You're a joke, really. By that logic only whites are rich and get things via their connections or inheritance. Does Jay-Z, Michael Jordan, Russell Simmons, Puff Daddy or Snoop Dogg's kids have black privilege? I guarantee you they've got a hell of a lot better chance in life than this kid or myself did and probably get the benefit of the doubt just because of who their father is.

You act as if only minority races had it bad.

You clearly have no concept of what white privilege is.

White privilege is the practice of getting prefered treatment simply by being white. Like getting to sit at the front of the bus while everyone else has to sit in the back.

If you think that doesn't exist, then you sir are a joke.

This type of whining is the most pathetic of all.

There will always be something that some people have that gives them "preferred treatment".

Sometimes because you share a skin color, or religion, your social group, or even the way you dress, talk, act or just your attractiveness.

Just being attractive sets a lot of men and women apart from all others. The beautiful people are given everything in life.

You just hate white people so much and want to label them as evil or bad people so bad that it conflicts with basic reasoning and common sense.

I am doing no such thing. I am simply asking you to acknowledge that white privilege exists.

What if I told you, black privilege.

I don't think it exists b/c it simply doesn't exist anymore. Blacks, hispanics, asians, etc, etc, etc are able to do anything whites are able to do now.

It may not exist now but that is only because of affirmative action.

Tell you what, Fit. You give me/us a clear, concise definition or summation of what exactly this "white privilege" is supposed to be and if it makes sense maybe I'll agree.

Right now, I don't really know what you and these other lunatics (read: Diversity Trainers ) are even talking about.

Sure.

Felton Dorsey tortured and murdered Joe Prock, a retired Fire Captain, after he walked into his mother's house to visit, while Dorsey was there robbing her at gunpoint. Dorsey then pistol whipped Prock, knocking him to the ground, then tying him up and setting him afire, therefore leading to his death inside his own mother's house. Dorsey was given the death penalty, until the NAACP came to his rescue and said the trial was a bad trial because there was a Confederate Flag near the courthouse. Dorsey was taken off of death row, and is receiving a retrial which could possibly lead to a release from prison.

Dorsey was black, Prock was white.

Donald Sterling didn't want his black girlfriend bringing other black men to his NBA games, instantly labeled a racist and fined $2.5 million with a lifetime ban within 3 days.

Jay Z sits court side with a Five Percenter medallion which means he believes the black race is superior and the white race is weak and inferior. Not a word is said.

That's black privilege vs white privilege. See how far it REALLY gets you?

Side note: I used current events, not events from 1960.

There's also many black only events, schools, and channels. No chance at white only things the same.

Where is there a black only school or channel. Even Grambling has white students and BET has white actors, musicians, and others on it.

While I believe that there is a such thing as white privilege, it's nothing to really apologize about. They can't help it. Just like all things we're on the losing side of some battles and on the winning side of others.

Historically black colleges. Black Entertainment Television. You don't consider that black privilege?

You can't believe in white privilege without believing that black privilege exists. And I don't care if there's white people in those places... White Entertainment Television, White Movie Awards, White Rodeos, etc would immediately be compared to the KKK. Holding a seminar about black privilege would immediately label any attendees racists. I mean seriously, lets be for real, that's not white privilege.

Having a target on your back isn't what I would call a privilege.

Historically black colleges have white students and some of the highest rates of international students. BET has white people on most of their shows last time I looked.

That's not black privilege, that's just compensating for hardly having a presence elsewhere.

Did I say there was no black privilege. I don't think I did.

There are white entertainment television stations, most of them actually. Most movie awards cater to white people, most rodeos are a vast majority white.

Do you want EVERYTHING to be a majority white.

I'm sorry, Nomad, but blacks have a presence everywhere. They don't need all of the race labeled things. On top of that, if you see a nearly all white school, it's mandatory, BY LAW, that blacks are integrated into that school to meet a certain percentage. I don't see that with predominately black schools. Fair Park is an all black High School in Shreveport, as is Booker T. Washington High School. No integration of white students.

I don't want you to get the wrong idea that I'm trying to explain, because I don't have an issue with this. If blacks want their own schools and neighborhoods then that's fine, I just don't need people having lectures and screaming about white privilege when it definitely doesn't exist.

And I still haven't seen any examples of white privilege.

That is correct. But these institutions were created precisely because of white privilege.

If there was no such thing as white privilege, there would be no need for blacks only events.

Name one white entertainment television SHOW. Didn't 12 Years a Slave just win an Academy Award? Most rodeos are white because black guys aren't very well known for having an attraction to ride bulls. And no, I don't need ANYTHING to be a majority white, what I need is for people to think logically.
