Thoughts Regarding 'White Privilge'

It's a load of crap. [I never was one to beat around the bush.]

It's yet another trick the left is playing on minorities. Look, even if you they could convince white people of this new myth, does that improve the station of minorities?

We ALL have the privilege of life. What we do with it is all about the individual. You can choose to apply yourself in school, you can choose to take part in extra curricular activities, you can choose to listen to your parents, follow the rules of the house, find a job that interests you, be the best the employer has ever had, get promoted, marry and THEN have children, work hard to keep the family intact and succeed.

THOSE things result in happiness and success. Don't do those things and life will be more difficult for you - what ever your skin color might be.

I might as well bring up that the left has had major involvement in tripping up the steps to success for minorities - for decades.

Minority families are far more likely to be fatherless for example. I know marriage itself is considered more disposable than ever, but those that get caught in the web of government assistance are forced to get rid of Dad and nothing short of a miracle ever gets them out from under the governments rules that won't let 'em out.

Taking whites down a notch won't do a thing to improve your own life. It's an old trick played by losers everywhere and it never works. Losers remain losers.

So, succeed the old fashioned way, that has worked time and time again for thousands of years - work hard, play it straight, be honorable and gather your own privilege as you go.

Good luck!

Except... that's just now how things work in the real world Budwick.

And the term "privelege" is extremely badly chosen. It just works in the disadvantage of those that want to explain what they are trying to make people aware off.

It's EXACTLY how things work.
If you don't try to excel - you won't - period.

@Budwick Only because you haven't thought about this problem Budwick.

I'll take it to the bar for you, maybe that explains it a bit better. If you have a group of hot looking girls at the bar, and there are 2 girls that are out of "hot looking category" and all of them act exactly the same. The chances of the "hot looking girls" getting free drinks and getting attention, are higher then the 2 girls that are out of the "hot looking" category.

The reasons are concious or unconcious preferences that make people behave a certain way. The hot-looking once, are just treated diffrent, because the preference of those that interact with them gives them an advantage the others don't have. This advantage doesn't come from merrit, just the way that they are born.

The only way things work EXACTLY like you say Budwick, is when you totally deny that preferences on the basis of bias/tastes what ever you might call it, don't excist. Good luck if you want to take that position.

Comparing free drinks for pretty girls to a life of dignified, hard work, and quality family life,... I think you might benefit from some self reflection Kweek.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick I was trying to make this simpe for you, but apperently that's "offensive" and totally un-American.

fuck you are a dumbass 🤣🤣🤣

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Kwek00 Perhaps I understood better than you thought.
None of my recipe should be thought of as easy. No one said life, especially a successful, happy life is easy.

Trying so hard to find the easy way may be part of your problem

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick When a part of the poppulation has a significant lower chance of getting employed, getting a house to rent, ... and a higher chance of being stopped by the police and get shot by accident. Well, then you have a problem Budwick.

But people like yourself don't like to talk about this issue, because for some strange reason it's just not true. How can good white people be biased towards people with another skin colour... it just can't be, we are the good guys. So instead you try to kill the conversation, by making the issue ridiculous or just making it about how hard life is. Which kinda makes it okay for white people to keep doing what they are doing and not reflect on anny of their actions or the consequences they have in society. Because well... we are the good guys 😂

Those issues were brought onto minorities themselves. Generations of NOT following the recipe for success breeds failure that shows up in many ways.

And, it's not I that have a problem - it's them. THEY need to change it. I'm simply offering some ideas how to do it. Blaming your unwillingness to even try is not my fault.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick How can you follow the recipe of success, when in the 50s, they weren't even allowed to enter certain universities?

It's the same stupid crap you pulled two days ago. Where you suddenly start defending Trump for being the first president that ever did something about the police. While for years presidents have been running on the idea to take on criminals hard. And with the word "criminal" those people that are perceived to be more likely to be criminals automatically get treaten diffrently in society. And people like you, actively vote for this message.

No fucktard, both parties need to change. But it can't work if asses like you keep killing the conversation... because, well, for some strange reason... we are the good guys. 😂

90% of inmates are men.
No one denies men are violent.
No one cries men are over represented..

Btw, men are a minority.@Kwek00

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@AthrillatheHunt You think that this is a result of a bias towards men? Or are men just more involved in crime?

What I'm talking about, are outcomes that are there just because of bias. Like when you go look at the numbers of the "Stop-And-Frisk" campaign in New-York, chances of getting stopped randomly and being frisked while the campaign ran go up significantly when you are non-white. And apperently 9/10 that were stopped and frisked, were innocent.

AthrillatheHunt · 51-55, M

A 90% incarceration rate cannot be explained by bias.
Stop a d Frisk was used in areas where much crime occurred, based on crime statistics, not race.

Most people in the minority communities supported stop and frisk. Because it made their communities SAFER.

You do raise the issue of behaviors though, and I’m not gunna touch that topic.@Kwek00

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@AthrillatheHunt If it actually made the communities safer, is also up for debate.

Annyway, if their bias in that institution, then we have to talk about it so that males and females are more equally traited for the law. No problem having that conversation.

I don't have the time to look much up. But just a quick search from google:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/making-evil/201902/why-are-we-not-outraged-prisons-are-filled-men

The fact that we feel we have to put so many men in cages to keep us safe is the symptom of a diseased society. We are failing our men, and we urgently need to do something about it. Only when we teach and reinforce empathy, understanding, and self-control as desirable male traits can we begin to stop having to put men in prison.

So this is talked about. But apperently, there isn't enough activism for this cause to push it into the mainstream and put it on the political agenda. If this is important for you, you should get organised.

@IstillmissEP Good luck explaining to all of us what a "high civilisation" is supposed to be 😂

Small steps.
Learn to be civilized first.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick The word "civilized" has meant diffrent things through the centuries Budwick. The idea of "civilization" is a social construct. And most of the time, it excists to perceive ourselves as the "civilized" people, while the others are barbarians. It's another thing that makes us feel good about ourselves. Because we are the good guys.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Kwek00

Don't confuse yourself then. Focus on today's definition - we live in the here and now.

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick 🤣🤣🤣🤣

That's the entire point. That what we call "civilized" is a subjective.
when we call our society "civilized" we defacto call the others "uncivilized". Which makes us the arbiter of what is "civilized" and what not. It's not objective.

Budwick · 70-79, M

@Kwek00 OK then, you keep flopping around on the pier like a fish out of water - but don't forget to blame your failure on others!

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick That's not what I'm advocating for at all. But it's just your way of not having a talk about racism. Apperently talking about racist bias is really hard when you consider yourself the good guy.

And this "civilized" idea, it's been used to dominate others through the ages. Most forms of imperalism give legitimacy to their actions, because they are the civilized ones and they take it upon themselves to civilize (set the bar) for other people.

What I'm hearing is that you really don't know what civilized behavior is!

Kwek00 · 41-45, M

@Budwick Yeah, that's one of your problems. That you are living in your own world and that annyone that points out that your fantasyland doesn't hold up to reality, has to be treated like an ignoramus or has to live somewhere else so that the fantasy isn't threatened. Cause we are the good guys and gooooooo team.
