Definitely not all, but it seems to me about 95 percent of arguments about white privilege, one could simply replace white with “wealthy.” It makes the whole thing seem so faulty. Like who is more “privileged”?, Will Smith’s kids or a white kid born to a single mom in a trailer park in rural Kentucky?

The issues in this country are 100% financial. Just attach whatever group you are in or expect to bootstrap your and start crying

Black poor are oppressed.
Black wealthy are overcomers.

Learn the rules.

Not a thing, and because it is not a thing it is a non-starter for any debate.

An argument can't exist when they don't fully define "white privilege" and constantly shift the meaning based on political necessity.


The fact is no one really believes in "white privilege" to the level activists believe, but it's a useful tool for power.

Sounds like something someone with white privilege would say.

White privilege does not exist. However favoritism does, in all races by alike races...

People are constantly bombarded with data showing how inadequate their lives and lifestyles are, while completely ignoring how much they already have and how substantial their lives are.

Pathetic, honestly.

According to the “theorists” the police see only black and white, OJ and Dr. Huxtable notwithstanding.

Its all fiction.


White privilege is the biggest crock I've ever heard. There are actual dumbasses posting on this board that all white people are advantaged over all black people.

White privilege is coming from a two parent home where they value discipline and education. Anyone of any color can have white privilege. It gives a person an enormous advantage over people who don't have it.

Just my opinion, but I sincerely believe the black community sees injustice differently than we do. Almost all lower class white, black and brown all face the same plea deals when they screw up. Not a secret, right? But for some reason, Blacks tend to glom onto a larger or more publicity based narrative when it comes to crime and people of affluence. Almost always white examples.

And some of it is legit... the men in the high towers have the means to fight the system. Duh. But white collar crime and a possession charge aren't apples to apples.

I'm in the camp that really wishes the playing field was balanced but it's just not. Color be damned. A DUI for a 6 figure white dude many times does get less than a poor black guy. Same as a poor white guy vs a 6 figure black guy. But that's never brought up.
