"Income inequality" is only a priority for white cis men. The rest of us have bigger problems.

@tenente how many times have you been stopped by the border patrol because of your skin color again? 🤔
tenente · 36-40, M
@SW-User 6/10. Yourself?
SW-User
@tenente 4 times. The first time was when i was 8 and the last one was 4 months ago.

@SW-User each time i've complained border protection services claim i'm not being targeted, but really? over half the time i'm stopped and i'm supposed to believe it's random?
SW-User
@tenente Yeah, its so random to stop an 8 year and ask him for his papers. random as fuck. Almost...too random...

@SW-User waht i wonder is how is so called white privileddge would work in africa or in asia :p
SW-User
@popmol It doesn't seem like you know what white privilege is. But that's okay, Lot's of people are confused by the term.

@SW-User i read your first comment and you said how much times did your white privilege or skin get you through or over a border without any problem.

it makes sense if there's a white country and a white man goes in or out but seeing a white men just walking over the border to a black country i think they would stop you :p
that's my question.
because what you used as an example states that i as a white men would be privileged in general Europe and America mainly. maybe ever Australia. but then Asian privilege would also exist for any Asian in Asia and black privilege in Africa and so on?

@popmol I wasn't talking about crossing the border. I was hundredths of miles inside the U.S. every single time and still got stopped.
White privilege stems from the fact the majority of Americans are white and have been since the foundation of the U.S. Unfortunately, Whites have used their skin color to discriminate other races and keep them down. Thus what remains from that nasty past is white privilege.
I'm not talking about White privilege in an European country nor an African country. The history and social construct are vastly different in each country. However, the are many majorities inside countries that do abuse minorities. Could it be possible that Majorities have privileges in other countries that the minorities don't? Yes.
However, most countries have taken huge leaps to fix this. Some have not. Regardless, this doesn't mean the U.S. shouldn't amend it's past and heal it's wounds. A United country is better than a broken one.

@SW-User well any race did that just so you know.
and by law no. in social constructs yes but thats because Europe is white asia is asian and africa is black. majority always rules. simple :p but if europe would be over run by black people or any colour of skin then they'll fight back because originally it was white.

i don't think they are actually doing something good. in mixed countries like America that's fine but in America Asia and Africa there shouldn't be healing. because theres nothign to heal. and the things that you seem to think make it better seem to break all the countries.

@popmol There are thousands of ethnicities inside each continent and many have been oppressed. Some haven't but a lot have been. Inside Mexico itself there are ethnicites that have been oppressed and disregarded. Each country must do healing in their own way from their own problems.
An Example in Europe would be the Balkans. Wars have been started over the mistreatment of minorities. Croatia and Serbia had a war over it recently. This is a problem that the whole world must address in order to secure peace.

In the end however, all cultures will blur into one. Skin colors and differences will remain thanks to genetic engineering but all our cultures will cease.

@SW-User its something they need to work out themselves. you can't say whites are bad against Mexicans when Mexicans are fighting each other in their own country. same with black people some are upstanding citizens and some are gangsters and guys who do nothing with their life and do drugs and everything you'll drag them and tell them they are the same no they are not. so if you want ot split them in black and white or specific black and white groups let them fight their own battles to make sure the inner turmoil is gone then clutter them all together and then you can compare.

in europe there are mostly outside treats in the east at least no more inside are way less. because we fought for it.to protect our country. and yes our culture will cease but not because of outside treats and people who think it must be healed but because of change over time. or self destruction but you shouldn't even come close to our problems stay home and fix yours.
