Admitting your white privilige
    #26861859 - 08/04/20 12:33 AM (3 years, 6 months ago)

Have you discussed your white privilege to family and friends?
Have you talked with a person of color about it?
If you haven't why not?

Lol, because I'm sure the number one thing any person of color wants is to take time out of their day to listen to some random white person apologize for racism.

Yeah, there's a lot of fucked up shit going on in the world, but self-flagellating isn't going to fix any of it. The problem is not, and never has been, individual white people. Go start a community garden or some shit, that'll do a lot more good than virtue signalling to your friends and family.

But dude, as a white person who wasn't born with money, I don't have any privilege.

Sure, let's also address first world standard of living privilege. Why doesn't anyone want to address the real inequality taking place in the world today?

The fact of the matter is this 'privilege' narrative never has an ending and it's cherry-picked for political purposes, and doesn't serve any useful purpose.

If you were a black person who wasnt born with any money, other circumstances being the same, you would be worse off still.

The discrepancy is privilege.

I don't think it serves much purpose to talk about your privilege to someone else. I think it CAN have a positive impact if you acknowledge to yourself that your unique life circumstances may have given you many advantages over others who grew up and live in different circumstances.

It's always good to remember, before you form an opinion of someone else's actions or choices, that you don't know what their circumstances have been.

Not discussing it hasn't done much good, though.  In fact, many people deny its existence.  Discussing it will at least raise awareness.  Also, I think a lot of people conflate the notion of white privilege with white guilt, and I think that error can be corrected through discussions as well.

I was being flippant. I live in a very black neighborhood. I saw 10 cop cars pull a black guy over the other day. The car was searched, the dude was cuffed immediately. Meanwhile, when it's a white dude it's one cop and they give him a warning.

It's just a shame I wasn't born richer than black people, I don't get none of that white privilege.

Of course you do.  You just said that you get treated differently when being pulled over.  Privilege doesn't always mean wealth.  If it did, we wouldn't need two different words.

I knew that.  There are others in this thread, however, that actually believe what you said literally.

What about female privilege when it comes to the criminal justice system?  What about Jewish economic privilege?  What about good looking privilege?  This privilege narrative never ends.

You're free to make threads about each of those as well.  This thread is about white privilege.

I guarantee "admitting your white privilege" is the name of a college course taught by some Marxist.

It doesn't have to be a marxist.  Any college professor could easily teach that.


--------------------
I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

White privilege isn't all a myth, just grossly exaggerated relative to the average white person and average black person.

I guess but "white privilege" is a term used in Critical Theory which is a marxist critique of society.

And more importantly, it's the ultimate distraction to the massive economic classism that's taking place today. When income and wealth inequality is at a 100 year high, I don't blame The Elite for spewing the white privilege narrative as much as they can because it works on an uninformed population.
