Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[The Grand Nudger]

Sure, add that to the list.......I guess?

Don't need to. You have been wanting me to say that for a while.

See, this is why we get along, we have something of an understanding.  

The pleasure I take in baiting out all the bigoty shit people try to couch in terms that they feel more comfortable with, though, doesn't have much to do with what I would want them to say.  I'd actually rather that I failed at that, more often than I succeeded.  That they -didn't- say these things, that they didn't even think them.  

Wish in one hand and shit in the other, though, amiright?

Then in that case, surely the thread title is misleading. Privilege for all races exists depending on where you are brought up. Believe it or not, blacks go on about the Indians and how they are privileged in India, or how the Whites and Asians are priviliged in India too and yet not one fuck was given with regards to those who don't have that privilege of an education.

You don't say, really? I had no idea, being an American, that such things went on outside of our borders. Do you think  it would help if we invaded them?

Oh yes oh   one. Nothing to with with baiting at all, but simply your own particular agenda, and I knew I had to say something to get you to come out and finally admit that what you really was talking about was "white privilege", from a black perspective, and NOT from an Asian, Inuit, Native American or Mexican. I still remember you talking about a black person being welcome to a KKK rally and how it would be as unlikely, and I responded with Marcus Garvey. You have addressed all my points except for this. Do you have any reasons as to why a black nationalist/Zionist would go to a white nationalist rally?

You said earlier white privilege is a western thing.  I asked and got no answer, does this mean you think white privilege isn't prevalent in Russia, Russia being an eastern country.

Ah, Russians being white, you mean. If you wish to include them, be my guest. Let's leave it at majority white populations and let's not call it the West, mister semantic. Everything to satisfy your poorly veiled agenda.

Poor whitey is falsely attacked. Want to have another attempt at squaring the circle(jerk)?

My agenda is to point out that sometimes the use of the word whites privilege doesn't fit.

And that rhythm was wrong in calling descriptions of racist incidents against white people as being racially charged and saying my family being the victims of racism is a result of not using white privilege properly.

The majority of this forum has an agenda and a dogma that not following results in insults, mocking and false accusations.

Plus accusations that make no sense such as I don't want to talk about white privilege, that's why I made a thread about it.
I don't want to talk about white privilege because in my first post I gave an opinion so I must just be answering my own question and not letting others talk.
I want to talk about other races than black and white but that would upset the narrative that only white people as a group have advantages in America.

@RobertE

Actually, I talk about white privilege from an american perspective.....and as a person who's enjoyed the fruits of the poisoned tree their entire life.  If you wanted to hear the black perspective you'd have to listen to those irritating, whiney, moaning black people.

Where to begin......that we haven't already covered, lol?

Then you have to ask yourself as to why some groups have it better than others. For a start, white people have advantages more than other people. However, in spite of their demographics are concerned, the Chinese, Cantonese, Japanese and Koreans have privileges too over the black population. The question is why. Racism against blacks and Asians and Mexicans has existed in the USA since before the dawn of time, yet somehow it comes down to integration.

Yes, because "white privilege", only exists in America. I have never known any minority group in the western world i.e. Europe complain about "white privilege." Yah, it must be a American thang, ya know.

[The Grand Nudger]

We (as in white america) have a more favorable, but not at all less hilariously racist view of asians, regardless of integration.  I believe that the hard-line way to interpret the word "integration" ofc..is "acting white".

What was the above about...Rob? Are you under the impression that you're talking to a person who thinks that white privilege is limited to the US?
