What do you think is meant by the term "white privilege?"

Well, there's no racist words for white people that actually cause emotional harm. Calling you a cracker isn't going to ruin your day, is it?

@TyphoidJerry: it makes me cry

@MorbidCynic: You're the first person I've ever met who has indicated 'cracker' is an emotionally charged term for them. SO sure, exception to every rule.

@danondorf: You use the word 'pussy' to mean weak and soft, right?

He was giving you an example of privilege like you asked for, not explaining why anyone should acknowledge their privilege, nitwit.

There are arguments to be made for reasons that people should acknowledge their privilege, but that isn't what you asked for and that wasn't what he was giving you. Why are you pretending to not understand that?

You know that what you wrote before is still available to been seen, right?

[quote] But seriously, we need people with white skin to acknowledge their privilege because there's not a bad word for em? Do we now need people with a height above 6 feet to acknowledge their privilege because they don't have a negative word capable of ruining their day?[/quote]

Are you really trying to pretend that you weren't acting like what he said was meant to be an argument for why people should acknowledge their privilege?

Sure, you could have asked him why privileged people should acknowledge their privilege separately from his answer to your previous question, but that isn't what you did. As a reminder, this is what you said...

Are you just pretending to be stupid now? This is what I said...

[quote] I call bullshit. I remember copying your words and pasting them in my quote so you just edited your answer.[/quote]

No.

[quote]I know full well he believes whites should acknowledge it [/quote]

No shit. I am not saying anything to the contrary. All of this is just responding to your second comment that tried to link his answer to the question you asked to the reason why people should acknowledge their privilege.

Not your question about acknowledging privilege, doofus. Your implicit question in your original post...

[quote]Nobody can name me a privilege that is inherent to being white that you doesn't have the same dynamic with another group[/quote]

He gave you an answer...

[quote]Well, there's no racist words for white people that actually cause emotional harm. Calling you a cracker isn't going to ruin your day, is it?
[/quote]

and then you acted like his answer was meant to be a reason that people should acknowledge their privilege...

[quote]But seriously, we need people with white skin to acknowledge their privilege because there's not a bad word for em? Do we now need people with a height above 6 feet to acknowledge their privilege because they don't have a negative word capable of ruining their day?[/quote]

and then I pointed out that he wasn't trying to demonstrate why people should acknowledge their privilege, that he was in fact just giving you the example that you were looking for...

[quote]He was giving you an example of privilege like you asked for, not explaining why anyone should acknowledge their privilege, nitwit.[/quote]

and since then you've been losing your mind.

[quote] Me asking him why his example, if assumed to be true, isn't a reason why whites should acknowledge the existence of white privilege, doesn't mean that his answer was MEANT to as a reason for it.[/quote]

You phrased your question in a way that sure made it seem that way. Again as a reminder here is what you said...

[quote]But seriously, we need people with white skin to acknowledge their privilege because there's not a bad word for em? Do we now need people with a height above 6 feet to acknowledge their privilege because they don't have a negative word capable of ruining their day?[/quote]

Please stop pretending that you didn't respond as if his example was meant to be an argument for people acknowledging their privilege.

Again. Sure, he almost definitely believes that, but your question...

[quote]But seriously, we need people with white skin to acknowledge their privilege because there's not a bad word for em? Do we now need people with a height above 6 feet to acknowledge their privilege because they don't have a negative word capable of ruining their day?[/quote]

...only makes sense if you assumed that the example of privilege he gave was the reason that privilege should be acknowledged. That is not a reasonable assumption, and I was just pointing that out to you.

I think I said "nitwit." :P
