this is hysterical. this is why some/many white people feel guilty simply for being white, because of this narrative that they simply must benefit from this privilege, and that if they don't think it applies to them that that must be nonsense. hysterical.

there is no such thing as general white privilege, as if everyone white simply has this privilege. anyone that believes that is either dumb or easily manipulated.

There are all sorts of societal privileges based on appearance. There is height privilege, with numerous studies showing men who are taller get promoted and are thought of more highly. There is beauty privilege, where numerous studies have shown attractive women (and men) get preferential treatment. There is symmetrical privilege, where people whose face is symmetrical are deemed to be more attractive.

You really think given all the inherent societal biases based on virtually every part of a person's physical appearance that the color of the their skin has absolutely no effect?

Who is it that is telling white people to feel guilty? If you have to google it to find it then that is you going out of your way to listen to them. That's on you.

Of course there is a general white privilege, this is a country that 5 decades ago had whites only water fountains. If you think whites dont have a general leg up on non whites in this country then you are much dumber than I realized.

Do you feel being Male comes with a certain privilege? Yes, females get certain privileges too, bit obviously males get more. As a male I dont feel guilty from acknowledging the reality. How come as a white person, you do?

The irony of you talking about nonsense lol. I am sorry you dont understand the inherent benefits of being white and how that has played out throughout the course of history. Never said white people need to feel guilty about being white. They should just be honest (a concept that eludes you regularly) about white privilege existing.

The irony is that if people were just honest about it to begin with, no one would feel the need keep putting the spotlight on systemic racism. The only reason there is such a loud voice about it is because of the initial dismissal its met with.

I agree with everything you said here, and I already answered the last part in reply to nastynice.

if everyone white simply benefited from being white then there would be no poor white people, there would be no white people struggling in life since they could just use their privilege and get whatever they needed/wanted.

history has changed over and over and over. what happened in history does not mean it's still happening today.

no doubt there was a time that white people were far more beneficial to other races, but that is simply not happening to everyone white today. we can't have honestly by blaming white people/white privilege.

It's actually reality.

Just to go full circle, this is basically what white guilt is. This entire conversation with you has been a spot on example of a white person somehow feeling guilty that they have an advantage, and so the response is to deny it. The response is to get defensive.

So defensive to the point that you are denying that white people have an inherent advantage in our system/society, which is an absolute joke of a position to have.

You see how you walked that white guilt line exactly, right?

lmao, what a stupid post!

How do you think this stuff up? [emoji23][emoji23]

Again, another perfect example white guilt. You get so defensive, look at what a joke your post is.

Yeah, its still happening today. Live in whatever alternate reality you choose to though. I'll be here on Earth with the rest of us.

That's not white guilt. Special is nuts, but his arguments are not based on white guilt.
