Is white privilege real? Try to explain why it is/isn't real.

It's not because it's based on historical racism and ignores class differences. Some redneck doesn't have power over middle class blacks just cause blacks get followed around in stores or your granddad was sprayed with a hose.

No, it's as ridiculous as saying all blacks are criminals to say all white people have the same privileges as the 1%. It's just a different kind of discrimination.

Wh*tes don't have any power lmao, they're a dying breed

If racism = power + privilege, then privilege = racism - power, meaning average white people who are racists but not in positions of power are the most privileged

Wouldn't know, im not a wh*tey.

it's not just there are poor whites are well as poor blacks, that's not privilege

privilege is not some out of context benchmark of hypothetical a versus hypothetical b

it is entirely within the context of history and society

was america ruled by white old men for white old men with power divided among powerful families

ofc the complication comes from confusing it for some out of context comparison such as can black people be rich or some idiotic nonsense

expectations form the basis of privilege how one stranger views another stranger and within his group and the other strangers group

just look at all the casual racism here, it is privilege at the most savage

White privilege is an attack. It implies that I got to where I am today just on the color of my skin.

It implies that everything in life was handed to me. It devalues my ideas and experience based on the color of my skin.

Think of it as telling one of the top black athletes that he won his race because of "black privilege" or a black musician that he is where he is because "you were born a musician" is the same kind of thing.

It might exist, but if it does it arose from the fact that whites perform better and make better financial/educationa/family decisions which advantage them and their off spring in the long term.
