They don't know what it's like to be a minority, so you really can't blame them for not completely understanding. They don't know what it's like to be treated differently, simply because of their skin color.

Because it doesn't exist it's a lie that racist people believe in.



Are you telling me I am successful because of the color of my skin



or do you think because I am White my world is sun shine and Rainbows?



I wouldn't say White privilege was made up by Black people because most Blacks don't believe this lie.



this lie comes from those with Ghetto mindset they refuse to get a education because their peers would call them Uncle Toms they want things to come free to them because their ancestors were Slaves many long years ago.



Only they believe in White privilege but little do they know that they are more likely to get a jump than whites because of racism.



If a work place doesn't have enough minorities employees then the company will go out and hire some that way no one can say the company is racist.



White privilege is a lie that ghetto people use as an excuse why they can't make it in life.

They do understand white privilege. They just refuse to acknowledge it out of fear of being labeled racists. If you were a white man and had a daughter, you would want her to marry a white man as well because you know her future will be brighter with him. He will have more doors opened to him, promotions due to his good work ethic but being white doesnt hurt. A policeman will never feel threatened by pulling over a white man which is why a lot of times they don't even get a ticket. Last time I went to court for a speeding ticket it was full with hispanics, blacks, some asians and Indians and only 2 white people were there besides the judge and the cop there. I'm so sorry I couldn't be white because if I was white, people would have no reason to look down upon me, they would take me more seriously. So to all those people who are white I say, enjoy it. It is a gift. You have no reason to fail in life. And rest easy knowing that next time you get pulled over, you wont have to fear for your life.

Because white people are idiots that think even though they have done **** to become who they are they aren't being helped along by the fact white people have an easier time because racism still exists today. It's the same as why men don't understand that they have it easier, and some men mat argue that they work harder but a woman of equal qualification is less likely to get a job a man is also going for. Same as poc, if a black man is highly qualified for a job a man that is white is more likely to get the job, even if he is not as qualified. A white person struggles to understand that they are being treated better because they haven't had to live through being treated worse. There are obviously exceptions though, I for one am white, and I'm sure anyone who grew up with people or live in an area where white skin is not the norm have experienced some oppression. People stick with what they are familiar with.

First off, I want to say that I'm sorry about what you had to deal with. Some of your neighbours sound like pretty terrible people.



With the term "white privilege" comes the assumption that you're given opportunities simply because you're white. So, for people who have struggled their whole lives or worked really really hard to get into a certain line of work, for example, that's extremely offensive. If you're in a mainly Caucasian area, there also isn't enough special treatment for everyone to be get a piece of it. Racism and bigotry are terrible, but it's also worth noting that most white people aren't like that, and at the same time some non-Caucasian people are. There's been a big movement lately about how bad all white people are (which is racist btw), and they're basically assumed to be racist, until they say something that proves that they are, which is going to make people sensitive to the term.

White privilege is just another label for a victim mentality that is preached by the left. If you you're a women you are a victim of sexism. If you are black it's racism or white privilege, If your poor it's the wealthy or elitism, If your gay it homophobia, if your Muslim is because everyone is anti-islam. and on and on and on. The world isn't perfect get over it, There is nothing keeping a person in this country who wants something bad enough that they cannot achieve it. The left doesn't want you to know that because they survive on victimhood. "If we don't take care of you, then you will never succeed". Look at anyone who is black, or female and successful and you will find they most likely all had some type of barrier to overcome but they didn't let that stop them.

White privilege is defined as a set of advantages and/or immunities that white people benefit from on a daily basis beyond those common to all others. To answer your question perhaps the way you think it should be answered - White privilege can exist without white people's conscious knowledge of its presence and it helps to maintain the racial hierarchy in this country.



It is a very similar concept to saying that black people are better boxers and run faster because they are born with more ability.



Similar to that statement about black boxers/running, understanding white privilege is one thing and meaningless,



agreeing that white privilege exists in the US, is another thing,



most important,



agreeing white privilege is prevalent in the US,

(which appears to be your point, not understanding it),

is still another thing and is the question that most people are answering,

and

it is debatable as shown by the answers.



That is not to say you are wrong,

By "white privilege", do you mean, studying in school, go to college, and then get a high paying job?



White privilege is almost non-existent. Notice when I said ALMOST, because sadly there are still racist white people out there that will not hire people because they're colored. However, people need to realize that there are black people (and other races) that have more high paying jobs than the majority of white people on this planet.



Those people didn't get to where they are today by holding picket signs and acting like they deserve everything in the world because they're ancestors were treated unfairly. The black people of today that are famous Olympians or make tons of money off of studying cures for cancer didn't get their jobs by telling they're employers all about the fact that this country used to be run by slaves, and then their bosses hire them because they felt bad. Reality is, they had to work just as hard as us white people, and doing that got them more than enough money to raise a family and live a successful life.



If you have the experience and the dedication, no matter what race, you can be whatever you want.

My argument is that the white privilege that activists try to address is usually mixed in with a lot of assumptions. For example, I am a middle class white male who lives in a suburb with a low crime rate, my dad is an optometrist and both of my parents live together. Clearly I have a lot of privilege compared to others because I have never worried about my dad losing his job, I have never lived paycheck to paycheck and I had access to a better public school than many of those who grew up in the city and I have never experienced racism. I also get to drive my dad's old car so I never had to buy my own. My older sister is adopted and she is Hispanic. She has access to all of the same resources I do but a big difference between us is that she has been harassed by the police, called racial slurs and been told she would get deported. She was given a speeding ticket in a construction zone for going 3 miles over when I got let off for going 16 miles over the one time I got pulled over. My sister has dealt with a form oppression that I may never be able to understand but that doesn't mean she is not privileged. She and I will never understand the struggle of waking up not knowing if your dad will still have a job or living someplace where you can get killed just walking on the side walk. We both have a place to live while attending college while some of the students attending the community college are homeless. We don't have to work an 8 hour shift and then go to another job instead of going home and we aren't working 7 days a week just to get by. My older brother who is also Hispanic attended a college that cost $10k plus the cost of his dorm, my parents paid his full tuition and he never even showed up to class. They then paid half his tuition while he got a general ed degree at community college and then let him continue living here while he got a different associate's degree in opticianry which he paid for on his own. He's 26 and hasn't moved out. Who else's parents would let them do that crap without kicking them out of the house? Certainly not mine now, my older sister and I were made to pay our own tuition from the beginning after his bs.

to think of white privilege,it's not always a good life for anyone it can be very hard on anyone,I don't know the numbers to say Privilege you mean to be better off not all white people have an easy life for one reason or another.to be born white it can only be wondered about how it would be to be black,Black people have come a long way and if the white and black people who want to stop that then we don't need them here put them on a nice island we can only be smarter, stronger and better if we are the same.

It's not privilege, it's superiority by careful selection. Just maybe whites are naturally better at things in life that matter because they have been bred to do so. You have to admit how they look and think are more acceptable than blacks. You would be better off being born white but you're not. So you'll just have to stop complaining and get used to being worse off because of genetics.

To quote bill o'reilly, if there's white privilege then there's also Asian privilege because you could easily say any one of those things about asians



The fact that America has a black president shows that Americans will support anybody who they feel will get the job done. It's not racism that keeps people down, it's their own decisions.

Define "White Privilege". I don't understand the term. I am a white guy of 65. I've worked hard all of my life and have earned everything I own. I've worked with Black, Asian, and Hispanic men all my life also. Those I've had the pleasure of working side by side with have equally succeeded. Am I supposed to feel guilty because I'm White? Realign your attitude and understand that everything the liberal press feeds you is not truth.

(1) They are white, and have had those privileges their entire lives, and therefore do not notice. Most people can't see outside their own bubble.

(2) They think the idea of "white privilege" diminishes their own personal experience and accomplishments.

(3) They really don't care if minorities have harder time.

(4) They think giving minorities equal privileges means taking those privileges away from them.

Here are just a few of the things that are more or likely to be true if one happens to have been born white in America:

1. You are less likely to be arrested.

2. You are more likely to get into college.

3. You are more likely to "fit in" and get called back for a job.

4. You are less likely to be perceived as a "thug."

5. You are less likely to be labeled "angry."

If you say white privilege isnt real then you must have never experienced it first hand.You dont get it because you are use to it.



Most white people respect the laws of our nation and our states. Most white people do as they are told by police.

Most white people don't glorify thuggish behavior in any way.



If you act like the law is written by white people so it does not apply to you or that is contrary to your culture you can't expect to not be viewed as thuggish. White people don't see thuggishness as a style or cool. Sorry but if you act like a fool or a thug that is what you will look like.



I saw one typical example of this last evening driving home from work. Three young black boys walking straight through an intersection across four lanes of light controlled traffic expecting everyone else to accommodate their disdain for following the prescribed DOT method of crossing the intersection because it is beneath their dignity.

Sort of like walking in the middle of the street instead of provided sidewalks.

White privilege? Who comes up with this crap? Whites are more law-abiding than blacks. Anybody with a pulse can get into some colleges and the other colleges are killing each other fighting over the limited pool of qualified black applicants. Whites are more likely to understand that you are paid to work, to take direction, and don't equate any employment situation where some white person is your boss as "slavery". If you employ a white person they aren't going to pull this racial crap on you. If you don't believe there is more criminality among blacks in general than white people, I would have to question what planet you think you are on.

Instead of punishing white people it would be better to find all the reasons why minorities (especially black people) have such a strong representation in prison.



I've actually studied this topic from both sides. How minorities (latino and blacks) raise their children contributes to this. Then there actual racial crime patterns. The added culture that latinos and blacks have of being afrid of encountering a corrupt cop or a cop who is use to a racial crime pattern (because cops see them a lot) creates an atmosphere that's easily missunderstood when someone is blatantly doing something wrong.



The media's Ghetto culture is seen as a way to empower ourselves (i'm latino) but it's actually a culture of criminalization. If someone dose something wrong then they should go to jail, and racial crime patterns exist, blacks make up an alarming amount of the prison representation with latinos close behind. I also know black friends who are followed by police.



It's the "natural growth" style parenting that latino and blacks do instead of tending to the child's mind early on that doesn't raise the maturity of these two minorities leaving for greater missunderstanding and frustration, add the african american high blood pressure or lack of mature family environment and clearly minorities will have difficulties with police.



So class, family structure, media influence, cultural child parenting, genetic variables and the psychological connotation of police is why minorities can have problems with this confrontation.



I once went into a store and me and my brother and cousin started walking around the store, since we didn't buy anything and we we're kids in a liquor store the manager told us to leave. I wasn't drinking at 14 but the connotation was obvious to him.



TL;DR: Blaming white people for their reputation isn't a solution. there are a few factors that minorities need to answer in their own parenting style, their cultural and psychological fear of police, and the seemily harmless media, gangs or ghetto subcultures they let their kids enjoy. It's disgustingly common for latino children to develop small gangs and they harass the children that don't join.

I provide for my family, work hard for all that I have, and I do have my struggles. Maybe those struggles are not as bad as what blacks go through, but hell....Why do I have to feel bad about that? Its not my doing, its certainly not something that I can fix..... Its all about accountability folks... if you keep blaming others for your lack of progress in life...but are unwilling to progress ...then what is the solution?

Because it's basically a bunch of BS drummed up by Guilty White Liberals and Black Community Activists as a way to blame every bad outcome for a person of color on racism. It's also a way to further the agenda of victimhood among the African-American community, and to absolve them of any responsibility for their actions.

Fu*k you and your white privilege/white guilt shi*. We work hard for what we have and minorities want everything on a silver platter. If I can be refused a job position because they need to meet minimum minority employee count, its actually you that are privileged. White men are being put down for the actions of our ancestors that aren't even relevant anymore, just as modern day blacks aren't in slavery. You have the same opportunity as the rest of us do now. But instead of putting in the effort, you just want it given as a "reparation". I won't give a dime to an able bodied man or woman who is just lazy and wants to play the race card to get an easy life.

I understand it perfectly. It helps make white people successful.



"White privilege" is when a white boy who lives in the ghetto gets a free kick in the behind every day for the crime of being white. It motivates him to study hard, and stay off drugs so he can get out of the ghetto, and avoid future *** kicking.



I am German. My grandparents never owned slaves, killed Jews, wore a white hood, or any of the other stuff that I got the blame for just for being white, and German.. In my school anyone not Mexican got a kick in the *** daily. I never had had issues with my black classmates.



I am your "brother' not your enemy. If some white person is a jerk to you, then that his HIS loss. God made him a "dick". I rather be black, red, yellow, brown, etc than be a :"dick".

Why don't non-whites understand affirmative action? Companies hiring people not based on qualifications, schools not admitting students based on qualifications, but in both instances decisions made solely based on making sure that a certain percentage of either employees or students are hired or enrolled simply based on race or ethnicity.



In other words racism.

It does not exist.



1) I abide by the law.

2&3) Where I am at in my career and education, black and hispanic applicants with "C" averages get accepted all the time. The white person that I know that had the lowest GPA, had a 3.2.

4) I dress in clothes that fit and carry myself well.

5) I have no idea. I guess its because I don't let my temper get the best of me.



The only real perk to being white is that bandaids somewhat match my skin tone.

I worked to get where I am at. I left high school with trade experience, a 3.9 GPA, and workforce experience. Sure I have a nice car, a nice job, and am happy, but not because of the color of my skin. I got where I am at by working hard, staying out of trouble, showing others respect, overcoming hardship, and not giving up.

It's not our fault we focus on education and other races don't.

'Whites' may have owned slaves, in the 1800's, but we moved past that and do NOT own any now....so, why do the African Americans feel we should pay them for one of their distant relatives who was a slave? If any other races would use their efforts, in a positive manner, then they wouldn't have to demand anyone pay them for something one of their distant relatives did eons ago. Other races need to focus on the positive and improve their own lives......just like all of us 'whites' did when we first came to America!

Less of us act like thugs



5. You are less likely to be labeled "angry."



Being angry is not the worst thing, but we are more likely to be labeled as racist and privileged.

Since "white privilege" is a complete myth, it cannot be understood.

I don't care to understand it. It's liberals like yourself that have to resort to racial tensions, not us on the right. Also, I could care less about being white.

No such thing. In today's age minorities are now the majority. From LGBT to BLM to Islamists. They get the press and hence get the "privileges".

Also, you have the issue that when you say the word "privilege" most people in the majority immediately think of themselves as being "normal" and people with more privileges than they have are privileged (i.e. wealthy people), and people who have less privileges than them are under-privileged (i.e. the poor and most minorities).

I know what you mean, but you hurt your position when you stereotype white people. I'm sure you don't like it when non-whites are stereotyped, so why do you do it?

Acknowledging it exists and crawling on my knees begging for forgivness for something I wasn't around for in the first place are two completely different things. You want me to grovel at your feet, all the while crying and throwing money at you while saying "Im sorry, Im sorry" You need to grow up

"white privilege" is nothing but propaganda perpetrated upon the masses by racists and bigots and militant civil rights campaigners all of who use the phrase "white privilege" for their own ends.

Why are there dirt poor & homeless European Descent since before the Civil War. Affirmative Action doesn't benefit them.



According to FBI statistics of 2014:



Criminals of the 12% Population commit 15% of Interracial crimes perpetrated on the 72% Population. If you Equalize the 12% Population & 72% Population in the middle it would be 36%. If you multiply 15% times 3 you get 45%.

Criminals of the 72% Population commits 7% of Interracial crimes perpetrated on the 72% Population. If you Divide 7% by 3 you get 2.33%.

When it comes to interracial rape Rapist of the 12% Population perpetrate 1000 rapes on Females of the 72% Population out of 1 rape perpetrated by Rapist with severe appearance deficit of the 72% Population Perpetrated on Females of the 12% population, although a mix female of both population has a higher chance due to the level of attractiveness. 1000 rapes committed by rapist of the 12% population out of 1 rape committed by rapist of the 72% population on opposing population is 0.1%



Should there be affirmative action in criminal behavior also? If 2% of children misbehave 5 times more that the other kids, should the 2% of Misbehaving Kids get off the hook 4 out of 5 times to make thing equal.

Yes white privilege exists. I've seen it in bureaucracies and police officers. White people tend to be insulated.
