Has anyone had other white friends explain to them what white privilege is? I see this all over social media with white people telling others what white privilege is. Do you take them serious or consider them idiots? I consider them idiots. SMH

On a macro level I can see it, the problem is that people then try to take it to a micro level, which is insane. Each one of us lives a unique life with unique challenges.

I'm breaking away from social media and it's been the best decision of my life.

We need to have a conversation. But later before we do I’m gonna post a video on twitter telling you to STFU

My wife claims I have white privilege yet we live in the same neighborhood with brown neighbors on both sides of us, eat the same kind of food, listen to the same music.
Aside from the difference being that I come to TigerDroppings and she doesn't , I've yet to know what she means.

Is TigerDroppings the white privilege that we all don't know about? Inquiring minds want to know...

I grew up with 3 sisters and a widowed mother in a 2br apartment

We didn’t even own a car

Getting told I have “white privilege” absolutely infuriates me

It’s like black people think every white person in American is in the 1%

It’s this app that gives great rewards coupons to all fast food joints across the country. But it’s only for whites and high yellows.

I consider anyone who post their politics and such as dumb. Left or right. I tend to unfollow those types. Just show me pics of your dog and shut up.

I feel you on this. I watched my single mother break down in tears until 12 or 1 in the morning due our struggles then woke up at 6 to catch the bus to school. And I made a choice to do well in school and do good for myself. I have yet to find my privilege. Paid for everything including college on my own.

Not so much of a fan of the term. The way its thrown around it seems like the intent of it is to make a white person feel guilty. But, if you think about it, if youre white, i promise you pretty much everything thats a dream in america is harder to accomplish if youre not white. Not saying it cant happen, just have a few more hurdles and a lower glass ceiling.

How? Most companies hire the minorities. They just have to have the motivation to go apply for the jobs.

The base of it is some of our families had more time to generate wealth.

My problem is that its 2020. People, including black people, have been able to accumulate wealth over the last 60 years. Some people lost it fricking all and clawed their way back. And not only darker skinned people are poor.

The last type of person I'll listen to a lecture on white privelege is another white person.

SJWs are desperately trying to steal the attention from black people.
