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!

That’s not a trick. There are examples of White priviege.

For example:

-It has always been minorities who are told to go back to their country for criticizing U.S. policy, healthcare, etc. When ever has some White politician or citizen whom has criticized U.S. policies been told the same thing?


-Everytime some innocent black man is murdered by some non-black man, plenty of people will attack that black man’s character, searching for any past criminal history to justify his murder, while ignoring the murderer (even supporting his actions) who might not have a clean past either.


-Every problem someone has or believes the U.S. is facing, it’s blamed on Obama (a biracial man) while former U.S. presidents and the current one (all White) are ignored; that and their terrible policies that all have long lasting effects on Americans once they leave office.

-Same with beauty standards:
A lot of beauty products you see in tv advertisements are geared toward European standards of beauty; fair skin, straight hair/ loose curls. You don’t see many tv ads for women/girls who don’t have those features.

@IstillmissEP I have a lot more. But I’m not making this into a novel.

@IstillmissEP And I have one, your claim is based on pseudoscience. By that, you look at black people as inferior to you, something that someone who's racist will tend to do. No surprise there.

Thanks for explaining to me that you're both racists and dumb. Good job!

@IstillmissEP First off your source. It's not smart to take an IQ test because IQ tests don't prove anything, anyone can take them over and over and score a higher score each time. It's called practice makes perfect. Edit: Also genetics (DNA) doesn't determine if you're smart or not. How hard you work, the resources you have, your parent's education and/ dedication to education, your passion in a certain subject, how much time you spend on each subject, etc. determines that, for everyone. To rely just on a simple IQ test to tell you how smart a person is is not the smartest thing to do.

Second, why should I do so to someone who is so ignorant they'll disagree with the sources provided anyway because they hate minorities that much?

IQ tests retakes do have a lot of points. The same goes for other cognitive tests.

Do we have the same message? No. You believe that minorities in general have a lower IQ based on some old outdated racial pseudoscience from the past. You also believe that DNA is a tell-tell sign of what a person's IQ actually is.

That's opposite of what I stated that DNA doesn't determine intelligence, it depends on how much time one puts into their subjects and other resources they have available and that goes for everyone. Two different messages. Either way your claim wouldn't work in reality. Either way I said what I said about the OP original message. You went off subject to discuss about some race IQ bullshit.

@IstillmissEP

awesome! Your wonderful and wise.

Thanks I am

I'm evil and racist.


Your response from earlier:
I have one. Whites have higher IQ than blacks (15 point SD). Since between 75 to 80% of human intelligence is genetic, we have genetic privilege too! It's G-ds fault!

You're exposing yourself, that's what someone with a racist mindset would have. It's not like I'm calling you racist for no reason.

No. Reaction tests aren't. It's unlikely a test since world War 1 is ineffective.

You're theory would be ineffective because it's based on pseudoscience that's based on racial bias and isn't true.

Furthermore, I showed you my evidence and you still deny it because that's someone who is that ignorant and hateful to a certain group of people whom they see as inferior would do.

Are there physical or biological differences between races regarding intelligence? Nope. But lets say there is, and because you're white your IQ is 180, by your logic you wouldn't be dumb enough to believe in some outdated pseudoscience that intertwines genetics with intelligence. But you do, so how can you say you're so smart when you believe in something that is so false?

@IstillmissEP Yes I did. And it's "Please" not "0lease". Your intelligence is slipping.

@IstillmissEP Hmm, interesting so first it was about race and intelligence, now it's about biological differences besides skin color. I have a feeling you'll incorporate that into your race IQ as an AH! moment. Since that's what your main topic is about.

That only link goes against your argument though. It's in the title but you hold on to it like it's the gospel. I've read it and even scientists are concerned that using genes to determine intelligence will be used to compare different races, ethnicities and people from different countries. Which is what you're doing with the pseudoscience you're spewing. There is even a part in the article that mentions teens who had promise in their genes, still bombed test results. So really, your argument that certain races have higher IQs based on their genes is false.

At the end of the day, I offered some pretty good examples on White privilege that are true. So why change the subject? You mad?

Everytime some black person is murdered by another black person, nobody gives a rats ass.

What’s wrong, did what I say hurt your feelings? Because plenty of ya’ll do look for past criminal records to justify the killing of some innocent black man, while ignoring the past actions of the officer or the vigilante. Happens everytime.

Finding past criminal records for these guys is pretty standard procedure.
It's not surprising to discover piles of dirt under the rug.

It's pretty standard for people who support what the murderer did. As if what some black man did decades ago is somehow relevant decades later after he's murdered. Those who make it standard to find past criminal records to justify a murder do are no better than suspect who committed that murder.

@Budwick Okay? but ya'll aren't going to dig up past criminal records on some woman who was kidnapped and killed or on some person who was shot to death because of xyz or on some other race who was unjustly killed by an officer to justify their murders.

It's some black man who gets this treatment for some reason. It doesn't matter if he learned from his past mistakes and is working on improving himself. He is always a seen as criminal by those who try to justify his death.
