I have white privilege therefore I can't be offended as I am an oppressor. Or some stupid shit like that.
I've recently wondered why I went to college, worked hard to move up, and ever filled out an application for employment when all I had to do was put on a piece of paper "I'm white" with all the white privilege I had.
i started reading an article where a young black girl was telling someone examples of white privilege. she said they moved into an all white neighborhood and people would look at them funny and throw rocks in their pool. white privilege is now that whites can move here w/o the hassle.
if i move into an all black neighborhood i'll not only be looked at funny, it's likely going to hurt. is this black privilege?
the problem i have is this is all being pushed 1 way. turn the situations around you'll see the same "human nature" behavior. does it need to change? sure and hopefully in time it will as we learn to trust each other.
things like this won't help build up trust:
(celtics actually started dreads i believe so she's claiming rights to a style they didn't invent as far as i know anyway)
BLM demands of white people. yes, this will bring people together.
another video on same topic
reparations? really?
Whoopi Goldberg: "This is why Black People don't want to talk to White People"
who's making it about race again?
and shit like this leads to:
Hate Rising: White Supremacy in America
yet only the reaction is getting the blame, not those who openly are racist to white people.
Man pulled from car and beaten, car stolen FOR VOTING TRUMP
yea, i can see nothing but love coming from this and how whites are treated.
and then - what about?
Teens set kid on fire for being 'white boy'
the insane push to have this go 1 way and 1 way only, anything else is racism, is stupid. ass-nugget stupid. you can't force one set of people to behave in a certain manner esp by doing things like the above.
TO BE FAIR - you can pull as many videos where colors are reversed. yes, you sure can.
this makes it a social issue on both sides, not a "kill ******" scenario that's being painted and pushed these days. as an older white male i'm demonized for nothing more than being older and white. no one knows my views, they just assume.
what is this called again?
nothing that would be allowed in reverse these days.
white privilege i'm sure does exist in the manner of which this young lady described it. but reverse the colors and you know what?
it still exists.
so it's not a 1 way problem that requires a 1 way solution. is a social problem that will require working together for common goals and demonizing either side is so very counter productive to what both sides say they want in the end.
