no im not, its that way with plenty of things. internet 'society' is much different than real life because you ar einteracting with a much different crowd than in real life, it evne varies from forum to forum. its like even with certain artists as an example who might be under rated in real life but over rated on certain message boards.
my point is that on the internet i find my white privilege much more exagerated to the point i dont think its accurate. i recognize white privilege and benefits of being white. but i also think that ppl like those in the vid i posted are idiots and allow room for a culture to exist of blaming whites and that isnt productive for anyone.
i see it in my city and the world around me all the time. its not even just race, just in general a lack of accountability in this society which i realize ive ranted too much about in several threads. ive already given my stance on trayvon shooting NOT being a race issue and those thinking it is are foolish. minorities of every kind blaming the majority, trying to guilt them. the people i hear complaining about white privilige the most are often the ppl who arent doin a damn thing to help the image of their culture or stereotypes and instead are validating them to an extent. i see people commit crimes then theres this public outcry (albeit not the majority of people) who want to blame middle class white culture for the actions of poor blacks?? and complain about generalizing when thats exactly what they are doing?? it reeks of hypocricy. it isnt productive in any way.
