White Privilege

No one will ever openly admit this exists, but I do feel it's a subtle thing. Believe it or not, there are people in existence that will still take take into account that a white guy will or won't do things that I will or will not do, even if the whole thing is unfounded. I thank the media for that, personally.

 

Took the words right out of my mouth.

 

Yes, it exists.

 

More like lack of it.

 

I only get partial white privilege.

 

I think that as a female and being in an interracial relationship, I don't have as much "privilege" as a white male would. I also think that a lot of such privilege has to do with social class.

 

It sure does

 

I think all races and all sexes have certain privileges unique to their situations.

A woman can get away with things a man can't. A man can get away with things a woman can't.

Whites get away with some things, blacks others, etc. etc.

 

So what would be considered "black privilege"?

 

Our women get away with uncanny amounts of attitude. Not quite Latina levels but still enough to make you wanna strangle somebody.

 

LOL! Yet so true

 

Your from montreal?

 

Very true, and of course the situation with the N word.

 

Get to make racist jokes and use the 'n' word without being labeled racist.

 

21. I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.

Haha, this one is funny but usually true. Although, growing up in schools that were majority black, I've encountered the opposite and often been asked about "what white girls like" over the years. However, I think a lot of that has been a joke...when I see a minority get questioned people are normally dead serious

 

The white right? It's common sence,anyone who is of European origin in America can do anything they choose. Asians can,but it mostly goes to whites. Sad..but it's the unwritten law of the land.

 

Yes, we do represent our entire race when one of us does something wrong. No one ever says, "those stupid ass white people" when one of them does something stupid. Well, when they kill themselves during bungee jumps...I do.

 

That raises an interesting point...I hear a LOT of generalizations about white people and I certainly hear things like "those stupid ass white people" all the time, but you don't hear it in as public of a way as you would with minorities.

 

I think when guys I know say stuff like that, we know it's not going to be done in a malicious manner. I've said that I see white guys out in 0 degree weathrer in t-shirts and shorts and said, wtf. But that won't ever deter them from anything. But black stereotypes are things that have been said for decades about black people, so it stings a bit more, even if some are true.

 

Everything is given to whites. This is why some get "bored" and do these crazy things,they even act like blacks. Or degrade themselfs.
