Interesting how when the tables are turned you don't have a leg to stand on.
Biden is a murderer too. It's about not appearing to be a hypocrite like Biden is doing.

But white privilege? Nah nothing to see here. Minds would be literally blown, thanks for sparing them that.
Because as a group blacks are not raised as well since 70% are raised in a single parent environment.

Since when do most much less all white live in an upscale neighborhood?

White privilege is something that false race card players use and there is no evidence of it. Excluding homicides, violent inter racial crime between blacks and whites is 90% black on white. Whites have to score higher than blacks in order to get into college. Is that white privilege?

Think before you post next time

I wished this dude was our governor.

Our governor has got to be one of the biggest pinhead asshats to come around in a good long while. Even some of the Dems here signed the recall his butt campaign.

I hope he gets recalled, that will basically kill his political career. He'll have to go run to auntie Pelosi so she could get him some government bureaucrat hack job somewhere.

This overly hair gelled used car snake oil salesman's got eyes on the White House, an even better reason to toss him out.

I agree 100%. Trump woke up enough people who didn't go out and vote when he ran the first time to vote overwhelmingly against him and his policies. It looks as if old school and new school Republicans are equally unelectable, if current trends continue.

I never said to apologize and I don't believe you should. Just acknowledging the facts would be a good start. I know I've benefitted from being white, I'm not apologizing either just acknowledging.

Oh I think plenty, not to worry. Just because I don't agree with you means I don't think apparently - how arrogant of you. And where does your 70% statistic come from? And I'm so glad I know now that single parents cannot raise their children well. I never said all or even most whites live in upscale neighborhoods but would you agree that more whites than blacks do? I was giving an example of white privilege, I never assigned numbers to that.

I don't know if my Governor Pritzker or yours is worse. They both need to go, that I do know.

I never benefitted from being white. It was held against me. They allowed me to be raped and physically harmed and I was accused of being a racist for complaining about it. I have been falsely accused of wanting black men my entire adult life. I am in my forties and still have never been asked out on a date. White men saw my daughter and disappeared. My life was ruined because of him, his family, and the authorities who took his side. Then the authorities took my daughter from me and gave her to my rapist because she "needs to be in a black home to preserve her black culture." I was said to have emotionally abused her by raising her outside of her black culture. I will never know what it's like to go on a date. I will never have a chance to have a real family. And it's all because of black people and the authorities that give preference to them. I owe black people nothing. They ruined my life. There is no "white privilege."

What facts? So you’re saying I don’t know the facts? Which ones?

A question for "successful" blacks who are not politically "far left" -- What do you think of some people (both black and white) saying that many ethics, priorities, traits, etc. that I think MOST people would label as "good" are "white"?

As I am white, I can't speak for blacks, and I would not presume to even try to do so, but I think that if I were a successful black person by what some would call 'white standards' (meaning that I had a good job and paid my bills and felt good about my life and accomplishments), I would very much resent being told that my success occurred because I "gave in" to white culture; and I think I would also resent it if my Christian faith was treated as something that is "white". (According to the following, 80% of U.S. blacks are Christian, which is a higher percentage than whites.)

P.S. If I have not made it clear, I think that such things as being financially responsible are NOT traits that are defined by, or exclusive to, any particular skin color or ancestry.
