Yesterday I told my professor - in a discussion where he stated “if you disagree tell me” - that I did not believe white people were the only ones with privilege in this country. That I believed that white people do not benefit from a system that is solely meant to benefit them in today’s society. I said that we should not raise black children to see white people as villains bc that creates a victim hood that predetermines success. He said that my opinion was a disgrace to black people, likened it as if I were saying black people should “stop complaining”, and called it cowardly. I’m a black woman.

I also think it is important to teach the historical trauma of enslavement in America so that we do not perpetuate it, and thereby, creating a generation of victors NOT victims. I do not think there is current systems of racism and privilege that exist today though. I think black people have privilege too (affirmative action, college money, etc).

Applicable Apple I’ve recently asked a Social Justice professor about the Ivy League admissions scandal-that Asian students are subject to higher standards than their White counterparts. I asked this because I was genuinely curious as to how White Privilege would play into Asian applicants being penalized over Whites, from the Social Justice standpoint. She kept on saying Asians have been used by alt-rights and Neo Nazis as an excuse to justify racism. When I told her that didn’t seem to address my question directly, she got frustrated and started to tell me that: (a) Asians were newcomers that have not experienced racism in the US; and (b) they are over-represented anyway, so their enrollment needs to be capped. WHOA!!!!!!!!! First, (a) is factually incorrect, but she hadn’t even heard of the railroad workers or the Chinese Exclusion Act...when she is a self-proclaimed civil rights champion. She *was* aware of the Japanese American internment but, instead of developing a meaningful dialogue, she immediately asked if I was aware of the cruel things the Japanese (not Japanese American, of course!) government had done prior to that. Seriously. I didn’t realize Social Justice was big on scapegoating. Second, I pointed out to her (b) sounded incompatible with the Social Justice framework-to present hurdles to make things harder for people of color, under the entire premise of White Privilege. Her response? “Asians aren’t generally considered people of color because, unlike Blacks and Latinos, they chose to come to the US.” She added that I needed to do my homework and learn history before asking stupid questions. LESSON: Asians are VERY INCONVENIENT to Social Justice Worriers because Asian success exposes the fundamental flaws in their premise of White Privilege.

In my lifetime, I hope to see more black people taking responsibility for themselves and their condition. My dad (who is black) was a veteran, a senior software engineer and he owned a school where he taught others how to code in the early 2000s. He worked extremely hard to keep us out of poverty and as a result, I was able to go to expensive private schools and grow up in upper middle class suburbs. My friends and teachers were mostly white and only ever treated me with love, care and respect. The white people who I know (and there are many) judge by character, NOT by color. After “growing up” in white America I have a completely different perspective than most. My dad taught me the importance of accountability.

I was asked to spearhead a report about why so many juveniles in detention were black. After two years of research...it came down to bias. One story stood out to explain what was happening. Police officer told us if two kids were playing baseball in a field and accidently broke someone's window...and police take both kids to the police station.... Parents are called. White kids parents show up...take the kid home, charges are likely dropped. Black kids parents don't show up to take their kid home. WHY? Because it was the policy the the police to run background checks on any minority that entered the police station...even f they just stopped to ask for directions! Why did the police discriminate in this way...? Because they knew minorities are more impoverished and were more likely to have outstanding warrants. So, because the parents fear the police (with good reason) what happens to the child whose parents would not pick him up? He goes to detention...sometimes for months!!!! How does that impact his thinking about the world? Good for you that your dad worked so hard....but it does not deny that systemic racism exists.

I do wish Ben would have addressed incarceration differences. As a liberal person, one argument I've always found powerful for systemic racism is precisely this issue. With a quick Google, landed on the ALCU's website that says "Marijuana use is roughly equal among Blacks and whites, yet Blacks are 3.73 times as likely to be arrested for marijuana possession." Perhaps one can explain this all away that in denser, urban areas, more arrests will happen so if more black people live in this area than white people, that's what causes it. That's still a gigantic problem related to race. If you want to say, like Bernie did, that it's really all a class problem and racism can basically be reduced to that, fine. But to me at most they seem incredibly wrapped up together. Because then that would lead people's perceptions to assume black people in general are poorer, and therefore likelier to be criminals, etc. and that would spill out to society's judgments in general.

[@DestinyC1020]

THANK YOU!!!! 👏🏾 To try to pretend that this country's systemic and institutionalized racism hasn't had an effect for generations is just really naive and obtuse if you ask me.

[@JSilb]

There are a lot of details missing in those stats to draw any conclusions. First, are the use stats self-reported…have they checked for self reporting bias? Are these arrests just for possession or incidental possession charges in association with arrests for other crimes and/or possession of additional types of drugs? We already know there’s a crime rate disparity. Or perhaps it’s a behavior/visibility thing. It’s harder to get caught for possession when you smoke in a private residence and your drugs remain hidden than if you are out in public or in a car. Or a police presence thing. If people in your neighborhood are committing a lot of crime, maybe there is more police presence to get caught for petty crimes. Or a geographic thing- southeastern states with higher black populations probably have stricter drug laws than western states. Does “possession” exclude “possession with intent to sell” because there are reported disparities in the rate of drug dealing. Of course it is absurd the government is even meddling with the sale and possession of herbs and drug laws do have racist roots, but that doesn’t mean these modern stats are evidence of systemic racism.

[@EmilyPorter]

in my observation black culture is less discreet about marijuana use. it's quite popular to smoke in the park, on the front porch, or driving. and as the other reply suggested it's hard to tease out from other primary crimes being committed. how did this person get arrested for possession?

[@boydmerriman]

The problem with that video is that they started off assuming the neighborhoods are all white or all black. It is assuming there are no rich or middle class black people living in better neighborhoods with better schools, and it is also assuming that there are no poor white people living in poverty and going to poor schools. It is also assuming that the poor black people has no access to better jobs just up the road from there. I live in a mixed neighborhood with middle class blacks, including one who paid cash for his home just across the road. He has his own business, drives nice cars and trucks and the other black neighbors are also driving very nice cars, equal to or better than the one I'm driving. It is also assuming that the reason the white boy lives in a better neighborhood is because he is racist, not because his father and mother just simply did better like my black neighbors have done. Too many assumptions based on very weak evidence.

Look, in my humble opinion, the right way to define people is simply to say 'Americans' and disregard race. But society isn't ready. Just look at Election Polls, they have to cut the pie to tell you how many black, white or asians voted. Go fill out a job application, they ask race and want to cut the pie to how they think. And, here's another one, employers can now ask you if you are under 40, just the same as asking if your are over 18. Congressional Law changes this nonsense. But I don't even hear talk of this! Because our ancestors voted in stupidity decades and decades ago, we live with this stupidity still. Tearing down statues won't fix it, we need to stop asking Americans to define themselves into compartments for the stupid Laws they want to label us with based on the color of our skin.

If I brought home all A's and one B, I was never praised. My dad would ask, "What happened with the B?" I was told that we had to go to college and that they also (my parents) were not going to pay for it. Neither one of my parents are college graduates. My parents were not wealthy by any means. My dad waited 2 years to get in at one company and has been there most of my life. My parents bought their first home when I was in 11th grade. My brother received two nominations (very rare) to the United States Naval Academy. I went into the Army, finished my degree, and am now a Senior Network Engineer. My sister is a stay at home mom. My parents pushed excellence and accepted nothing less. They had their struggles and sought to make sure things were better for us. Did they teach us about our past history? You betcha!

[@lakitawright6003]

@@hithere748 Redlining didn't exist at the time of Black Street, you couldn't enter the neighborhood to even see a house to buy -- unless your were a gardener, handyman or housekeeper -- hence, "sundown towns." They built BWS by aggregating their own money (like China town today). However, BWS wasn't the only town that was burned down or even flooded to hide massacres (Lakes Smith, Martin, and Lanier) but NUMEROUS other prosperous black towns were burned to the ground as well. What would the Asian community look like if every chinatown (including their banks) were burned down and insurance companies refused to pay out? You would probably say, they should use their homes as collateral to build again? Yes, provided 1) you owned your home in which most black people then , or even now, don't own homes -- they are forced to rent. I'm sure you know that rent is cheaper than a mortgage. and 2) provided the bank will give you a loan. Good luck. Nixon had to pass a bill in the late 70's requiring banks to give loans to qualified applicants who deposited money in those banks. Sounds like common sense but black people were denied loans even if they owned their own homes outright (watch the movie "THE BANKER" starring Samuel L. Jackson and you'll understand). This has caused great animosity between black and immigrant business owners. Immigrants are given small business loans, with NO collateral, while black families are denied loans when they have a house that's completely paid for, as collateral. (If you're paying attention to what's going on in Chicago today with illegal immigrants given thousands of dollars in stipends -- it's nothing new). University of Wisconsin released a study showing that a white couple making $30,000/yr with the same credit score as a black couple making $100,000/yr had the same rejection rate when applying for a loan. Even if you own your own home, it is valued less, actually the black housing market is UNDERVALUED in the BILLIONS according to Brookings and other studies. I live in the one of top 10 wealthiest black neighborhoods in the US and the highest black ownership (98%). Everyone is white collar (Dr.s, lawyers, CEOs) the average house is $400,000 . . . . yeah and we have NO BANK in our community. We have to deposit our checks in the middle class white neighborhood next door and they sweat us when we apply. We have been practicing capitalism without capital. In other words "we make bricks without straw." If you saw our community with lakes, winding roads and 2acre lots you'd be impressed in how beautiful it looks and yet shocked that it is INTENTIONALLY undervalued. Our houses should be twice the price. So, even if we were to get a loan we are hindered by how much we can get. If you are genuinely interested in learning how this really works I can send you links but if you just want to say: "Black people just don't want to work" . . . then God bless and have a good life.

1) Jamal's family cannot afford to move and live in the suburbs. 2) Vouchers do not cover all school expenses. Therefore, Jamal's family will need to fund the additional 2+k needed. 3) Jamal's family will have to figure out how to get Jamal to and from the school outside his district. It isn't magic. 4) You can change a policy, but that does not equate to a change in cultural attitudes and beliefs. No one knows this more than white people who live in white spaces. 5) The most common form of social mobility is horizontal. 66% of intergenerational social mobility is either stagnant (maintaining class status) or downward. 6) I find it odd that we question the relevancy of implicit bias in regard to race disparities, but every business school I know of teaches the value of cognitive bias. Ten, to be exact. Interestingly, Ben describes the process of cognitive biases in his explanation of name recognition. BTW, both examples hint at cultural bias. 7) Ben neglects to explain that minorities earn significantly less than their white counterparts in the same occupations. 8) If we modeled our education system after the military education system for military personnel, we would see vast improvements. They pay teachers well, provide all class materials, have small class sizes, and provide meals. The result? Significantly better outcomes despite race, ethnicity, and gender. Additionally, the children of officers share the same classrooms as the children of privates. 9) Failed neighborhood schools? Fix them! Revamp the system. 10) Lastly, I agree neither party has produced functional policies. We know this because we see the outcomes in diverse red and blue states and counties. Again, military schools for the children of military personnel outperform all others. Let's give that a try.

The problem is that teachers (I’m a former teacher myself) go to school to change the world. They know the pay sucks. They complain that they work too many hours. Once all of this reality kicks in, they bitch and moan that they are just as valuable s doctors, police, firefighters, first responders. Yeah. No. “Virtual learning” has been proven that they need to step up their game and stop being pussies. Go back to work. Get sick. Get better. DO your job. This is the reason why I am now a successful personal trainer and strength coach. I like to make money and live comfortably.

[@brendonbuffaloe8830]

Fresh.Mootz I would argue good teachers are more valuable than doctors and especially firefighters and police officers (all you need is a GED to become one) because they are the people responsible for the developing the NEXT generation of doctors, engineers, farmers, politicians, lawyers, etc. What good does it do to have a brilliant person if they can’t help the next generation be just as good as them or better?

[@brendonbuffaloe8830]

I was looking for this comment. My school district is very wealthy because Shell Oil pays taxes to our district, but the Robin Hood Act literally takes OUR tax money and gives it to other, poorer districts. I’m okay with them doing this, but they can’t play both sides of the coin and complain about educational inequality.

Democrats were the ones that fought to keep slavery so it's not surprising they did it. But that's always a funny subject to me, our two party system I mean. George Washington warned us about the issues with parties and he was right. We regard parties like fans regard football teams. It has a larger impact on all of us than systemic racism. At least that focused on one group... Our party issues target all Americans. But whatever... Go team!!!

[@EpiphanyTripleX]

@Zachariah Gordon I totally agree about the impact of systemic racism. If you stab a person they don't heal the moment you remove the blade, which seems to be the idea with some people in regards to systemic racism. It bleeds and takes time to heal. Unfortunately our past is going to require a century or two to shake that issue away. We can only do our best now so that our descendents will live the best life they can. It's not fair but nobody said life would be.

@@keving1085 I suspected you were referring to the rates but i wasn't sure by the way you put it. I'm not denying the statistics; it's the claim that it's tied to some sort of systemic or even institutionalized racism that has poor logic and no evidence. It has everything to do with the mindset that one race still has it better/worse than the other, because of racism. Ironically, this is what keeps racism alive.

And our government approved it. Now this jerk is trying to lead you to believe that it had nothing to do with race when it's plainly says it in black-and-white. Not to sell to anyone but caucasians. Now do you still believe it has nothing to do with racism but instead classism. Give me a break
