Can I use white privilege as some sort of collateral for business loans?
Need to loan some money to business owners in Ferguson whose businesses were destroyed by white privilege.

Maybe this is why I was always compelled to sit in the front of the class

Uhm, no. You are contributing to this mindset of victimization and low expectations.

This is a good analogy actually. Whether you choose to believe it or not. If you are in the back of the room/ aka born into poverty and whatnot. Chances are it is much much harder for you to make it inside the basket. Not to say it's impossible. But you're fighting against the odds. Many will attempt, few will make it, most will fall short. Some wont even try because they'd rather complain about life is unfair as they sit in the back of the room... Sad reality we live in

If you're in the back of the room, it's typically b/c you don't give a shite and you more than likely want somebody to come get your paper, ball it up, and throw it in the can for you.

i went to public school. I had the same opportunity to receive an education from those schools, for free, as everyone else did. regardless of skin color.
The only kid in my graduating class that scored perfect on his SATs is Korean. Did he have more of a privilege than everyone else? He could hand pick whatever university he wanted to go to.

What a terrible analogy. I had the WP discussion with my sister last night and she almost made my head explode. I can't believe people get sucked into this garbage.

That had nothing to do with whites.

This is how black people became good at basketball.

I have an analogy. Me and my older brother lived in the same lower middle class house growing up. I always followed the rules, worked hard in school, and didn't take things that didn't belong to me. He always took shortcuts, less than half-assed his education, and stole. He turned out to be a POS who doesn't work and skipped out on his kids, I graduated from college and have a steady job. Explain to me how I am privileged and he is not just a POS. We started at the same place in the room.

Dammit didn't even make it to 30 downvotes before I got anchored.

Everyone's opinion of success is different. A good looking wife is enough for me. My parents overachieved, but that doesn't mean it was easier for me to obtain said hot wife because they did. Well maybe it was, IDGAF.
