Poor white trash here in the ozarks laugh at your white privilege.

They shouldn't since they're not likely to be get shot multiple times while unarmed and running from the police.

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.

---

I've yet to hear of anyone, regardless of race, being shot after obeying the police...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

Good for you. My father was born in 1928 in Alabama and was dirt poor. His only escape was to join the military, which he did. He said at the time, the Air Force did not care if you were black, white, rich, poor, whatever. Not everybody is as fortunate as Waco and grows up with a silver spoon in their mouth. Since you are so well off, WACO, I think you should donate your Social Security checks to either Black Lives Matter, the NAACP, or the United Negro College Fund. Sounds like it is way past time for you to pay it forward after being a product of white privilege these last 70 years. You should be ashamed of yourself for being born white.

I said rarely, but instead of putting his hands up, he reaches back into the vehicle? I can post numerous (or you can research on youtube) numerous videos of blacks, whites, Hispanics, etc getting pulled over by cops and acting appropriately. None of them get shot.

He was asked for his license, he went into his car to retrieve it. The officer yelled at him to get out of the car and he did so, and the officer began firing, including one shot after his hands were already in the air. The trooper was just sentenced to 12 years in prison for this incident.

You said that you had never heard or seen an instance where someone followed police instructions and got shot, in my opinion, now you have.

To be clear, I absolutely agree with you that following police instructions is the way to go and might have prevented a number of the more high profile cases we hear about.

Agreed...and there was the kid in Fresno that I just researched and learned about. Interestingly enough, after he was shot (once while on the ground) white people did not riot and break windows. I think black people want white people to take their "cause" more seriously, then don't destroy your community in protest...and stop blaming white people for all of your problems. At some point, we are personally accountable for our lives.

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.

So called "white privilege" is total horse crap spewed by the left to aid in their unrelenting constant effort to keep people of color angry, bitter, depressed and feeling hopeless and threatened. Can't have that voting block actually come to any kind of mass realization of what kind of incredible opportunities are potentially out there for them if they appropriately adjust their attitudes and consistently make good life choices and decisions. Nope - got to keep them on that 21st Century plantation feeling like they've got no prayer because they aren't white and their only hope is to just subsist on the crumbs the liberals they keep electing dole out to them. Also got to keep them thinking that their choices such as the choice to have children out of wedlock that will be abandoned by the father, or the choice to use and/or deal drugs, or the choice to become a common street thug have nothing to do with the ultimate consequences that will befall them. No. Those consequences are because of things like "white privilege" and to boot, the cops hate them and want to kill them simply because they are persons of color.

It's all an utter lie that continues to be told and pushed on a segment of the population explicitly designed to keep them down for the sake of continued power and political gain. It is beyond shameful and evil, but it persists thanks largely to leftists, the democrat party, the mainstream entertainment / news media, and a huge segment of academia.

That does not state WHAT the privileges are unless it is your opinion that the color of white skin is subjectively better than other colors. If that is the case then YOU have a skin color bias.

privilege
priv()lij/
noun
a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.

Just because one skin color is the predominate skin color in a certain country does not rule out the possibility that people with other skin colors also have privileges as well whether in that country or around the world.

Again, what in your opinion are the privileges and do you think people of other colors also have privileges based upon their skin color?

. For instance I was born in Waco at Hillcrest. If a black child was born in Hillcrest it was probably in the segregated wing. When that black child started school it was in a segregated school and it stayed segregated until I graduated in 1966. We did not receive the same healthcare or education. When I rode the bus downtown blacks were in the back of the bus. I went to eat at El Chico's on the circle and it was whites only. I shopped at Gibson's and there were two water fountains Whie and Colored. At age 12 my family took a vacation to New Orleans and I saw billboards that said MLK was a communist Agitator. I went to an all white Methodist church and the black Methodists went to black churches. That mindset by whites is still predominantly alive in the south. I've over heard way too many conversations here 2017 that were blatantly racists. Whites felt they could talk that way because I was white. It was unguarded. Senator Tim Scott a black senator from SC has been pulled over 7 times and treated rudely by white officers. White privilege is real. But you will never see it until you empathize rather than argue. .

I am still having a hard time understanding the point of this exercise. If you are living in a white culture then it is not a privilege to also be white as that is the common denominator. Think of it as a school of goldfish . . . there is no privilege to being gold, because every fish is gold. Now, a white goldfish may be disadvantaged because he is white and thereby different from the other fish. Fish can be cruel you know.

A black man in a white culture would be a similarly disadvantage because he is not white. People can be cruel you know. However, his disadvantage cannot not transform the white person to privileged in the already white culture. Being white is the common denominator.

The better question is really this . . . is it better to be disadvantaged in a white culture or to be the common denominator in a black culture?

To take your anecdotal experience and claim it represents everyone else's experience is a complete lie. You clearly have racist friends. If you hang around them then...

I'm not arguing, I'm asking you to define a word from the title of your thread. Why should that be so complicated?

Your answer is a lot of anecdotal comments from your life 50 or more years ago, a few conversations with some obnoxious people, and one black senator who has reportedly been harassed by police. That's all you can come up with to define "white privilege" throughout the entire world?

I already said that I believe there are advantages to being white, so your post does nothing expand my world view or anybody else's really.

You still haven't said if you think people of other colors also have privileges based upon their skin color.

Why would you turn a discussion of white privilege into a commentary on the illegitimate birth rate in the black community? How are the two related?

That mindset by whites is still predominantly alive in the south. I've over heard way too many conversations here 2017 that were blatantly racists. Whites felt they could talk that way because I was white. It was unguarded.


What kind of folks are you hanging with.

NONE I know. Or maybe folks would never talk that way around me cause they know I might go off on them. My childs 7th grade class has 12 Hispanic, 11 White and 11 Black kids. It was difficult to find a Christian School like this, they are usually not very diverse, but East Fort Worth has one, and because I do not want him hanging around folks like you describe I jumped at this school, very diverse and everybody is treated the same. I want him to know people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. I want to him to grow up with close friends of every kind. The way I was brought up.

I feel for you cause you must hang with some disgusting old white people. I do emphasize with poor black folks, and poor hispanic folks, and poor white folks who start behind the 8 ball. I grew up in an area that was behind the 8 ball. Thankfully these folks don't have your mindset and CAN achieve anything they set their mind on. Is it harder, sure it can be, I didn't have a teacher in HS that could teach the last two math classes I tried to take, so you are already behind some others. But, the only one that can stop them, is them.

I have a challenge for you, get out of your personal prison, and look at your black and brown brothers as your equals. They are.

You are the one separating "them and us" by the color of their skin.

I'm guessing 47 knows about 3 black people

---

and you would guess wrong. Re read what white privilege is and not what you think it is. Can you do that?

---

You still have not defined what you think the privileges are or if you think people of other colors also have privileges based upon their skin color.

. For instance I was born in Waco at Hillcrest. If a black child was born in Hillcrest it was probably in the segregated wing. When that black child started school it was in a segregated school and it stayed segregated until I graduated in 1966. We did not receive the same healthcare or education. When I rode the bus downtown blacks were in the back of the bus. I went to eat at El Chico's on the circle and it was whites only. I shopped at Gibson's and there were two water fountains Whie and Colored. At age 12 my family took a vacation to New Orleans and I saw billboards that said MLK was a communist Agitator. I went to an all white Methodist church and the black Methodists went to black churches. That mindset by whites is still predominantly alive in the south. I've over heard way too many conversations here 2017 that were blatantly racists. Whites felt they could talk that way because I was white. It was unguarded. Senator Tim Scott a black senator from SC has been pulled over 7 times and treated rudely by white officers. White privilege is real. But you will never see it until you empathize rather than argue. .

To take your anecdotal experience and claim it represents everyone else's experience is a complete lie. You clearly have racist friends. If you hang around them then...

I do not have remotely the same experience as you and have not heard people talk like you in my presence in 30+ years. But, I don't claim that my personal experience represents everyone else's.

---

My "anecdotal" experience in each and every case was reflective of a larger cultural context of racism and segregation. It was my experience in a racist and segregated society and for blacks it was devastating real.

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.

---

. You whiffed. You distorted my notion of white privilege. It is about empathy. For blacks who walk around in this world black. Can you not empathize?

---

No, I can't. I don't have empathy for someone just because their skin is a different color.

---

Then you are sad human being. Empathy makes for justice in this world. And I do have empathy for different skin colors becsusr it lets me see their world as they see it and to see the hurt and humiliation they feel at people like you fadskier. Why you would intentionally cause pain?
