How can an attitude be privileged? I showed no attitude anyway; I simply used logic and the facts i have learned over time. If that comes across as attitude to you maybe its you who has the attitude?

and i'm white
how does my "white privilege" apply to the fact that i worked alongside so many successful non-whites in demanding fields?
Yes.
Could you identify for me, please, the time in America's history when black people have ever been afforded the benefit of the doubt? Because it seems to me like we had generations of slavery, generations or Jim Crow, complete with earnest vows never to change, and then a half-generation of approximate legal equality, and suddenly half of white America is wondering if maybe all those prejudices were for a good reason after all. There are still states flying confederate battle flags, and you want to tell me that all the wounds of the past have been wiped away and black people today have nothing to complain about?
It's remarkable to me how you can fail to see see how the prejudice of your first statement refutes the pretense of your second.

Thats because there was no prejudice in the first and no pretense in the second.

Its amazing you had to spoon feed this to him.
I dunno.
That's all heart-warming and all but which values are you referencing...the ones that compel you to make "watermelon" slurs?

Any watermelon slurs were made to mock your silly arguments and hypocritical pretense; not because of any belief in said slurs.
Do you understand the word "implicitly"?
What about the concept of racism makes you assume that it would be applied evenly or fairly?
So if blacks don't toe the whitey value structure line that's too bad for them? Correct?
If so, my comment stands up well thank you.

values that lead to success - hard work, taking advantage of opportunity by being prepared, excelling at education, forgoing drugs, the party life, violence, crime, being law-abiding, respectful to authority, etc
how does my "white privilege" factor into the fact that I often had managers and supervisors, md/phds, who were minorities?
According to Town Heretic, there is no such thing as: demeaning white people, making comedy of white people, or desensitizing others to problems white people face in the media 
No Dave Chapelle, Soul Plane, White Girls, Dear White People, White Privilege, anon anon.
American History X was directed by a Jew- I mean go figure. Who's the odd one out in that movie? Not the black gangs taking over and killing innocent people, or illegals sabotaging businesses- it's the white guy with a swastika who really was the victim from the get go :freak:

i still don't get how stating the fact that, in my experience, blacks like watermelon is a slur
blacks like watermelon
whites like watermelon
i don't know anybody who doesn't like watermelon :idunno:
Just appraising a man by way of his prior actions. Rather just, given the context.

Yeah, I tried pointing that out earlier. It didn't work.
