Does white privilege exist?

Privilege is a very touchy subject. Some people say whites are privileged, some say just white males are privileged, some say that blacks are privileged, and some say it’s the rich that are privileged.

Normally I don’t chime in with my personal opinions but as a Norse Pagan I believe we it is up to us to determine pure success. Nobody is above or under one another.

Any way, dicuss and like always, be civil.

Let's count them.

1. Susceptibility to solar skin damage leading to skin cancer.

2. A highly probable chance of skin acne and a somewhat lesser one of massive rampant crater face, adolescent angst and disfigurement.

3. Getting lured into believing stupid lies at a young age about everybody having unlimited opportunities only to find out how obscene this lie is due to fixed economic, national origin of surname, and appearance demarcation lines.

4. Idiots in your own race that are extremely successful even though they're only successful because they chose wealthy parents to be born from. Telling you how it amazes them how you're "wasting you'r potential" at a working class job. See number 3.

5. Knowing every stumbling block that can be placed before only a white person and got away with that even the historically disadvantaged couldn't even contemplate as possible and being thought a typical white devil liar or exaggerator when you share what you know.

6. Being persecuted harassed and having to tread extra carefully in a neighborhood you grew up in because now you find yourself among the few remaining whites in an area of a different race majority. And finally being violently driven out by radicalized poor people.

7. Having every race in your country having at least some people that identify themselves by it claiming you personally and your ancestors generally have persecuted them and are their obstacle in life.

Even if your ancestors were persecuted themselves and you share a genetic link with that race.


Should I continue?
