Were your parents poor? And yer grammies and granpies? White privilege doesn't mean that every cracker's rich, it means that minorities haven't had as long to build a stable family line to fall back on which makes them more likely to end up impoverished. Whites have always experienced poverty. Every race has. However, if you take the proportion of the minority that's impoverished and compare it to the proportion of impoverished white people in America, it's a rather stark difference. People build their perceptions on the world around them and seeing more impoverished minorities than average or prosperous ones can easily influence someone's paradigm, especially if they're as dumb as an American. A lot of recruiters go on gut instinct for "company culture" and poor people usually have a hard time getting on with the wealthy people who run the company that the recruiter is hiring for. Also, the recruiter is cousins with the boss.

If a white family has a history of poverty it can be hard to shake too. Just because there's a trend in white people being able to use their familial network and minorities being subtly snubbed in ways that the snubbers are't even conscious of doesn't mean that there aren't minorities who are rich as **** or that there aren't white people who are dying on the streets.

Both you and dumbasses who misuse it for bull**** really ought to consider what it actually is. We need to shame mother****ers into logic or you're just going to keep chalking it up to luck and a nice excuse. The best that most of us can do is just be mindful of what we do and try to have an open dialogue.

These kinds of examples are just awful.. Take a scenario where only white people exist and there will be the same bias based around adjectives as well. People make snap judgements all the time based on how you carry yourself, what youre wearing, etc.. I live in the sticks of NJ and worked at a grocery store for almost 4 years, while I went to college. You think my managers weren't following around the whitetrash, drug addict looking rednecks and leaving most of the "normal"/old customers be? When the occasional minority customer came in do you think they suddenly stopped paying attention to the white trash and focused on them instead? Not in my experience, maybe it's just the place I live, idk.

and the legacy thing - unless youre talking percentages that doesn't demonstrate anything. Please explain as I'm pretty ignorant about this topic.

Also, not accepting white privilege exists doesn't require evidence based on the same logic that not accepting God's existence doesnt require evidence. You don't get to just throw out reason because emotion.


To all: If everyone in the entire world was one race, do you think there wouldn't be certain groups of people that got ahead? It seems to be a fundamental characteristic of society.. what would you blame it on if there were only white people and how do you know some of those factors aren't also part of the problem currently? As always, I take the position.. yeah there's that, but there is also this.
The thing is, whether a black person looks bummy or is well dressed if they are followed around stores it's typically just for being black. I've seen it happen enough for me to be convinced. People don't get accused of being criminal simply for being white, it's only blacks. Look at the ironic "shouldn't we hold a race accountable" rhetoric spewed from Monkey and Hawk on this thread.

I can provide statistics on the legacy students bit if you want it. I'm sure I can gather plenty of wealth statistics and prosecution statistics as well that lean in my favor.

But honestly there is a large lack of statistical proof because we don't really keep good track of these things. The only thing you can go off of is anecdotal evidence. Just because it's anecdotal doesn't mean it's completely useless.


And yes, I do believe that most societies in this day and age show favoritism towards a majority. Especially in a country with as much racial tension as this one.

This. It's what I've been saying this whole time.

While a major difference would be ending systematic racism that happens with police targeting, killing and locking up minorities, I think things will eventually iron themselves out with the social evolution of America as long as we can all stop denying it exists.

White shaming, white privilege, it's all propaganda to justify "White" hatred.

Because pointing out bigotry or the fact that whites typically have more advantages in America than minorities is 'shaming' and justifies hating them in the eyes of people who don't think there is any accountability to be held for this country's racist history but also think that all black people should be held accountable when some of them steal from Chinese people.

I’m so sick of this anti-Asian bull****. First off, learn the ****ing difference between Korea and China. Second, learn the difference between running an honest business and stealing from one. Third, you live in Utah. The only reason anyone lives in Utah, Idaho, or Wyoming is to avoid blacks. Even the blacks in Utah are there to avoid other blacks. I grew up in Atlanta and live in a black neighborhood in Florida right now. White people who live as far from blacks as humanly possible who want to lecture about race relations are funny.

Did I say racism didn't exist in Ireland? I did not. We're totally racist here. I've been out of the work loop for nearly ten years now, so it may have changed, but when I was working I never saw this idea of white people being hired over other races, mostly because it looked like we just didn't have that divide, at least, not as sharply as you do over there.

That's possible. I'm not saying I know a lot about it. I'm just saying it isn't a big issue you read or hear a lot about. Neither are a lot of things; doesn't mean they're not there. I guess I'm pretty isolated really, but I'm just telling you what I see. I don't see black people being chased by Gardai, hassled in shops, shot down in the street or being particularly a large section of the homeless here.

My belief is that, race or no race, those with money, power and influence will always have the upper hand, and therefore be treated differently, to those who do not. I don't think we'll ever get away from that, as long as wealth=power.
