Thread: White Privilege

Ah, Well, just think how successful the author might have been if not for the misfortune of being born a woman.

Of course there is a degree of 'white privilege' and yes we in some countries experience it.
Fucked if I'm going to feel guilty about it though. There's a reason it's that way.

I sure didn't make it to the top of the evolutionary tree to eat either lentils, or black babies. That is my privilege.

White socialist hand outs , creates a black endemic of babies, ready to plunder your Welfare system to breed more parasitic babies.
Social hand outs should go along with sterilisation of low class women who will breed .
White trash birds fall into this same category.

Anybody ever heard of this guy Tim Wise? Does he really believe what he says or is he just making a living?

You would be more of an expert on that living in a large Muslim country.

Why not? IMHO most minorities in all of the English speaking countries are way better off than citizens of the country they, or their parents, left behind. Do they not enjoy some type of a privilege?

What do you think of this article? If you don't mind sharing your opinion that is.

It?s not White Privilege, it?s American Privilege ? Pulling the Mask off of Collectivist Fascism - Freedom Outpost

It’s not White Privilege, it’s American Privilege – Pulling the Mask off of Collectivist Fascism

"White people are bad, but it's generally white people who are criticizing this "white privilege." So, aren't the white people who criticize also bad? No, of course not! Aha! So it is not being white which is bad, it's being capitalist and individualist which is bad! We, therefore, come to the first truth about the doctrine of "white privilege" and that is that it is not about a person being "white," but about "privilege." We know this because it is the collectivists who are sloganeering, throwing rocks, and inciting riots. Oh yes they are!.

So, it's not that white people are bad, because you can be a "good" white person if you are a collectivist. Accordingly, it is "privilege" which is bad. But... these sloganeers are completely privileged. Are they not bad also? No! They are doing the "good work" of sloganeering, so they are exempt. They are better white people!".


Rest of article is in the link. Not too long of a read.

You have done a great disservice to this article by only posting thatsmall segment.

The white working class, which usually inspires liberal concern only for its paradoxical, Republican-leaning voting habits, has recently become newsworthy for something else: according to economist Anne Case and Angus Deaton, the winner of the latest Nobel Prize in economics, its members in the 45- to 54-year-old age group are dying at an immoderate rate. While the lifespan of affluent whites continues to lengthen, the lifespan of poor whites has been shrinking. As a result, in just the last four years, the gap between poor white men and wealthier ones has widened by up to four years. The New York Times summed up the Deaton and Case study with this headline: “Income Gap, Meet the Longevity Gap.”


This was not supposed to happen. For almost a century, the comforting American narrative was that better nutrition and medical care would guarantee longer lives for all. So the great blue-collar die-off has come out of the blue and is, as The Wall Street Journal says, “startling.”

White privilege is basically attached to generational privilege now. The US currently enjoys less social mobility than Europe, and this was certainly not predicated in the Gettysburg Address.

Of course it's the old story- turn you inwards on yourselves, and you will look anywhere else but to the real syndromes and causes. At a political level, the move by the USA towards an Oligarchy has been entirely deliberate. And the so called people are easily fooled.

"We raised their babies ... we can't let them incarcerate ours" ... Pastor Jamal Bryant



It's 2015 now, right? Why would a black person who didn't grow up in that era use this against white people who didn't grow up in that era? And if I'm not mistaken the percentage of people who did use black women to suckle their children represented a very small percentage of the population at the time.

** Also, notice the baby is flipping the bird. Is this supposed to represent some sort of message?

Yes, I believe it means "Fuck you honky, this ma bitch".

This says it all. White privilege. We have it and refuse to see it.

Ta-Nehisi Coates: "To Trump, whiteness is neither notional nor symbolic but is the very core of his power. In this, Trump is not singular. But whereas his forebears carried whiteness like an ancestral talisman, Trump cracked the glowing amulet open, releasing its eldritch energies. The repercussions are striking: Trump is the first president to have served in no public capacity before ascending to his perch. But more telling, Trump is also the first president to have publicly affirmed that his daughter is a “piece of ass.” The mind seizes trying to imagine a black man extolling the virtues of sexual assault on tape ('When you’re a star, they let you do it'), fending off multiple accusations of such assaults, immersed in multiple lawsuits for allegedly fraudulent business dealings, exhorting his followers to violence, and then strolling into the White House. But that is the point of white supremacy—to ensure that that which all others achieve with maximal effort, white people (particularly white men) achieve with minimal qualification. Barack Obama delivered to black people the hoary message that if they work twice as hard as white people, anything is possible. But Trump’s counter is persuasive: Work half as hard as black people, and even more is possible."

Well, actually ... from the link:

"According to Edison Research, Trump won whites making less than $50,000 by 20 points, whites making $50,000 to $99,999 by 28 points, and whites making $100,000 or more by 14 points. This shows that Trump assembled a broad white coalition that ran the gamut from Joe the Dishwasher to Joe the Plumber to Joe the Banker. So when white pundits cast the elevation of Trump as the handiwork of an inscrutable white working class, they are being too modest, declining to claim credit for their own economic class. Trump’s dominance among whites across class lines is of a piece with his larger dominance across nearly every white demographic. Trump won white women (+9) and white men (+31). He won white people with college degrees (+3) and white people without them (+37). He won whites ages 18–29 (+4), 30–44 (+17), 45–64 (+28), and 65 and older (+19). Trump won whites in midwestern Illinois (+11), whites in mid-Atlantic New Jersey (+12), and whites in the Sun Belt’s New Mexico (+5)".

Good point. Minorities in the USA and especially black Americans need to accept this as fact.

Thinking that something's not a problem because it's not a problem to you personally is actually the very definition of privilege.
