White Privilege Is a Thing. Here’s How It Works.

From the moment a white person is born they are afforded certain privileges. While the extent and nature of those privileges vary, one thing’s consistent: If you’re white, society says, “You’re out here winning.”

Peggy McIntosh, a white scholar who started studying white privilege in the 198os is credited with introducing this concept (pdf) to the mainstream. She said, “I’ve come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was ‘meant’ to remain oblivious.”
That sounds about white right.

I'll leave you guys to discuss.
I'm actually leaving for work and won't be back home until after 8 p.m. tonight, after my after work Klan meeting. My mortgage was due yesterday. I'm grateful that my hard work allows me to be put in a position that my employer finds me valuable to their team and to keep "whiting" a paycheck. And thankfully, my payment posted on-line in time to avoid any late fee. However, I know that if I were unemployed and late with my payment, my skin color would have absolved me from any wrongdoing.

There is quite a lot of historical evidence that suggests this is just fricking ludicrous.....the privilege was earned one way or the other.

In the name of George Washington, Donald Trump, and the White Spirit!

The greatest privilege I have is my parents are amazing and definitely out here winning. They couldn't be better role models.
Idgaf how pasty white you are. If your parents suck major arse, life is probably going to be more difficult for you.

I am glad I am not so miserable to be saddled with grief and guilt like this

I wonder what some ole baw did to her back in the day to get her to hate all men to the point that it's a college course now.

This is a hard and fast fact that a lot of people for some reason don't get.

People bitching about it is ridiculous and white folks have struggles just like anyone else.
BUT to say by simply being a white male doesn’t give you certain privilege is being a bit obtuse.
Once again the whole thing is ridiculous and I am not going to apologize for being while.

So basically if you finish school, get a job, and earn money you can get anything you want. Then people who do the same respect you and may help you out if you ever get in a jam as you would for them. Sounds unfair to me

How do y'all even find this shite...?

She should bake some cookies and maybe make a quilt IMO.
