There is no such thing as white privledge

Correct. The idea of racial "privilege" is stupid, but given how leftists seem to define it, as racial discrimination in favor of a group, then we've been living in an era of net non-white (especially black) privilege for years. That's true both at the institutional level, where the only racially discriminatory policies are in favor of non-whites, and with cultural double standards. 100 years ago light skinned blacks would try to pass themselves off as white for better opportunities. Now whites try to pass themselves off as minorities for the same reason, as frauds like Elizabeth Warren, Rachel Dolezal, and Shaun King illustrate.

The notion of applying "privilege" to the majority even when minorities really were being oppressed is especially asinine since a "privilege" evokes something enjoyed by a few, not the default norm. And most white people never benefited from anti-black discrimination. There weren't enough blacks around for that to be possible. It's not like a lot of whites got jobs they wouldn't have otherwise had if not for Jim Crow. In fact segregation hurt whites too by imposing inefficiencies on the economy.

The whole "privilege" BS is just more bigoted claptrap from a left that's gone all in on entrenching racial divisions for cynical strategic purposes.

LordBAElish, tell that to the people being held in captivity in the detainment camps (concentration camps) today.

"Half black" people call themselves black if they resemble black people. Duh.

Keep in mind that privilege doesn't always mean an unfair advantage. Privilege can also mean the absence of an unfair disadvantage. That is typically what "white privilege" is in the US. White people are treated fairly or close to it. Since thats the case, a lot of white people get angry when they hear the phrase white privilege. Yet when it comes to the unfair disadvantage of non-white people, you all stomp your feet with your fingers in your ears while saying "la la la can't hear you la la la black athletes la la la."

There’s no such thing as white supremacy, either. Just ask Tucker Carlson - if you can find him these days ( he’s in hiding).

It simply does not exist.

Agree to disagree.

I will say that white privilege isn't about the benefits of being white, but the disadvantages of not being white.

However, I do think people get too caught up on the 'white' part of white privilege because they perceive it to mean that white people can't experience poverty and socioeconomic disadvantages - which is obviously not true. Privilege belongs to class much more than it does to race. And if you think of any other country outside of the western world, then you realize that the most privileged people in other countries aren't white. The richest people in China are Chinese, for example.

But in the western world, historically, not being white has had major disadvantages (understatement) and those haven't eroded over time.

Interesting point, although controversial. Here's the way I see it:

Yes, there is still some stereotyping/discrimination/etc. based to some degree on race/ethnicity/etc. alone -- that's not deniable.

There is also the fact that some people -- even in cases of powerful/influential/wealthy people who may not even be white -- use the "race card" in order to have a crutch/failsafe to lean on at times of personal issues.

For example, a rich celebrity who may be, say, black could say, "Us blacks are held back more than whites," or something of that nature with the irony being that they personally are well ahead of anyone in many ways, race/ethnicity/etc.

Sure, there are downsides that come for some people, and there is still racism/etc. that can obviously be problematic. The thing I don't like is people using 'X' background/culture/etc. as a constant crutch, excuse or weapon to try and seek to gain from it rather than address any downsides that come with it & not worry about it being their stepping stone.

Like imagine someone using their impoverished position as a means to direct success due to pity or such. I would not feel honorable or proud personally if I knew and used my race/culture/background as a specific, direct factor to my success in some way. I have even refused the idea of things like, "Help a Hispanic/Spanish/etc." funds or such because I don't want to use these racially/ethnically/culturally tied methods to help raise my rank or such because I have that background. I want to improve myself without anyone knowing or worrying about my background, leaving those kind of things out of the equation of my person/success/nature overall.

It's not about being "too proud" but about wanting to grow and improve without attributing it to some innate inability that requires some other help specific to me as a person of 'X' background or you know....

I'd want to simply say, "I became successful," not because I'm Spanish/African/etc. and that I got help for those reasons alone.
