My daughter (no pics) got zero help from UF. Her Latino classmates with a lesser GPA and parents that are high earners got full rides. They all got Bright Futures (FL equivalent of TOPS) Once you counted private scholarships, my daughter's is mostly paid for. The Latino kids made money. One bought a new Camry with the extra money.

My daughter used to think white privilege is real until she saw how it actually works. When she graduates, the Boosters will hit her up for money.

For example, when shopping in the beauty aisle, we might point out the plethora of white hair care products, whereas Black hair care products are often shoved into one small corner, and just a few options are available

BINGO

Another neat attribute of this phenomenon are white people like the author who not only do not live around other races, but REFUSE to do so. Then, they have the audacity to call those of us who are the minority in the south "Racist".

The Wal Mart less than a mile from my house proves this statement false. Why? Because we actually LIVE in a diverse area.

I agree that black kids do have some hurdles that white kids typically don't. They way police approach them if pulling them over

Because historically, the police are accustom to having to deal with them resisting arrest. I bet, if starting today, they 100% stopped resisting arrest, within a year, they would be treated differently by the police.

Black parents don’t have the luxury of not discussing white privilege with their children. Refusing to discuss white privilege with our children because it makes us uncomfortable is in and of itself a white privilege.

Give me a motherfricking break


Bubble dwellers think every white person is born into wealth.

There is an inherent advantage to looking like the majority of the population


Its not universal, which destroys the privilege myth.

What parents should be telling their kids is that that should not be brainwashed by the fake news that is the liberal progressive news media.

In reality, at least in my region, literal backpacks and most of the materials inside are given away freely on an annual basis just before school begins, and not to white children.

One is a short, fat troll doll. The other is a gay dude. They were both going pre-med. Neither is now because they could not pass chemistry.

Or realized that "white" hair care products can and are used by other races.

My great great grandparents immigrated from Ireland & landed in Boston. Where the Irish were looked down as poor, illiterate trash. Family research & passed down history reflects that my great great grandfather worked 3 jobs, my great great grandmother working as a maid while raising 3 children.Generations later, my family is considered successful by any standard. Their skin color was white. Wanna guess how many of their children/descendants even owned a "backpack"? Nah, my kids were educated as to how important hard work & discipline are in striving for a successful life. Where did this term originate? White liberals, right?

Racism is the original sin of the religion of progressivism.

White privilege is a concept dreamed up by trust fund kids who thing every white person has economic privilege. Anyone who thinks their skin has never put them at a disadvantage has never been around anyone but their own kind.
