Another troll post by 47 that has no intent other than to further divide. So sad that some people are this pathetic.

---

"Troll" "pathetic yet no reasoning as to why the premise is wrong. White skin is white privilege. Can you deny that truth?

---

You started this thread with no reasoning as to why the premise is true. Support your own premise from the beginning before you criticize others for not providing an intelligent response.

I may not always agree with Tommie, but I respect his posting and ability to have a conversation.

---

The premise is white skin is white privilege. The reasoning is to empathize and be black in your imagination In your imagination go to a restaurant with a white wife; go to the soccer field with your biracial children, walk a white neighborhood, drive a white neighbor. Black in a white culture is a different experience. Can you see that?

---

We have a biracial girl on our soccer team. She is forced to carry all the white girls' soccer equipment while they all get to play and have fun.

No, of course that doesn't happen. Her mother is actually the team manager.

---

You are ignoring the premise white skin is white privilege Not my wife is terrific to black girls. Try again

Silly straw man gets silly answer.

White privilege is simply to be born white and walk in this world as a white. Being white in and of itself is all white privilege is about. Blacks walk around in black skin.
If you are white then imagine what it would be like to black all day and the next and then the next.

I'm not even sure what you mean by "bend over and take it whites."

What do you think MLK would be talking about today, were he still alive and active?

His dream about an America where everyone is judged by the content of their character? Sure. But the famous speech in which he used those lines established from the beginning the theme that America had NOT lived up those ideals. He was complaining that America, despite its lofty promises, had issued a bad check to black Americans -- and now they were demanding payment of the promissory note.

Part of his opposition to the Vietnam War was about the way young black men were more likely to be sent to fight than young middle- and upper-class white boys. He didn't use the term "white privilege," but that's part of what he was talking about (or at least the way that black kids didn't enjoy the privilege that many white boys did).

Based on his writings, speeches and sermons, I find it hard to imagine that today he wouldn't be talking about issues where he saw racial disparity involved. And that would naturally include disparate treatment of black people by police and the justice system.

King said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." That's not far off from the thought behind the statement that "black lives matter," which was never meant to mean that ONLY black lives matter. Of course all lives matter. Another way of expressing that idea is: If black lives don't matter equally, then our society can't say that all lives matter. An injustice anywhere...

Appalachia has some of the most depressing poverty I've ever seen. I feel for kids born and reared in that environment.

There is a public policy difference between how we handled drug addiction in urban and rural communities. Crack addiction was handled with tearing up the constitution and harsh prison sentences. "Opioid" addiction is handled with treatment.

---

Specifically, how was the constitution torn up?

All addictions are handled with treatment. Possession, manufacturing, selling and drug related violence are what get you harsh prison sentences, opiods included.

---

Because of the "war on drugs", we began to see "stop and frisk", in New York. Had that been Atlanta or Birmingham, northerners would have been stereotypically outraged. It would never happen in highland Park.

Stop and Frisk assumes guilt without probable cause. It's unlawful detention and in some cases, property gets seized without a trial. (5th amendment)

It created the no knock warrant where police kick in your door at 6:00 AM. Many have been killed when they go to the wrong house or get bad info from a shady informant. (4th amendment)

You no longer have freedom of association.

We have made prisons for profit AND guarantee occupancy.

The courts are so overcrowded that an innocent can sit for years before a trial. (6th Amendment).

I'm describing the "it's all my fault because I'm white" whites like '47.

The kind that say we need to have conversations and work on things, have you over for dinner and invite your kids to sleep over, tell each other we love you like my own brother types, like myself, don't feel guilty about being white. I can't change the way I was born just like no one else can.

All I can do is know how I was raised and know how I'll raise my children

Bottom line is all you as an individual can do is treat everybody with equal respect and fairness in your heart.

Anything more, or less, and you have some internal torment going on, that helps nobody and alienates many. Probably a sign you harbor some type of prejudiced.

Cinque, I'm not saying there are no black men shot in the back by police for no good reason, there are, and it is a shameful happening. At least we hear about it, and there are folks who care and are enraged about it. Which is a good thing.

There are also white folks shot in the back as they run from police for no good reason, it is a shameful happening. But, we don't hear about it because there is no organized movement that cares, just their family.
They are usually very poor young men, who nobody gives a crap about.

OK, gotcha. But I think what you're describing represents a set of false absolutes. What has happened in our history -- both distant and recent -- isn't my fault. As a white male, I don't have to apologize for systems I didn't create.

But that doesn't mean I didn't benefit in some ways from those systems, and I think that's an important point to make.

Just to cite a few among many possible examples:

Because of the color of my skin, I don't get followed around when I'm shopping in department stores.
Because of the color of my skin, the police won't follow me if I'm driving through an upper-income neighborhood.
People in my neighborhood won't call the police on someone going door-to-door if his skin looks like mine. Solicitors with dark skin haven't been so lucky. Their color makes them "suspicious" in ways that mine doesn't.

I didn't realize it at the time, but I benefited from white privilege when I graduated from BU and looked for my first job. Journalism had been one of my two majors, but I didn't care much for the Journalism Dept. at the time and didn't want to work on the Lariat any more than I absolutely had to when Sharon Grigsby was the editor. I couldn't afford to do an unpaid journalism internship in the summer because whatever I earned in my summer jobs had to be the spending money that got me through the school year. Net result was that I didn't have much in the way of writing samples or actual newspaper experience to show potential employers. I heard about an opening in sports at the Waco Tribune-Herald. I got an interview with Dave Campbell through my uncle. One of my uncle's college buddies had worked with Mr. Campbell. My uncle called the guy and asked him as a favor to call Dave Campbell and give me an interview. I got hired based on the interview, and my writing samples and the interview probably never would have happened without my uncle calling in a favor, and my writing samples never would have been noticed without the interview because one look at my thin journalistic resum probably would have sent my application into the wrong pile.

What does that have to do with white privilege? Just this. My uncle and father had a network of college buddies they could call on because they went to college. And the only reason they were the first in their family ever to attend college was because of the GI Bill. But the GI Bill didn't apply to black World War II veterans, because the program never would have been approved by southern white Democrats in the 1940s unless blacks were excluded. So most black guys graduating from college the same year as me, with the same qualifications, wouldn't have had an uncle who could call in favors from college buddies because he probably wouldn't have had a chance to go to college. No question I was "privileged" by that.

So, as someone asked earlier, what are we supposed to do? Give up opportunities that come our way? Write a reparations check?

No, I don't think so.

One helpful step would simply be to acknowledge where those opportunities gaps existed and still exist. Most white people -- myself included for the majority of my lifetime -- thought that black anger and resentment was a residue from slavery and segregation. We weren't taught about discrimination on housing loans, and the sham convict labor system that railroaded people back into virtual slavery as late as 1941. There was a whole lot of shlt they didn't teach us in school. So the first step is to know the actual history of discrimination.

Second step is to acknowledge some of the ways in which we as white people benefited from systems that in many ways were rigged well after segregation was supposed to formally end. Truth is the prerequisite for reconciliation.

I know about that stuff, and I think it's horrific. As is the war on drugs and the current iteration of welfare and disability laws on the black community. I fight against that stuff constantly and am callled a racist for it even though it's some of the most generationally devastating legislation ever written.

Lots of things need to be talked about and discussed, but I refuse to act like '47 does in his post. I'd rather help solve and assuage a problem than lay down and make excuses for it while wallowing in self pity

This is a form of privilege. Donald Trump is the most obvious and egregious example of white privilege.

This is actually falsehood. Twice as many whites are shot dead by police as blacks each year in the United States, I have seen multiple youtubes of a young white guy getting shot in the back while taking off.

Who do you think the white folk getting killed by police come from University and Highland Park?

No they come from impoverished white areas that no SJW gives a **** about, so you never hear about it.

My assertion is about the circumstantial differences in the police shootings of unarmed black and [un]armed whites. Consider how Lubbock Police handled the apprehension of an armed murder suspect and what happened in Salt Lake City:

Cinque, I'm not saying there are no black men shot in the back by police for no good reason, there are, and it is a shameful happening. At least we hear about it, and there are folks who care and are enraged about it. Which is a good thing.

There are also white folks shot in the back as they run from police for no good reason, it is a shameful happening. But, we don't hear about it because there is no organized movement that cares, just their family.
They are usually very poor young men, who nobody gives a crap about.

Stop. Just stop. The reason you don't hear about whites who are similarly situated being killed the same way is because it rarely, if ever happens.

As you know I was born in '47 and I have been a recipient of white privilege in Waco ISD , college, and career. More tomorrow

There is no white privilege. There is however, black and Hispanic privilege. There are actual government policies designed to give "people of color" and upper hand. There are "protected classes." There are college funds specifically for people of color.

47's idea of walking around as the only black person is a circumstance of choice. If I don't want to be the only white person in a neighborhood or stared at as the only white guy around, then I don't go to those places. If it doesn't bother me, then I do. Funny how the only people constantly bringing up race are the people who say they are punished because of their race.
