you know the saying.. 'its a man's world'?  Its a wealthy white hetero man's world

men have privilege over women.

black men have privilege over black women.

a white woman has privilege over a black woman.

white heterosexual men have a privilege over white homosexual men

a rich man has a privilege over a poor man.

where race, gender, sexual orientation, sex, class meet is intersectionality.

I just how it manifests itself so I can get privileged in this world.

You already are.  You don't have to do anything.  It manifests itself in thousands of ways, but here are a few:

1. When you apply for a job, your resume doesn't get rejected based on your name.
2. When you get pulled over, you get the polite cop who doesn't cut your seats open looking for drugs.
3. When you walk into a Walmart, the employees don't watch you like a hawk.
4. When you shop for a car, they don't ask to run your credit and job history before you go on a test drive.
5. When you go to a restaurant, they don't try to put you in an out of the way corner.
6. When you go to rent an apartment, you enjoy lower security deposits and credit score requirements.
7. If you are convicted of a crime, you get a shorter sentence.


That's just a few examples.  There are many more, though.  You probably rarely go a day without enjoying the benefits of your white privilege at least a few times.

(do) blacks in (a) white nation suffer from lack of privilege, and vise versa? do you think it is synonymous or should be synonymous? or is this not about sufferance but about simply having the privilege while the majority? what happens when that majority shifts? does a previously white nation then become a "black nation"?

Do you think the national socialists in early 30's Germany ran for parliament on the Holocaust?

If you're a nazi, you have to stay on the edge of the Overton window. That way, the centrists will defend you and give you cover until you get enough power to expel them too.

have you never heard the "first they came for the socialists" quote? it exists for a reason.

What a great post. Unfortunately, it was completely overlooked, so I'm going to repost it, and add this:

Quote:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

That's right, the Nazis didn't run on creating a Holocaust, but they were certainly a fringe, radical right wing party, and there were signs. The kind of signs Qman and others conveniently ignore. Now we're expected to sit back and watch white supremacist demonstrations, driving automobiles into crowds of protesters, and shooting them.

Yes, white privilege is racist.  Black privilege is racist.  Male privilege is sexist. Female privilege is sexist.

I have big dick privilege, I'm not doing anything about it to make small dick people feel better.

Maybe it's a complete waste of time to constantly point out perceived inequalities, where does it stop?  Should I cut some of my dick off?

answer the question, man. all i'm asking is for you to be honest.

PS: alot of BLM disagrees with your notions, by the way. to alot of people only white people can be racist, and this meme is growing on the left, because people...the left, and just ordinary people...are idiots. but you'll accept that, though.

Wouldn't Asians have privilege over whites in an Asian nation?  Or does this majority "privilege" just apply to white majority cultures?

It seems you're complaining about a natural phenomenon that occurs everywhere since the beginning of time.

Asians absolutely have privilege over whites in Asian nations.  Blacks have privilege over whites in most African nations.

Yes, we have no choice other than to "sit back and watch white supremacist demonstrations". It's called freedom of speech.

Obviously, yes. That is kinda how it works.
