Yes, there IS white privilege

In some areas, of course there is white (aka Caucasian) privilege. Let me count the ways:

1. In murder rates, whites clearly come out on top. They have the privilege of being fewer victims
White on white murder rates are 16%. Black on Black murder rates are 97%.

2. 72 percent of all black children live in single family homes.
https://newsone.com/1195075/children-single-parents-u-s-american/#:~:text=In%20the%20African%20American%20community%2C%2072%20percent%20of,%2824.3%20percent%29%2C%20followed%20by%20New%20Zealand%20%2823.7%20percent%29.
Only 19 percent whites live in single family homes.

3. Poverty rates show a white and an ASIAN privilege, in that white only families in poverty make up 8.6 percent of the country, same numbers for Asian families. The families with the highest poverty rates are American Indian and Alaskan native at 25% and blacks at 17 percent

To break it down, blacks have been the victims of the Democrat welfare state, which has broken up their families and put them in ghettos. As a result, their scholastic achievement is inferior to whites and Asians; their family unit is mostly single parent; their safety in their own homes and neighborhoods is compromised since blacks commit most violent crimes. And because of the single parent thing, blacks live in poverty at the highest numbers.

I don't blame blacks as a race for this. It would be bigoted and racist to suggest that. Had the Democrats targeted whites for the affirmative action, welfare, etc, whites would be at the lower end of this study as well.
There is white privilege and you can thank the Democrats for that.
There IS institutionalized RACISM, and you can thank the Democrats for implementing affirmative Action (which is the JIM CROW of the Seventies).

Why are you people so obsessed with race. This sounds like a race baiting post here

@TurtlePink The concept of white privilege is probably the most race baiting subject of all time. All I did was give it the attention it deserves while shedding a little light on the problem and revealing the TRUTH.

@Reason10 no, this post is. Go do something better with your life man.

Do you know anything to say.

Auggie, do we need to check with you before we speak or write. Maybe you could tell us your qualifications to report the inner feelings of others which no one on earth is privileged to discern, while you remember that facts are pure in and of themselves and have no capacity for racism.
@MarthannBann888 If you are asking me a question, kindly end your statement with a ? mark.

@RoguishEyes
Maybe you could kindly stick to the subject.
@MarthannBann888
Auggie, do we need to check with you before we speak or write.
Is this a question? IF it is a question, I will be happy to answer and stick to the subject. But my patience is not without limit.
@MarthannBann888 You have exhausted your time, my dear. I suggest you attend some punctuation classes before you are granted another opportunity to debate me.
MarthannBann888 · 70-79, F
@RoguishEyes
Your patience may have a limit, but your distastefulness does not. The issues we are discussing are much more important than my punctuation. If you don’t think you can respond if my punctuation is not perfect, then that’s good. Better that than attention to issues not important.
@MarthannBann888 All you had to do was acknowledge you made a mistake and it was indeed a question. But your ego would not permit it.
Oh, and it was you who initiated the "distastefulness". I merely followed your lead.

Have a grand day.

@RoguishEyes
Aug, who do you think you are telling me what I have to do? I don’t have to do anything you say. You are not the KGB or are you???????

About distastefulness, maybe you could tape yourself. If this is an example of nice behavior to you, then you would benefit from introspection.

And, you are wasting time with drivel.
@MarthannBann888
If this is an example of nice behavior to you
I never said this was an example of nice behavior. What I DID say was
Oh, and it was you who initiated the "distastefulness". I merely followed your lead.
😌

“All you had to do was acknowledge you made a mistake….”
Well, here’s the thing. If a republican makes a mistake, and I have seen this hundreds of times, the sarcasm would have no end.
Examples:
What do you know you can’t punctuate a sentence?
You can’t even write, why would I believe you?
Etc., etc.
At the same time kkkdemocrats lie and make mistakes ALL of the time. You people vehemently deny your mistakes even in the face of proof to the contrary.

This is not a dissertation committee meeting and you are not part of the committee. Again, your comments are off point, they are in an inappropriate place and, you, by your inappropriate intervention, have demonstrated you not qualified to start these waste of time discussions.
There are a lot of mistakes on this forum. It is good to hear from everyone even if their writing is not perfect. Go to doctoral school and you will be in the correct place.
@MarthannBann888 I will consider your irrelevant and defensive word salad as an apology.
Apology accepted.
MarthannBann888 · 70-79, F
@RoguishEyes You are the very embodiment of why people detest democrats. I feel sorry for your children. You are like a back woods preacher. For you everything is about hurting others.
And word salad. Please, are you that bad a judge of writing. I am disgusted, and by the it is your sick ego that thinks I apologized. You should apologize for destroying the intent of the discussion.All of your shallow nit picking make no difference to me.
