I even had a financial aid counselor hint to me to change my ethnicity on my application. I couldn’t do that. Finally, 12 years later, I qualified for loans and put myself through college.

My great grandfather grew up in a house with no floors, he had no shoes when it was time for him to go to school. Upon becoming 18 he went to war, when he came back he didn’t have enough money to feed himself. When my great grandparents married they went through their fair share of struggle, and it was particularly hard in The beginning of their marriage (Great Depression). He worked 5 jobs at one point to keep his family fed. Including maintaining his farm. I was lucky enough to know him, and my great grandma. She died when I was 10, he died when I was 19. He was born in 1913, he was white. I am white. The privilege I’ve obtained is from his sacrifices, and the sacrifices of my other great grandparents, and grandparents. He kept his family together, praised god, worked his hands bloody, and never complained. My privilege is family privilege. Don’t put that on a skin color because I KNOW there is a black great grandpa out there who was just like mine, and his family is lucky he’s in their line.

She wasn't fully convinced at that point however because her idea of the white privilege is a bit more nuanced. Like she believes that given equal opportunities (no class/wealth differences), a white person would be treated better than a POC. Like just hanging around in front of your lawn in a suburban neighborhood: how likely is someone going to call the cops on you? Would the cops listen to you/let you go?

Anyway, I remember a time when the most food I had in the house was a big bag of corn meal, and we were flat broke. I couldn't run out and buy more food. So we ate cornbread, corn pudding, corn dodgers, etc., for nearly two weeks until I got paid again.

I lost my new job after becoming pregnant with my first child within my 90 day window, was fired when they found out. I trusted the wrong person with the news. My husband had just started a small plumbing business. We had nothing. We were very young and trying to make his dream come true of being a business owner. I tried to apply for Medicaid, just to get prenatal care. I tried to get any kind of assistance I could get. I was told my husband made $150 too much that year and could not get any assistance because I was W. I asked to speak with their supervisor. She told me the exact same thing. She literally said if I were B I could qualify for assistance. How’s that for privilege? I cried for days. Went to a temp agency that placed people in a large insurance company that I knew I could bust A at and get a job that once I was hired, I would get health insurance coverage day 1. So I hid my pregnancy and did just that. W Privilege didn’t do anything for me. Never has. Hard work however, that’s how you make it.

If growing up so poor my parents couldn’t afford to give me a middle name is white privilege, then I am privileged. If being in the military, U.S. Army 68-71, and attending college under the G.I. Bill, while working 50+ hour a week, is white privilege then I am privileged. If being self employed and starting my day at 0419 and working 10-14 hours a day is white privileged then I am privileged.

"The police pulled me over for no reason!" Ohhh, WOW, they do the same to me as well....I was just pulled over recently for allegedly making an illegal turn....I never turned, I drove straight through a green light, straight across the cross street, straight down the street, I hadnt turned for a LONG time. They asked me to get out of my truck, where am I going, what do I do. When I politely told the officer I had never turned, he immediately told me my brake light was out.....which I hadnt touched until he was already pulling me over and THEN he saw I had a brake light out. "well I came from a poor family"....Huh, are you poor now? No! Why not? Because I worked hard. Well how did you get the opportunities if its so racist...You work for a white guy right? Yes. Well, my parents lived in a garage and had to take a $500 loan out when I was born to pay for the hospital (YES, in 1970, the cost was $500), and it took them years to pay it off until my sister came along and they had to get another loan. My parents couldnt buy me a car....Okay, neither could mine. My parents couldnt afford college for me...Okay, neither could mine, they wouldnt even pay for me to take the SAT test because there was no point. One example after another....I could relate to and even had experiences that they havent. One side of my family was dirt poor uneducated hillbillies from the Appalachians, born is the shacks they lived in, the other were poor ranchers that lost their land to the state to put in a railroad....such privaledge.

On that program he made $3000 a year for a family of 5. The real point is that if you work hard, no matter what race, you will eventually succeed.

This is just how stupid people believe stupid things. I am a white male who has descended from Swedish, Scottish, Irish immigrants some of my ancestry comes from Eastern Russia, Iberia, and North Africa. I was not rich or had better chances due to any white privilege. My family was poor, we lived in a mobile home and did not have the money to buy good things, i remember being on welfare and having food assistance because jobs were scarce. I did not have the money to go to college my only options were not very good and they did not come from my being white! At 17 I enlisted in the Army to serve 4 years. Why 4 years? Because that came with a signing bonus of $25,000 also I elected to join the GI Bill and paid $100 a month for 12 months to have the ability to get college assistance. You may say $100 was not a lot but what most people don’t know is the monthly pay for a private in 1986 was barely $1000 per month! After 4 years I left the Army was recalled for Desert Storm then got out again. I went to college and earned 2 Associate Degrees by using funds from GI Bill. This allowed me to get better paying job than if I only had High School Diploma. All this was done because these options are available to everyone in America no matter what color your skin or ancestry is! I don’t believe there is white privilege, I feel there are more options available to people of different races (I don’t fill out race stuff on applications as I always right in Human Race). If anything I have to worry about it is affirmative action, will i get this job by my merit or will i lose it due to my skin color.

[@j2muw667]

Same. My whiteness allowed me to join the army, pay into the gi bill so I could afford college. 😂. Same as every other person. One girl in my basic training was even from Cuba. She joined because it’d help her get citizenship more easily. My parents were hard working blue collar. And not paying for me or my siblings education. That was up to us. My only real privilege was having been raised with faith in God. The army helped me see the world in new ways. I met all kinds of people. And the only people I ever think negative about is lazy trashy people. No matter what hair color they have. Even then, sometimes I think they just never had someone teach them better… Life isn’t ever fair. We all have different gifts and garbage in our lives.

All of the examples they gave "white people are willing to talk to me more" or "white people don't get followed around in stores as often" are only applicable when everyone in the vicinity is white.

People constantly overlook the term majority and minority. Certain races complain that they were the only ones in the office of their race but they’re also a minority, which is what the term means. You will be less represented statistically speaking, you may find yourself outnumbered by the majority race, hence majority. If a white or black person goes to Japan, the odds are if hired, they would be the only one of their race in the office, not because Japan is racist, but because they’re in a country full of Japanese people. This simple concept seems to have been bypassed in our country. If you have a country that is 80 to 85% race X and another race Y is 13 to 15% of the population, you’re gonna find yourself out numbered most of the time. Not because of racism, but because of math. May be this is why we’re not teaching math, because people might figure this out? And, privilege is nothing more than birds of feathers flock together. Again, if you go to Japan, a Japanese person is more likely to favor a Japanese person most likely because of similar culture. If I go to a neighborhood that is of a different culture, or hang out with a crowd that is mostly a different culture, I’m treated as less. It’s just how humans and even nature works. Dating is no different. You’ll give more attention to a person you find, say has more in common with you than one that doesn’t. It’s not a privilege. I’ve even experienced this on vacations.
