When I look out the window and my overseer is whipping the tar out of the workers.

I got caught with enough guns and drugs and money to go to jail for a min. The cops called my parents. Showed them the blow n weed. Then turned me over to them with all my money and firearms. No charges and never heard anything about it again

When I walk in the parking lot, I don’t slowly walk right down the center of the lane and block every car from moving along.

When I can't be a starting point guard in the NBA or running back in the NFL.

I had to spend a lot of money on sunscreen before I went to the Jazz Fest.

Today I saw all those black dudes that fish at the corner of Burbank and Highland in bayou fountain get written tickets by Wildlife and Fisheries. I'm sure if they were white he wouldn't have stopped.

You naive enough to think whites don't get better credit terms than similarly situated blacks?

White privilege doesn’t exist in everyday life in places where there are only white people

White people are given better interest rates on auto loans than POC with similar credit ratings... at least according to some studies.

ETA: Downvote away and refuse to face the way that the world actually is. Take credit for accomplishments that aren't actually your own.

That's why I've extended my racism to southern Europeans.

Yeah and I get a dirty look when I order Henny at Applebee's. We all have our struggles.

Cops bring me home after a night out drinking instead of jail.

In Naples? $28M lots in a gated community owned by people who live here 3 months out of the year.
Seriously, I work in a professional environment with all races and there is no privilege.

When I pay for something in the gas station and walk away before it's completely gone through. Apparently it's white privilege to be able to check your checking account balance online before you willingly start a transaction.
