes giving preference to those who are more likely to be white.

7) Job candidates with the same qualifications are paid differently based on race

got any proof that impoverished white people benefit from this?

ANY?

Besides your perpetuated and perceived talking points?

My God. Do most of you liberals really believe this stuff??!!

My kids are never going to public schools. I don't care if I have to work 3 jobs. These people are teaching or kids!!

So a nutty conference in Wisconsin is gonna force you to work 3 jobs.

Whatever pops your cork.

I guess the big picture just went over your head.

My point was that if for some reason i can not afford private school off of one job, I will work 2 or 3 before I ever send them to public school. Especially if this sort of crap keeps up.

Id sure like to know what the hell "white privilege' has to do with the educational system. Just why are som many teachers and such attending this?

Thats all they got. And discrimination goes both ways. If I go into a highly black neighborhood, etc, Im not always treated very well or the same as they treat each other.

Its called life. Life isnt fair.

Ive said it a thousands times, but Ill say it again. The biggest problem the black community has, are themselves. They let a number of them ruin it for the rest of them, through their culture. The hip hop, pants on the ground, acting like idiots in public, crime, drugs, etc.

And let's just say there is this HUGE white privilege that I some how have. What the hell is your answers to deal with it? I will never apologize for being white. I wont apologize for what happened to blacks years ago, I had nothing to do with it. What do you want, for us to kill ourselves? Hell, the world could be white free, and the black community isnt going to change much. Their culture will still have issues. Start parenting at home, start out reaches in your own communities.

If I had a store, you are damn right I would profile shoppers. Not always black or white, but how they dress and act would play part in it. Does that make me racist? Nope. That would make me a conscious business owner who doesnt play the PC game and cares about my store.

They're completely right by the way. White privilege is a thing, and those who deny it are usually white people themselves. There is no such thing as racism against white people, because racism is institutional. Racism is seen in the fact that more black people were able to vote under Jim Crow Laws than they are today. Racism is seen in the inner-cities and ghettos, in the speeches of some of America's most loved politicians. When a black man tells his daughter she better not bring home a white man, that is not racism. That is discrimination. Know the difference. There can, by definition, be no such thing as racism against white people, until they start being targeted institutionally.

But again, this has nothing to do with liberalism. Democrats are almost as complicit as Republicans are. In fact, the liberals have been known to exploit the struggles of those victimized by white privilege while doing little to change anything. Think of all those liberals who take on the struggles of people they cannot relate to and than try to speak on their behalf. Gross.

I think the only thing wrong with leftists who call out white privilege is how whiny and annoying they sound, but that's just me, and that's my problem. What they're talking about is correct.
There are only Kingdoms, Divisions (or Phylum), Classes, Orders, Families, Genus, and Species. "Race" only exists in the minds of the truly ignorant.

The black communities problem is not white privilege. Its their own community and culture. Just how long are some of you going to continue blaming someone else for your problems? Why is it other black nationalities can come here and thrive, make something of themselves, black, Indian, Asian? But American blacks largely still struggle in greater numbers than they should? Its CULTURE. Its how you are raised and taught or not taught. Clean up your damn culture and community before you come whining about how "great" the white man have it.

My parents werent rich. But I didnt end up in jail. I joined the navy, worked hard, got out and got a job and keep clean. My color had not one damn thing to do with it.

And yet ALL Whites are not judged by the child molesters, serial killers, drunk drivers, wife beaters, and drug addicts that walk amongst YOUR people. ALL Black people are judged by the actions of a few yet Whites receive the benefit of the doubt and are judged as individuals. THAT is white privilege.
