Is White Privilege Real?

[glassjester]

and that's your privilege!

Well... I guess if there's got to be a privileged group, it might as well be the majority.

The good of the many, and all that.

Hillary almost became the President because she's a woman, Obama became President because he was black.

yep

 

[rexlunae]

The former.

Sure. But even when they do, there are often people who are suspicious of that success.

How do those people overcome white privilege?

 

[rexlunae]

How do those people overcome white privilege?

By being that much better.

 

[Crucible]

How do those people overcome white privilege?

The same way someone overcomes a horror movie:

realizing it is just fiction.

 

[Danoh]

On the inside, we're all just white skeletons.

A reminder of all those skeletons in that closet with the nice white door :chuckle:

 

[glassjester]

By being that much better.

Better at what?

 

[rexlunae]

Better at what?

Whatever they're succeeding at. What do you think?

 

[glassjester]

Whatever they're succeeding at. What do you think?

So given two men, a black guy and a white guy, in the same field of work and the same level of success...

You assume the white guy didn't work as hard (or wasn't as skilled) to get there?

what blacks are succeeding at:

So now you don't want me to choose? Because, you know, I did... lain:

24 hours later and he still hasn't revealed his choice :think:

It's a real nailbiter!

No, but that's part of the mindset that plagues you, even though a glimmer of rationality should tell you that no black man can win the presidency without support from outside of his race, by way of.

Liberals deny these things

Because liberals tend to be better educated, but I think you're short changing a number of conservatives who'd give you the old whooo-ha if pressed on the point.

These guys couldn't land a job, because the employers were 'racist'. Didn't have anything to do with the tattoos, the criminal record, or the unprofessional attitude.

As subtle, compelling, and intellectually honest as a minstrel show.

Exhibit B:

In the case of Cruc vs. Sanity...where the key holding was, "Buggagbuggabuggabugga." oly:

That's liberalism, folks.

No, but it's a great illustration of how you think about liberalism. Or how you think, generally.
