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!

I used to think somewhat along these lines.

I’ve been fucked over more times than I can count by other white guys who came from more money, or who were in the right place at the right time and then learned to fuck over others that weren’t as fortunate as them.

I have friends who are people of color that have had to deal with that from both whites and other people of color. It’s the same thing. Right?

Wrong.

I’ve never been profiled for being white. I’ve never had to have conversations with my friends about the cops who always seem to want to cause a problem.

Quite recently, there’s a friend of mine (who is black) who has been getting nearly run off the road by some white guy. He’s been targeting other blacks in the neighborhood and despite the fact that there are many of them and only one of him, none of them feel comfortable to call the police.

I’ve never had to deal with this. It’s real.

I don’t really like the term “white privilege”. I just don’t know what to call it.

It's called horse shit.
