She said " No I mean where are you FROM?" Confused, I replied, " I was born in the hospital in town." She kind of shook her head like I didn't understand the question and then, "I mean you must have lived most of your life somewhere else and then came back right? You dont sound like a Southerner. You dont sound like you're from around here."

But, at any rate, even if we assume that your experiences losing job opportunities simply become of your race were accurate and true, I certainly don't believe the guys story in the original post.

But, I don't think that it's as big of a deal or problem as some people are making it out to be. Blacks should obviously be held to the same standards as the rest of us. Whoever is most qualified for a job, or a school should be the one who gets it. Blacks are 100% just as capable as anyone else if they try. But, dysfunction is still reverberating in the black community from the lingering effects of slavery and racism. So, they may need a little help to get them going. But, it appears clear to me that that is changing drastically within the black community. I think that the vast majority of blacks are now just as capable as any other race to achieve success in any field that they choose. So, imo, affirmative action should very soon be coming to an end. And, regarding "diversity hiring", that should have never existed in the first place. In fact, I believe, without a doubt, that "diversity hiring" (& affirmation action for that matter), is a constitutional violation, to deny someone a job/school (eg. a Caucasian), based solely upon their race. And, the constitution will absolutely protect anyone who can prove that they have been denied due to their race.

Grant or even Lincoln. n) Privilege is being able to get into almost any college of your choosing based on your race, not your grades or merit o) Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the working men and women who DO HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS! you know, those you now call “PRIVILEGED.”

Great discussion here. I’ve never understood the concept of ‘white privilege’ because everything I’ve ever had, I’ve earned through hard work and determination-just as those before me did. It’s natural to want to provide my children with the best opportunities for a successful life. Whether with or without assistance, those who achieve their goals do so through perseverance and effort, which also builds character and other virtues. My advice is simple: stay focused, surround yourself with successful, positive people, and avoid those who want to pull you down.

[@Soulsphere001]

Another example of white privilege is that white people don't have to deal with race issues at all if they don't want to. If you're the majority, you tend to be the default and you're not forced to adapt to the culture of another race of people. People who aren't white are forced to adapt to white culture in some ways and are affected by it in sometimes negative (and sometimes positive) ways.

But basically people are forced to adapt in the ways that the majority wants. Though I suppose that rich people don't have to adapt as much. There are aspects of all cultures that are 'wrong', whether intentionally or unintentionally. I could go through some historically wrong events that 'white culture' perpetuated, but my guess is you don't need me to. Besides, cultures are constantly evolving.

I am a conservative politically and do not agree with the liberal definition of “white privilege.” I don’t believe in systemic racism, I don’t believe one’s skin-color holds them back from success in my country (America.) However, White privilege does exist in the sense that if you are black or even bi-racial, you are subject to negative stereotypes daily. In addition, you are made to feel (especially as a woman) that you are ugly if you have kinky hair or black features because European features are the standard of beauty. Even though I am very light and resemble Meghan Markle (I am told this almost daily) I as a child was called the “N” word multiple times growing up in a white neighborhood, most of the baby dolls and barbies I saw in the toy store as a child were white, I was teased at 4 years old and told I was adopted by the neighborhood white kids because my birth mother is white with blond hair and blue eyes. This brings about pain and a realization that you are viewed differently by society VERY early on. You are white, and obviously a racist and extremely ignorant so you will never, ever understand this. Not ever.

When I was very young I noticed that at school the Indians got everything for free. For example, if they needed a new binder or gym shoes, they’d go to the office and what they needed was given to them. In addition, I also noticed that they were not treated the same. For example, I got in trouble one day at school, but not a word was said to my Indian friend. Later that night, my mom explained that the teacher did not want to be called a racist.

[@kevinbaldwin7805]

Anything that teaches concepts of "guilt" or "privilege" based on skin color is abhorrent. The idea that you can target an ethnic group with a collective crime, regardless of the specific innocence or guilt of the constituent elements (the individual) of that group, there is absolutely nothing that is more racist than that.

You need to ask yourself this. If white privelege exists, scientifically it must be proven to exist in a quantifiable form. White privelege is not quantifiable.

@@RojaJaneman No I'm pretty sure it goes back even further. There's alot of theory but not a whole lot of objective facts.

[@sFalcon_86]

It is quantifiable tho, many studies have been done. For example, a person is x % more likely to sit away from a colored person than a white person. A white persons job interviews are 40% longer than a colored person. A white person is much less likely to be followed in a store than a colored person. These are all examples white people don’t understand because it doesn’t happen to them and therefore its hard to comprehend. Now I dont know the exact stats but you can research for yourself

[@sFalcon_86]

And its important to know these privileges exist regardless of the social status of the white person. You have alot of white people in the comments here saying “oh but i work 2 jobs and support my family and came from a poor background” while not realizing that privilege is not something that is dependent on your wealth but the color of their skin compared to minorities .

[@sFalcon_86]

Also this whole quantifiable definition you have is misguided. You can have abstract concepts and ideas that can exist in reality but not something that can be quantified as your suggesting. For example; the idea of Free Speech. Its simply an idea completely abstract has no weight or shape but it still exists as a concept in reality and is practiced everyday...

[@BigEvan96]

@@sFalcon_86 I agree 100%. Culturally in America free speech is accepted as an ideal. It is understood as "good" for society because it allows for the free circulation of ideas. "White Privelege" on the other hand is really only socially accepted by the "elite" or hard left. The idea that whites in America are only successful because of privelege is an absurd idea. Are the Japanese in Japan priveleged? What about the Spanish in Spain? Why is it that the idea of "white privelege" really only exists in America? Well it's a form of waging war with identity politics. It's "we can't have what they have so therefore they must have stolen it". It's victimhood mentality personified. I grew up poor. I'm white. (European American) I have darker skin than the average white. Things have never really been easy, and yet everywhere I go, the cultural zeitgeist tells me I'm priveleged because of the color of my skin.

[@shanouboubou]

I have to ask a few questions to anyone stumbling upon this comment and demand you answer politely so we can have a productive conversation : 1- Would you say that minorities face certain disavantages regarding jobs, education, opportunities in the US ? If your first answer's yes then is it possible that the problem most people have with the white privilege concept is the name ? Would calling it minorities disavantage (or something along those lines) make more sense for you ? In that case, would you agree that many people will face terrible hardships in their lives, no matter their skin tone ? But then (and this is where it might get controversial), wouldn't it be fair to say that no matter the many hardships white people may face in the US it's won't ever be because of their skin color ? I also want to state that not all people of color suffer hardships from their skin, in fact some might be more privileged because class privilege comes BEFORE race privilege, and so skin tone doesn't automatically mean you're privileged or not of course. If you disagree, I'll be very interested to have a CIVIL and POLITE conversation in the comments below ⬇️

[@TastemyAtrocity]

Shanou, I have to agree with you that calling it something other than privilege would ease much of the controversy surrounding the term.

[@flowerhornparadise4139]

I understand where you’re coming from the only part I disagree with is “not all people of color suffer hardships from their skin”. If you’re referring to globally there’s definitely some truth to it HOWEVER since we’re communicating in English id like to assume that you’re referring to the United States. And if you are referring to America, please believe that if you’re of color (non-white) racism is inevitable. And it just comes down to the fact that white people don’t need to teach their kids the same things as others. So if I have to teach my future kids about racism knowing that they most likely will endure it, but yet white folks don’t have to that’s when the “privilege” is evident. Long story short if you’re white you have the luxury of never experiencing or having to worry about racism whereas other ethnic groups DONT have that kind of luxury.

Ppl aren’t understanding what white privilege really feels like, as being the only Hispanic in my class I was always left out from my schools achievement awards like honor student and student of the month and majority of the time it’s because “I was doing what I was supposed to do but another kid deserved it” or simply because I just couldn’t relate to anything in class. I never went to the local popular diner or ate Mac and cheese for dinner and other stuff like that. I was literally taken out of my class and into a separate room because they wanted to see how good I could read and I usually scored really high, yet they made me do that for 4+ years. I couldn’t join sports because the school never made Spanish applications and when my mom wanted to talk to the coach personally they claimed the team was full, yet always asked students to join because “they need more members”. And all the time kids would make fun of me for my accent and being little innocent me I laughed along thinking they were playing around, until it started to progress into people straight up avoiding me and by 5th or 6th grade I was called slurs used against Mexican. I never had help from teachers because they never put in the effort to communicate with my parents and their broken English, ever since my parents went to a parent/teacher conference I think in 6th grade, I had to go translate and after that I never got a notice for conferences, or even open nights. Thankfully around 8th and 9th grade things started to change and it didn’t need my parents as much anymore. When people say white privilege doesn’t exist, look at it through other peoples eyes...you may not experience it (which is obvious if you ARE white) but others do, and it affects them....

So, lets be clear! White-Privilege started back in the early 1600’s when European immigrants were gifted an “𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿” just for making the trip across the Atlantic to the new world. Starting with the British empire’s “Head Rights” program; and later by the US Federal Government’s ”Land Grants” and “Homesteading Act”. European immigrants were gifted on average 50 archers of land, plus free labor to work that land. (𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘬𝘪𝘥𝘯𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘈𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘯𝘴.) After the Civil War, the US Federal Government was so enthusiastic about gifting European immigrants an abundance of equity, the US government gave away 2 Billion archers of land within 24 hours flat during the Oklahoma land rush. And not one inch of equity was gifted to African-American citizens …As they were newly freed slaves. Remember, the US advertised for Europeans to travel across the Atlantic Ocean. This means Europeans benefited from the first “𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺”! Affirmative Action as a concept, not law. Let’s not be confused! Since this time, White-Americans have been receiving benefits from the Federal government that poses equity. This equity is a benefit that grows in value exponentially over time. This value may be passed down through their lineage as it continues to grow. White-Americans also receive ongoing equity from the US Federal Government in the form of subsidies, low interest loans and very generous tax breaks. The group known as African-Americans have never ever received such a thing as “Equity” from the United States government. However, African-Americans do "𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀" to government programs. Yet programs don't have equity, and can't be passed down through lineage. African-Americans still await 40 archers and a mule. Only White-Americans are intentionally privileged! …or White-Privileged!

All of those advanced and progressed whilst even today, those in that continent are still living in ancient times and even those with help, funds, infrastructure, trade from the rest of the world they are still regressing with no intervention Liberia is the funniest, you know ex slaves went there and claimed the land for their own, then ironically enslaved the 'natives' but still are hilariously primitive (their 'top scientist' doesn't believe ebola exists but believes in witchcraft 😅) so don't think the rest of the world needed your people to advance cause even when you enslave your own people you're still stuck in ancient tribal era hahhaaaa
