re: How many times a day do you acknowledge your white privilege?

I will say that all of your privilege hasn't helped you not being insecure with how often you feel the need to tell a bunch of internet strangers how rich your family is

I do acknowledge that it is a privilege to be white. A privilege not everyone is worthy of.

This used to be true, and I certainly believed it to be true until about 20-30 years ago.
If you can manage to grow up black without a huge victimhood chip on your shoulder, you have many more advantages than whites and it's not close.
I know lot's of upper-middle class black folks whose kids go to school with my own. Trust me, they certainly have more advantages and they know it.

Amen, baw. Bless your privilege, for it is SO undeserved. You have admitted your oppressive ways, and for only $1000 donated to this here suppressed individual, you can alleviate your angst because of that privilege for a few weeks.

And the parents of those folks are likely laughing at what they see today from the new "activist".

You are also sheltered. You don't realize that the same is true for wealthy blacks, and probably more so.

And somehow you think this is an average experience. It's not. It's not. Most people growing up in the South when I was a kid had a far far different experience.
The South has this very bizarre fascination with old money and socio-economic class.

y'all are bigger pussies than the SJWs. There are currently 7 threads on the first page of the OT bitching about SJWs, Mizzou, Marksville, etc. Not sure how you could run a search without hitting a prior thread of similar whining.
Maybe mix it up, throw in some California, South Carolina, Reveille articles...

To ease some of my guilt, I ate a pigsfeet & mustard sandwich for lunch today. I washed it down with a coffee cup full of red Koolaid. It balanced everything out.

I check my white privilege every time I go to the ATM to get $400 cash out to put it in my money clip.
I make sure and get my receipt from my transaction.
Then, I drive over to the ghetto and toss it in some poor unfortunate's yard so they can see how guilty I really feel for the blessings I have received for being White.

my experience is more common amongst people on this board, which is the population i've been talking about.
and idk what the south has to do with this. i wasn't raised there.

My punishment for having my white privilege is having to put on sunscreen every time I sit by a pool, go to a football game during the day, or spend more than an hour outside. Sometimes I dont apply the sunscreen though, so I feel pain caused by the color of my skin, in a similar but lesser extent to what black people feel. However I will acknowledge no amount of sunburn will allow me to comprehend how black people feel everyday

No thanks. My white privilege just bought me a sound bar, so I would have to go into the bank to get more money. They only take cash, right?

Every morning when I wake up to get ready for work.
