Privilege is having the time to go to a Black Lives Matter rally in the middle of a pandemic and being a white person throwing water bottles and screaming "Black Lives Matter" at a bunch of Black policemen.
If white people are doing that, they are not quite privileged. Something is going on in their lives that you probably will never understand.
Not true. If a black family and a white family have the same income and credit score; the black family pays more interest and fees. Blacks are much more likely to be offered subprime loans even when they qualify for better type of loans.
That's according to data gathered by American Civil Liberties Union.
I'm half Black and I've always did my homework before making any major purchase... Who, in their right mind would be OK with a subprime rate on a home purchase? If you have poor credit or no credit, that's on you.
A few years ago, when I purchased a new car, the first dealership tried to screw me over with some BS on a higher interest rate on the loan... Basically, as he stated the "average for the area," which is an area with a high percentage of Black and Brown people... Which was pure BS and I simply walked away... No harm and found a far better deal with the proper interest rate for my credit score.
If you do not understand how something works AND you get screwed, that's on you cuz unfortunately, that's how sheet works.
OP calls that a privilege list? He/she must be in a very bad place themselves financially. Feel bad for the OP.
No its just putting things in perspective when white people are told they are privileged because they get up at the butt crack of dawn, drop their kids off at daycare they pay for, to go to their job everyday thus having no time for protests and riots, for a paycheck that after taxes and insurance premiums they barely have enough to pay their mortgage and utilizes and buy food yet make too much money to receive any grants or assistance to help pay for their children's college expenses.
Of course there are families of all colors who have this privilege, so why is it just "white privilege"?
Privilege is not being afraid everytime you get out in the street (appart from sexual assault for women or gays)
Privilege is never thinking about your skin color and what trouble it might get you into
Privilege is about being believed first
Privilege is about never having to think about it.
Privilege is higher intellect through knowledge passed down throughout the generations. Marketability. Organizing majority. Using your culture to influence and manipulate others. Destroying others with mass weapons of all types, including foods, drugs, diseases, and money.
