I get what Slackster is trying to say. Do privileges exist? Yes in every facet of life, but they're not wrong. Being attractive is a privilege. Being good at math is a privilege. Being tall can be a privilege. At this point the term white privilege has turned into an insult so while I get what that argument is trying to say, it is ignorant because the definition of the term has been changed to be disparaging.

No you are stupid. Does the black doctor who got into med school need to announce his black privilege to the white student who did not get in with better or similar grades?

and instead of trying to understand why they are protesting, whites have met them with resistance because they cant give away that mythical upper hand. Because they cant empathize. Because white people believe that all is equal (

There are no equals in life.

Answer this, what percentage of white people do you think are actually racist?
Posted on 9/26/17 at 10:36 am to Lester Earl
Not really
A short fat balding acne ridden white dude has less inherent privilege than an attractive black guy

I actually understand and do agree on some levels with their civil war protests.
Their police brutality and cop protests have been off the mark by alot, especially with some of the individual cases they have chose to protest

The concept of "White Privilege" is inherently racist.
It breaks down a person's struggles, successes, life experiences, tragedies, and victories down to a demeaning excuse to disparage them based on the color of their skin.
Every human being makes their own choices. Don't worry about how other people succeed or fail. Take hold of your own life.

It's impossible for things to be equal. Equal means things have the same outcome 1=1. There is no way to control outcomes. What we should strive for is for things to be fair. Are there instances where things aren't fair, absolutely. But as a whole this country does an incredible job to make things fair for everyone here, whether you were born here or not, whether you are black or white or Asian or Hispanic, ect.

Bunchie, your exact post is the poster child of this whole conversation
You are white. You can call it an excuse. You can't speak for black peoples dude. You don't have to worry about how black people fail or succeed because you aren't black!!!!

But black people can speak for white people and how easy it has been for them? If you believe that just admit there should be a double standard and maybe we can figure something out. Being a hypocrite is going to get you nowhere.

I don't see black people worried about white peoples

Ya but some people inherently experience life differently because of their skin
I know as a white male in New Orleans that there is privilege that comes alongside that
I don't know why that's so hard to admit for some people

Hey even if one person here comes to understand it or even think harder about it, it's a win, considering how much backlash is being received here. The white man cant concede anything even when his brothers are crying out to them.

Every black Saints player has more privilege than you because they're all millionaires. Its all about money. The sooner get over this skin color bullshite and realize economics is what rules the world the faster we can fix the problem.

so you are saying that white people have the advantage of being born white in american and western europe? so should african american have the advantage if all were born in africa, and so on and so on? this is purely knit picking.
at least people have the right to protest here, this would be squashed in places such as north korea and iran for instance.
