I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I only said that most of it was fueled by what we as whites do to provoke it. My whole point is that white privilege is very much a thing and is used a lot. Who is we? I am with you for the most part but I don't like this "we as whites" or "we as atheists" business. I don't want t be lumped into a group I didn't choose to be a member of. There is no "we as whites" the only thing we all have in common is our whiteness and even that is subjective.

From their perspective, you chose not conform to the stereotype and may have taken great pains to overcome a negative cultural influence - the same kind of negative cultural influence operating on whites who grew up in blue-collar non-educated communities. MCB, you choose to be offended when you should be flattered. People are just admiring you for overcoming your blackness....

I should probably just choose to be complimented instead of pissed that someone assumes that I, as a woman, lack the hand-eye coordination, intelligence, and balls (suck. them.) to drive a stick-shift aggressively and with skill. You know. Because really only men value that skill so of course women wouldn't be good at it due to cultural influence. ![[Image: Untitled2_zpswaosccbr.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1140.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fn569%2Fthesummerqueen%2FUntitled2_zpswaosccbr.png) RE: Is white privilege real?

Actually...I think that it's because vagina...not cultural influence. Or, wait...do I have this all wrong? Who else aggressively works a stick?

But seriously, fuck the idea that a black man should feel complimented for 'overcoming cultural influence'. How about white people stop assuming black people are dumb? Because BTW, your cultural dialect isn't an indicator of your intelligence no matter what's insisted by someone who has the cultural power and a mouth tighter than a cat's asshole.

I am white, and my privilege is nonexistent.
