I’m not sure why it bothers other white conservatives to acknowledge privilege. . I work with lots of Black guys in my job (as well as Asians and others).

Often the job involves late nights and we get questioned by cops or security. The ongoing joke is to “let me do the talking” and while it’s a joke, it comes from years of us all observing that when I as a white guy talk to cops/security things go easier. Doesn’t matter the race of the cop.
Why things like this or “privilege” as it were bothers people here when it’s acknowledge is strange.
Is it a privilege to be able to get accepted in a university simply because of your skin color (they're denying other races who are more qualified)?
I'll hang up and listen.

There is a pretty clear connection between ugly people and liberals.

Seems like the fact you are white has nothing to do with it. I don't have a problem talking to cops either, cause I'm not an arrogant, self-entitled arse when speaking to them. I know folks that are, they always seem to have issues.

It is. Universities use race/economic status/region/nationality/etc to try and build the clas they want. It’s easier to get into many schools if you are froma rural area, for instance. In that case “rural privilege”

I don’t think the cops are racist, I think they are conditioned based on their time on the streets to be more cautious with black people. But that’s still “white privilege” as the specific black guys I work with didn’t do anything to be viewed suspiciously and I didn’t do anything to be trusted.

Yet all I hear is crickets from the group who seems obsessed with privilege. And what I mentioned is legal. At least the Minn. cop is being tried for murder. Those same agitators are defending affirmative action.
Foo was right, people only seem to be concerned with one type of privilege...

Considering crime rates and police interaction, blacks are actually underrepresented in police shootings.

And why does 13% of the national population make up 70% of the prison population? The answer that the left and black leaders like Sharpton & Jackson never want to acknowledge is that the black family unit is missing a crucial component in many cases. The baby daddy much less the father is nowhere to be found.

This is your personal assumption and not a statement of fact.

I don’t even know if I’ve ever seen a meter maid that wasn’t black.

OK What about a black conservative?
Cronyism is a far bigger problem in America that anti-black racism.

I work with a lot of black men and women also, and there have been countless times that I've heard unsubtle anti-white racism directed at very fine non-racist people.

Several of the black people I work with are too dumb to do their jobs, even more of them are so lazy, belligerent, or disobedient that they should be fired. They aren't fired because of racism optics, fear of racism lawsuits, and affirmative action.
That is black privilege.

So why would a black cop bow down to your white privilege? I don't think so. It's probably your attitude and his experience, besides you can't predict the outcome of the situation that didn't occur.

It bothers me because the leftist and dumb blacks have teamed up to focus on this fake enemy that won't solve anything. I'm tired of dealing with people that want to "act black" being rude, obnoxious, and unlawful.
I'm tired of them thinking that they can cut into the front of the line because they are black.
I'm tired of them thinking that THEY decide whether they did something wrong, and how the ball is going to bounce afterwards.
We can't appease them anymore.
