re: Is white privilege a real thing?

Do you believe your life wouldn't be any different if you were another race, say a minority. I believe you have a son who is a minority, if I may ask, what do you tell him, if anything at all, about growing up a minority?

He's got everything going for him, the color if his skin is not an issue. Good schools, good friends, sports.

He doesn't know he's supposed to be repressed. I hope it stays that way.

99% of this board would choose to be respected and successful over hated and relying on handouts, so there you go. That isn't anything against black people. That's a cut against worthless people

My dad didn't tell me anything, really. Just told me to work hard. People called me half breed, made fun of the way my dad talked because of his accent (said he talked like a retarded person). Other rich kids wouldn't play with us because we were "new money". Kids made fun of my name constantly. Prejudice is all around you. It's not a white/black thing. It's a human nature thing.

I disagree. Many, if not most people, are attracted to the exotic

this is not even remotely close to true. Like at all. You can say people are attraced to "the exotic" as some general catchall, but we're not talking about in general, we're talking about selecting 1 other human to be with the rest of your life. And by FAR, people marry within their own race. All races. Blacks typically marry blacks, whites with whites, and on an on. It doesn't make you a racist for preferring to be with someone that is extremely similar to you.

Made up phrase for those who have no real desire to better themselves and look for an excuse to blame someone else. While privilege phrase sounds good and is now trendy to use by worthless folk..... Dump your shallow friend!

You don't think he'll ever run into any racial problems, however minor or major it could be?

just to play devils advocate here, do you think a white kid growing up in harlem would experience any racial unpleasantness growing up and going to school with majority blacks?

Kids are cruel, period. Middle schoolers are vicious beasts regardless of color.

Wut. In what way does this refute what I said? 90% of this board would choose to be white over any race, black/Hispanic/asian, etc.

I know a girl that only dates blacks because "she doesn't want people to think she is racist"

no way..

I am white and I have the priveledge of working...

So black people do not have too....

My dad is pretty dark, my mom is white. My brother is dark, my sister is kind of olive. My other brother is fair skin. I'm white, but not fair. I tan well, though. So, I don't know. White with caramel filling? Which dessert is that?
