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

@MethDozer Absolutely no one is saying that.

@MethDozer

"Understand, this doesn't mean that no white male ever experiences a lack of privilege. "

I feel i did already address this...

@Femme4thewin Then the privilege thing is more bullshit. There is privilege but it rest in the hands of rich people.

@Pikachu Yea, I noticed the double speak.

@MethDozer Refer to my comment below and actually watch the video

@MethDozer

Why do you feel that this is doublespeak?

@Pikachu Because it is.

@MethDozer

I disagree. The fact that your privilege is not absolute does not mean that it does not exist.

If you can, please be more specific in your criticism.

@Pikachu You are assuming you know my life by saying I have privilege. Without any actual knowledge of me. So it is baseless.

All groups have their passes. This privilege argument is just stupid and creates more divisiveness and problems. All while.pretending to try and solve them.

@Pikachu it’s just like you said, this guy’s privilege doesn’t make him a bad person. His refusal to acknowledge it does

@Femme4thewin yep, I am a horrible person. I got that already.

@MethDozer Oh yes keep playing the victim it’s really getting your point across.

@Femme4thewin I am not playing the victim. Just being passive aggressive to a passive aggressive label.

I don't feel victimized either or see myself as a victim in any way.

@MethDozer But I thought your life was so horrible, being harassed for being a white man?

Sorry if that's the impression you got. In fact this isn't about you personally and i made no assumption about you specifically, one way or the other.

I simply pointed out that just because you may not be privileged in all aspects of your life doesn't mean that you don't have privilege. Just because you personally don't benefit from privilege does not mean that white male privilege is not a real thing.

Pretending that it is not a problem is likely a product of the privilege you don't even recognize that you have. After all, the privileged rarely recognize their privilege...

@Femme4thewin No, it is not horrible. All I am.saying is there are plenty of dismissals of opinion and thoughts based on one being that. It goes both ways.
Is it harassmwnt, horrible, etc.? Not really, but it happens. Brush it off and do me. That doesn't bother me. It is kinda annoying having people say I was born with a silver spoon a golden ticket though.

I think it is shitty to make such calls on any stranger. We haven't walked in others shoes so have no basis for the claim. I think it insults the entire human condition and is becoming a distraction to keep us all down in an argument with each other and divide us at a time we were starting to come more together. It is aiding us to hate each other again.

@MethDozer You’re being willfully ignorant. Pikachu here has been very clear that privilege is not absolute.

@Pikachu There is also female privilege. Minority privilege then. Etc. Again, I find those who recognize their own are the ones who talk the most about others and bring it up first.

Money is the bigger factor.

@Femme4thewin It is if it exist.

I can say the same thing about you being ignorant. That is how life experiences forming opinions works.

@MethDozer

I agree that there are some respects in which women are privileged (mostly having to do with children and custody).

And?

@Pikachu And what?

@MethDozer

yes, exactly.

@PikachuTry and make some sense instead of trolling.

@MethDozer

Sorry, i was using a methond an old english teacher often used.

You made an irrelevant point. In order to illustrate that irrelevance, i promoted you to elaborate on what point you felt you were making.

Please feel free to elaborate now.

Not agreeing with you is not trolling.

@Pikachu No, but asking "and?" Without identifying what you are asking about and then when asked "and what?" Responding with a useless "exactly" is just being a troll.

Show the irrelevant point and your contention with it and we can discuss it. I am sorry your English teacher taught you to do that but that is not how adults actually discuss things in a critical and productive manner.
