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!

2017: White = 457, Black = 223, Hispanic = 179
2018: White = 399, Black = 209, Hispanic = 148
2019: White = 370, Black = 235, Hispanic = 158
2020: White = 172, Black = 088, Hispanic = 057

In no year from 2017-2020 (thus far) were the number of White people shot to death by the police in the United States ever less than Blacks or Hispanics.

Stated another way, from 2017-2020 (thus far) more White people were shot to death by the police in the United States than Blacks or Hispanics.

@DudeistPriest Why - if you look at the FACTS, all the bitching, whining and moaning of the left and BLM is a load of crap!

I wonder why the left and MSM would do such a thing.
Could it be because they're scared shitless over Trump actually making America Great Again?
And, their dream of destroying America is falling apart?

You're darn tootin!

Thanks for posting 2 Buddies!
@Budwick You bet and thanks for the BA. As any good investigator says, "always, always look at the data." The numbers, like following the money, will always lead you to the truth. The problem is some people who have invested so much of their credibility, reputation and gravitas have created inflexible belief systems and have too much to lose. In this case, the first victim is The Truth itself.

@DudeistPriest errrrr. ..there are a lot more white people than black people. That's why.

Numbers don't lie, people lie.

@DudeistPriest the numbers don't lie. There are a lot more white people than black people generally...so more whites are killed by cops agreed.
Your statistics actually highlight the blm point. There is a higher percentage of the black population killed by cops when compared with whites. Well done for highlighting this 😂
@vorian This is basic math, not Algebra, Calculus, quadratic inequalities or forecasting a trend by using slope of the line. Did you go to high school? You graduated right? Your math teacher would expel you from class. Nothing you can make up can change the fact that more white people were shot to death by the police in the United States than Blacks or Hispanics from 2017 to 2020.

You're trying to Lie in order to support a false narrative. If you're going to be a Liar, at least be a good one. A square peg does not fit into a round hole, but thank you it was a pleasure seeing you try to wiggle out of it like a weasel. Advice is to remove those rose-tinted glasses that portray a utopian world that doesn't exist brought to you by your neighborhood Lunatic Leftist Lenscrafter.

@vorian vORIAN,
Try making an adjustment by factoring in resisting and fleeing - the results are dramatic. That dumass that got shot recently, minor violations UNTIL he resisted, ran and got shot.

@DudeistPriest too funny. Using statistics to support your opinion....then really butthurt when the obvious is pointed out...you're making the blm point for them. Congratulations 😂😂

@Budwick too funny. These statistics prove the blm point and you still refuse to see it 😂😂
