'WHITE GUILT' Video Shown to High School Students

And beyond all else, isnt it blatant racism to dismiss the accomplishments of an entire race of people with the word 'privilege'?

Privilege doesnt erase anyones accomplishments Meryl Streep. Cut the shit.
Sure it does.

Just like the movie shows, it is not a win for a runner to defeat opponents who do not have an equal footing.

By saying all whites have privilege to explain their accomplishments, you are erasing those accomplishments.

...A]

Nicely done there.

And something no reasonable person can deny.
 
By saying all whites have privilege to explain their accomplishments, you are erasing those accomplishments.

Thats only because you feel that way but again knowing whites have a leg up on others has nothing to do with what you accomplished. Youre outrage comes from your misunderstanding

White privilege (or white skin privilege) is a term for societal privileges that benefit people identified as white in Western countries, beyond what is commonly experienced by non-white people under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. Academic perspectives such as critical race theory and whiteness studies use the concept of "white privilege" to analyze how racism and racialized societies affect the lives of white or white-skinned people.

According to Peggy McIntosh, whites in Western societies enjoy advantages that non-whites do not experience, as "an invisible package of unearned assets".[1] White privilege denotes both obvious and less obvious passive advantages that white people may not recognize they have, which distinguishes it from overt bias or prejudice. These include cultural affirmations of one's own worth; presumed greater social status; and freedom to move, buy, work, play, and speak freely. The effects can be seen in professional, educational, and personal contexts. The concept of white privilege also implies the right to assume the universality of one's own experiences, marking others as different or exceptional while perceiving oneself as normal.[2][3]

The concept has attracted attention and some opposition. Some critics say that the term uses the concept of "whiteness" as a proxy for class or other social privilege or as a distraction from deeper underlying problems of inequality.[4][5] Others state that it is not that whiteness is a proxy but that many other social privileges are interconnected with it, requiring complex and careful analysis to identify how whiteness contributes to privilege.[6] Critics of white privilege also propose alternate definitions of whiteness and exceptions to or limits of white identity, arguing that the concept of "white privilege" ignores important differences between white subpopulations and individuals and suggesting that the notion of whiteness cannot be inclusive of all white people.[7][8] They note a problem with the interpretation of people of color, in that it fails to acknowledge the diversity of people of color and ethnicity within these groups.[6] Conservative critics have offered more direct critiques of the concept; one writes that "today ... the lives of minorities are no longer stunted by prejudice and 'white privilege'",[9] while another says that the concept is a danger to the project of achieving an equal society.[10]

Gina Crosley-Corcoran in her Huffington Post article, "Explaining White Privilege to a Broke White Person", says that she was initially hostile to the idea that she had white privilege, initially believing "my white skin didn't do shit to prevent me from experiencing poverty", until she was directed to read Peggy McIntosh's "Unpacking the invisible knapsack". According to Crosley-Corcoran, "the concept of intersectionality recognizes that people can be privileged in some ways and definitely not privileged in others." [11] Other writers have noted that the "academic-sounding concept of white privilege" sometimes elicits defensiveness and misunderstanding among white people, in part due to the rapidity in which the concept of white privilege was rapidly brought into the mainstream spotlight through social media campaigns such as Black Lives Matter.[12] Cory Weinburg, writing for Inside Higher Ed, has stated that the concept of white privilege is frequently misinterpreted by non-academics because it is an academic concept that has been recently been brought into the mainstream. Academics interviewed by Weinburg, who have been otherwise studying white privilege undisturbed for decades, have been taken aback with the seemingly-sudden hostility from right-wing critics since 2014.[13]

And yet you feel comfortable dismissing any accomplishments I may or may not have made, and all the work it took me to accomplish them no matter how extreme the effort may have been.

Yup. Reading your posts, it is easy to dismiss your "accomplishments', or that you have an IQ above room temperature


AND dismissing the hard work and accomplishments of ALL WHITE MALES.

You are a fucking asshole.
you act as if you cured cancer, invented a perpetual motion machine and solved world hungry.
in reality you've done no more, probably less than most people of any given race .
you seems to be one of those because I'm white my "accomplishments" are superior to others for doing the exact same thing.


I'm made no such claims.

I've claimed to have worked hard, and had some accomplishments and to have taken some risks.

You libs are the ones dismissing that, because of my skin color.
bullshit every time you whine about it you are making a claim .
if this is not a claim "
AND dismissing the hard work and accomplishments of ALL WHITE MALES." then what is it ? were you straining to take a dump?

Whine is lib "code" for, "I know that you are completely right, but I don't care, because I'm a complete fucking asshole."


I've made no such claims about my personal accomplishments, nor about the accomplishments of other whites.

When you claim, as the OP does, that white accomplishments are the result of White Privilege, you are denying their personal accomplishments.

Try to be less of a dishonest dick.

No one here is confused about what you libs mean by white privilege.
 
By saying all whites have privilege to explain their accomplishments, you are erasing those accomplishments.

Thats only because you feel that way but again knowing whites have a leg up on others has nothing to do with what you accomplished. Youre outrage comes from your misunderstanding

And your irrational defense of what you claim comes from your inability to be honest.

Any runner who is caught cheating in a race is disqualified. Any runner who is given a head start on his opponents, who has no obstacles while his opponents get a dozens of them, etc that runner cannot accomplish a victory even if he crosses the line first and any honest person would admit that.

That you refuse to admit that you assertion of 'white privilege' does not unmake white accomplishment says more about your deficit of integrity than it says about anything else.
 
When you claim, as the OP does, that white accomplishments are the result of White Privilege, you are denying their personal accomplishments.

Again, no one did that. You are fighting your own strawman and calling it "The Liberals"

I refuse to admit to something I dont mean? Well, yeah.

No you refuse to admit what the words you use mean.

Words dont mean whatever you want them to, just cuz. They are defined and when you string them together with syntax to form sentences they have more complex meaning, even if you dont want them to.
 
Again, no one did that. You are fighting your own strawman and calling it "The Liberals"
No, actually video did EXACTLY that.

No it didnt, it showed that whites were able to pass along wealth. No where in that video did it show a white person doing something and then that something being erased. Thats all your feelings and you want someone to make sense of your nonsense.

Am I allowed to have my own beliefs? Because the existence of white privilege doesn't mean something else cannot exist. Everytime I say that your reply is to tell me what I really believe is not what I believe at all.
 
It seems that everything that happens Jim believes its all about him. Black pride takes away from them somehow. White privilege takes away from them some type of way. Half Time show takes something from them. Things cant exist by themselves with these guys.

false! when I say you whine, you are doing just that, no code necessary.
also you are so far from right you've reached the point of no return.
white privilege aids "white accomplishments" no reasonable person could deny that.
what is difference between white accomplishment and accomplishment by some one of another race, say two guys want to be doctors and the only difference is one is white and the other of a race of your choosing?
 
When you claim, as the OP does, that white accomplishments are the result of White Privilege, you are denying their personal accomplishments.

If someone only "wins" a race because the other people are prevented from running for a lap, and then have tremendous obstacles placed in their path, then that person didn't really "win" the race. They cheated.

They did not "accomplish" that supposed "win".

That was the point of the op.

And it was an analogy for White Privilege.

How dishonest can you be?
