I'm willing to give this thread air-time here until the end of the day, but its destination will largely depend on how this conversation goes.

Oh dude, please stop. Just stop.

It's racist to assume that people of a different skin color are somehow unable to provide for themselves and make a life for themselves the same way white people can.

We’re not saying it’s impossible. We’re saying it’s a lot harder for those without privilege to catch up to those who do have it.

Having white skin doesn't give you privilege. We have laws that make it a requirement to hire minorities. We have laws making it a requirement for colleges to accept minorities. If anything that's the privilege. This isn't judging someone based on the content of their character it has everything to do with the color of their skin. If it was about character then race wouldn't be asked on applications.

The fact that there are laws on the books is evidence of the privilege.

It's evidence of combating privilege. I'm not saying white people never had privilege, I'm saying that in 2019 there is no privilege based on race in the United States.

Hi general discussion forum. How we missed you so

I mean honestly, this should be the end of the thread.

College kids overreact and it ignites social media isn't a rare occurrence either.

The author did not come to our campus to facilitate a conversation about race. Based on some of the quotes from her lecture, she was very incendiary and caused the discussion portion of her lecture to be very tense with some of her remarks. Several students got up and walked out.

Unfortunately the university removed the video of her lecture from their website or I would post it here. I still don’t believe burning her book and posting it to social media was the correct way to express their difference of opinion.

The author loves the publicity she’s getting. She’s currently using this story and the headlines to plug her new book titled “My Time Among the Whites” on social media.

Yup, and the idiot media that ran with the Jussie Smollet, Covington Cathloic, Erica Thomas, and Immanuel Christian School hoaxes without doing some basic journalism first will help her out.

As a white man, if I get pulled over, it's a minor inconvenience. In these days, African-Americans fear for their lives when being pulled over. That's privelage.

Racism isn't solved. But hating someone based on the color of their skin is not privilege. Racism is defined as prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. That means any race can be subject to racism and in no way leads to white privilege any more than it leads to black privilege, asian privilege, or whatever other races you want to throw in there.

PRIME example.

I joke that I'm still waiting for my white privilege to kick in. My privilege exists due to a handful of adults who taught me to work hard, smart, and how to build strong relationships. Some of those folks were white and some were not. So, any privilege I have is the result of hard work, good decisions, and love. Of these, I'd have to say that love was the biggest contributing factor and that it comes in all skin tones.

It's not privilege it's media bias. The fact is that in absolute numbers more white people are killed by police than black people. It just gets covered more when they can play the race card. Just like how the Jussie Smollet hoax blew up because they knew they could play the race card. You may view getting pulled over as a minor inconvenience but some other white person may fear for their life when they're pulled over. The same scenario can easily be said for black people. Fear does not equate to privilege.

This is a myth that is not supported by data. But even if we go out on a limb big time and assume that all killings were not justified, all in all it's virtually negligible rates of death.

There are lots of variables that influence how privileged a person is, but race is way down the list of things.

Well, I'm also white and sick of the whole "white privilege" absurdity. During the early part of my life I grew up on a dirt road. My Dad worked in the mill and later as a house painter. We never had more than one family car. I worked in the mill and painted in the summers to save money to buy a car. I took a big load of hours because I basically paid my way through the last two years of college. My first actual job out of college the person I interviewed with said I was the better candidate, but HR was making him hire a minority. I've worked my tail off for everything I've got. Nobody gave me anything and by no means am I the exception. If that's white privilege then so he it. I'm sick to my stomach of liberals trying to make me ashamed of my skin color simply because they have some kind of agenda to push. It also saddens me deeply to see the indoctrination of young people of all colors into accepting this garbage.

no one's trying to make anyone ashamed of their skin color no matter what it is .That's on you.

Damn. This is really going downhill and is disappointing. I'm sorry to note a news item as trash talk against a hated rival that then manifested to subject nice fans on this board to the inner thoughts of some of the posters. My bad.

Fearing for their lives? Please share the source, MSNBC & CNN don't qualify, for the statistics that prove this. Please tell me how many black people got pulled over today, this week and month who lost their lives? The amount of misinformation, distortion and downright lies being spread today is appalling.
