As a white male you DO have white male privilege. Just because you don't recognize it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

And how could you? It's all you've ever known?
Understand, this doesn't mean that no white male ever experiences a lack of privilege.
But you do have it. I don't know why this notion upsets you so much.

I am white and proud to be white, the same as black people are proud to be black - another excuse for the political correct nutters to protest
@nedkelly

Relevance?

@nedkelly Not even close to the definition of white male privilege.

@Graylight I have the same as everyone else, dont blame me because I am white, well you define what being a white male privilege is?
Graylight · 51-55, F
@nedkelly Male privilege is the way men are given advantages that women aren't. White privilege is the way men white people are given privileges that minorities aren't.

White male privilege is being given societal advantages most women and minorities are not, thereby setting them up for greater success though no extra effort has been put forth. It's like being teacher's pet, only in this case the teacher is society at large.

@Graylight Stop talking nonsense, you are living in the past. Here is a song that suits you.

STOP playing the race and gender card

I am not allowed to apply for certain jobs as I am white and a male

@nedkelly

Did you just make the argument that because your privilege isn't all encompassing that it does not exist?

@nedkelly The white male has [i]advantages[/i], not special rights. I made nothing up, I'm playing nothing - I'm conveying information.

Why so defensive?

@Graylight Show me the advantages?
Graylight · 51-55, F
@nedkelly One of your advantages is easier access to superior education. Use it and research this topic yourself.
