A perfect example of this are the mostly white police unions. Up until the last 10 years or so, they really did not have to be held accountable for their work. Now that cellphone cameras are ubiquitous, they are being asked to be held accountable there is a "war on cops", LOL.
That's public employee privilege, not necessarily white privilege.

LoL not really. I work for the government and we have cameras on us pretty much 24/7. It's really only the mostly white police union which seems to have an issue with being held accountable. You don't see the Post Office workers, Teachers, Court Clerks, or Fireman upset because they are being recorded.

Who knew all along it was the system that made me successful, here I have been working hard like a sucker. Should have just coasted on the gravy train that is my white privilege. I'm going to stop working and just live off of the privilege, someone please help me out and tell me where the checks are coming from.


Life is easier when you take responsibility for your own actions.

. . . and MAY yield quite favorable rewards, as well.

No, can your brain not process the difference between both pictures?

Life is easier when you take responsibility for your own actions.
When you take responsibility for your own actions, work equally hard as the next, keeping your nose clean, and STILL get significantly less reward for your troubles, then there is an issue. Like glass ceilings, for instance. We are either going to choose to live up to the original American ideal of work ethic getting you ahead, or retreat to the old privilege concept wherein the divinely selected (or just lucky to be born in the preferred mode) shall reap the benefits, and all others properly subjugated, meekly accepting their defined "place" in society.

Just because angry white guys are losing some of the hegemony their forebearers have enjoyed for centuries, doesn't mean they are nearly the sorrowful victims they would try to make themselves out to be.
Self-victimization isn't terribly manly either, tough guys.

But fear not, Fox News Nation, CA is a big state, and we compassionately carve out well-gerrymandered desert and forest lands for you guys where you can spend all your frustrations yelling and shooting into the ether, finding unlimited camaraderie amidst the desperate state of the Declining Angry White Man in America. Still not sure why one would endure the liberal hell that is CA when there are SO many better-suited deep, dark red zones in which to assemble the conservative gaggles (oh wait...it's a money accumulation thing?), but we understand that some people just like to start fights for sport, so in that context, it all makes sense. Peace is for wimps anyway, right?

Turning to dealing drugs, robbery, burglary, etc. for income is also a way to lash out. Employers know this too.
You obviously don't know what "twice as good" means.

Not to mention disparities in terms of the criminal justice system - such as sentencing disparities, let alone extra judicial deaths at the hands of police (not even getting a chance at justice or the due process of law) by race.

What's the difference? You have a white person exercising the first and second amendment and the second picture you have a group of black people doing the exact same thing.
