Then, why do liberals bring this up all the time?

I am not a liberal, by the way.

White people have certain advantages in housing, etc, but I do know that the term white privilege is a loaded term.


What privilege do white people have in housing over let’s say Hispanic, Asian of Blacks? Do white people get prefential mortgage rate or reduced rent payments?

The only privilege I have seen is minorities and women getting hired ahead of more qualified people simply because of their privilege!!!

Ever heard of quotas. Saw it at LSU where a minority dude in our small class could hardly pass and eventually didn't but had every timber company in the country beating down his door!

See it at our work hiring policies too!

This is actually the root cause of why black people lag behind whites. Thomas Sowell discusses this at length in one of his books. Blacks raised in 2 parent homes have the same economic success and incarceration rates as whites. Unfortunately only about 20-25% are born into 2 parent homes.


^ This is 100% fact but no one wants to talk about it unless it is a liberal calling Thomas Sowell a “Uncle Tom”. The man is a genius and a true icon of his times!

it may be one of the best words in the English language

so may possible meanings

"I want it" can mean anything; I mean literally

ANYTHING

why would anyone question the validity of what is probably the best pronoun ever???

I am not a dolt, I am just saying that they are some advantages that white people have in life, but the discussion of white privilege will get America nowhere.


Dude, stop being brain washed. There is no such thing as “white privileged”. There is a “morals privilege” or “don’t be a lazy dumbass privilage”. It is a fact, proven by the Brookings Institute (a left leaning think tank) that the 3 things that will remove you from poverty is growing up in a 2 parent household, graduating HS and not getting arrested!

Whites may have a advantage in buying a home easier than some minorities, yes.

Not with mortgage rates and rent payments.

I'm not a liberal, I am an Independent thinker.

Whiteprivilege isn’t a word. So therefore it doesn’t exist.

The two individual words of white and privilege. Do exist. But that’s your choice to put them together.

Got it. You're too ignorant to understand your political philosophy. I recommend that you don't vote. Leave it to those of us who know what we are.

white privilege is not A word fool. It is 2 words. Didn't you notice the space between the e & the p?

Anyone can put any 2 words together.

example: I can put "mountaintop smart" together and it makes zero sense.

I lean conservative on some issues, liberal on some. I don't like the far left and I don't like the far right.

Liberals love racial identity politics
Conservatives deny climate change.

I am not a foolish man.
