Reverse positive hyperbole.

When I go to my grandkids college graduation which I really do not want to attend which runs smoothly. I did not see African American people dancing on the stage to make something that is a waste of time last even longer.
When I drive down my street and I do not hear rap music blaring, gun shots, garbage thrown everywhere, two or three drug deals, or pit bulls running loose.

I am now going to think of one based on the evidence I collected to keep in the same vein as the thread.

No. I was just ready to get the hell out of there. I act like I've been there before because I have.

Then it's not privilege. You earned it -no guilt required.

I have to white privileged every week for about 50 hours while a bunch of scumbags insist that I don't earn what I have.

When I insist you brush, floss, and mouthwash before spit shining my shoes to a glossy shine.

I also do not see my neighborhood empty of African American males on father’s day. The people in my neighborhood take responsibility for their kids and do not leave town on father’s day.

Yup....people only see the end result. They don't see somebody eating ramen noodles for weeks so tuition is paid or staying up a few nights straight because it's finals week and they couldn't take off of either of their jobs. I only have one job now with regular hours and 40 hour weeks but damn...it was tough getting here.

This is 100% incorrect. To the point where the opposite is actually true.

I don't know how one defines white privilege.
My youngest goes to a school that is 99% white, so I guess that counts.

Most White folk are privileged to have their own ideas and thoughts. They aren’t handicapped with being slaves to the government.

I am able to purchase pants that fit, so I don’t have to hold them up when I walk or have people see my underwear.

When I'm gassing up on a bad area, I'm usually the first one approached for change.

Is that black privilege?

When a police officer sees me he often gives a polite wave after I give an initial polite wave.
