Zone1 I’m a 36-year-old white man and I’ve never been provided any leg up by the US government or handout because I’m white

[Weatherman2020]

I come from a middle-class family…. when I moved out of my parents house I became very poor. I was living in an apartment. I never got anything for being white. And it’s sickens me to hear millionaire politicians, white and black claim that “Black people are held back in this country or white people are privileged”.

I Was turned down to get into a college and I didn’t complain about it. I decided to do the best I could. … working for myself and playing poker I’ve had success. I’ve been able to travel to Cambodia and Thailand for fun . A lot of people never even leave America.

Right now in America there are Black people and white people who are homeless. Their struggle is the same. And this argument about “white privilege” which has entire studies dedicated to It is 100% fake. There are universities that offer college courses on equity or diversity or absolute nonsense like that. It’s all fake. So when you hear somebody bring forth a so-called study About the “proof” that white people are privileged or the proof that their is system racism by police toward blacks it’s all based on lies and propaganda.

Whites pretend to be minorities to get advantages handed to them.

Fact.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Women and minorities can no longer be discriminated against, although the historical disparities in wealth and power persist, but we have made progress in achieving equality of opportunity.

Women just have the crap beat out of them by men and are supposed to go along with it here in 2024.

All old things are new again.

We're not talking about the sexual abuser running for president.

We're dealing with the inability to document claimed racial discrimination in university admission policies that no longer exist.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

The legacy of centuries of slavery and racial oppression is undeniable. The disparity in income, inherited wealth, and political and corporate power is irrefutable. Obviously, not every case conforms to the prevailing paradigm. Progress is being made.

In 2021, the typical White household had 9.2 times as much wealth as the typical Black household – $250,400 vs. $27,100.​

​

5.3 times[/B] as much as Black households and 6.4 times as much as Hispanic households. White households are 2.8 times more likely than Black households to inherit any wealth.] White households inherit over 5.3 times as much as Black households and 6.4 times as much as Hispanic households. White households are 2.8 times more likely than Black households to inherit any wealth.​

​

The current meeting of Congress is one of the most racially diverse in history. About 11% of congressional members identify as Black.​

That's what happens when you drop out of school, refuse to learn the language, hav kids outside of marriage, and in and on and on

Yes, centuries of oppression, exploitation, and discrimination has a plethora of consequences, including poverty and familial instability.

You miss the point. Blacks and Latinos can no longer be FAVORED over whites who are better qualified, although Biden didn’t get the memo. He broke the law when he said that whites and black males will be excluded from consideration for the VP slot.

 

[Lisa558]

The data collection most likely did not account for family units versus single parent. In fact I'll guarantee it didn't. Sooo.....if we're going to look at it another way......the black cultural concept of the nuclear family has been a disaster both culturally and financially.

That was my point as well. One cannot cry that black households have so much less wealth than whites, with the implication that it’s all due to racism - ignoring the shamefully high OOW rate among blacks.

As long as blacks have three out of every four babies out of wedlock, they will never come close to catching up.

Of course, the President broke no such law because there is no such law.

The sexual abuser/business fraud/convicted felon's lickspittles tried desperately to concoct charges against President Biden, but all hit jobs fizzled and no charges could be contrived.

If you made up a law concerning presidential candidates' vice presidential choices, please cite it.

 

[schmidlap]

Despite fake claims from the usual suspects, there is no racial preference in university admissions criteria.

Like the institution of slavery that resulted in the disparity of wealth and power by race, it is no longer legal.

Yes, whites don't usually complain. Blacks want everything given to them. Whites generally suck it up and get on with things.

Of course there’s a law! You are not allowed to discriminate against people based on their race or gender. When Biden said that he would not consider any whites for VP, nor any men, that is a violation of Title VII.

(amazing how these hypocritical libtards are all for discriminating against people of a certain race when it’s just whites.)

This was not an employment case. Please cite the legal prohibition regarding the choice of a running mate about which you fantasize.

If it were illegal, please list the Trump fanatics who would be more than eager to file charges against the President as a result.

They have different standards and cut-points based on race. Lowest for blacks, then Latinos, then whites, then Asians. Why else would Harvard send invitations to apply, and invite blacks with as low as 1160, but Asians didn’t get a letter unless their SAT was 1300+?

And why did a black girl with s 1550 get accepted to EVERY SINGLE Ivy, and an Asian with a perfect score of 1600 get from EVERY SINGLE Ivy? If you don’t think race played a big factor, I have a bridge to sell you.

(amazing how these leftards scream for favoritism by race via programs like Affirmative Action and DEI, and then deny it exists.j

Sure it was. He gave her the job of VP. The only thing she had going for her was Female Blackness, and look at the idiot we ended up with.

I merely cite the geezer's status as adjudicated by the justice system of the United States.

The old fart is a sexual abuser, business fraud, and convicted felon facing many more criminal charges.

It will be insane and racist to look at a white homeless person and try to imagine that they have a leg up against blacks in America. Modern leftist ideology is bizarre

Well this is my second time addressing you raising the issue of white privilege. I don't recall getting a response the last time or perhaps it was simply overlooked among the other notifications in my inbox.

Nonetheless I respond to plenty of members of this site. Some of them I don't because they can't present their point of view without being insulting or vulgar or intentionally antagonistic. But often it's because more often than not, they attempt to support and defend their positions with what they believe as opposed to facts, especially historical facts.

In any case, using a white homeless person as an example is not really how to attempt to prove that white privilege does not exist. And the fact that other people have experienced the "hardships of life" in other places around the world really no bearing on race and class privilege in the United States.

No one has ever stated that being born into the white race is sufficient to shield a person from the pains and hardships of life. What I attempted to demonstrate for you is that no matter what that homeless white person you referenced in your example has experienced, he or she will never have experienced being treated with discrimination or hatred or violence for merely being a Black person in America. I realize that a lot of white people discount what Black people here in the United States relay as far as our experiences with racism and how they have caused emotional, mental, financial, and other harm to our lives. Which is unfortunate because I have no problems relating to white person who are experiencing any kind of hardship in life as well as those who are not, for several reasons. But I believe the main reason is because I am a particularly empathetic person with compassion for others and the things in life have hurt them. So much so that I have spent time working on behalf of others in a variety of situations.

If you only view things from the perspective of what you didn't get, haven't received, how you weren't been helped, etc. then yeah, lots of white people could feel like there is no such thing as white privilege because you haven't received a tangible benefit from being white from YOUR perspective. The fact that you've unaware of all that you've been spared in life by being white speaks volumes though.

Black people have to learn how to navigate the system in place in a country which is majority white. We HAVE to if we want to do the things that will bring us the best outcome for whatever it is we're pursuing for our lives but also to put into place measures of protection and strategies for AVOIDING the pitfalls and harm that can befall us should we become the target of a racist person, agency, system, etc.

These are things we have to spend time thinking about, planning and working towards - both parts, the acquiring and the avoiding, due to us being Black.

White people in America, if they REALLY don't want to be around or associate with Black people, don't have to. And they further don't have to spend much time, if any, thinking on how to make that happen.

most white and black Americans are good people. We reject the radical left-wing in this country trying to destroy traditional values.

Singapore for example, is home to one of the most successful middle classes in the world. They have an extremely diverse country with about four major ethnic groups. They’ve had a female president. She was also a Muslim. It’s a Buddhist majority country, but only slightly so. They speak Chinese and English. Point is that minorities can have success in countries around the world.


In the USA The black middle class was stronger 75 years ago, same with the white middle class.

As a 36-year-old white man, I have absolutely nothing to apologize for. I have been poor in this country. I have been given nothing by the United States government. I have been given no leg up same exact thing with a black man my age from a middle-class family who left his home like me and for a time was poor. But Rose up to success economically.



In world, history, Black people and white people were treated horrendously. All throughout the world. That is the response to your point about the suffering of black in America. Whites suffered in Africa as slaves when blacks were slaves in America. That anyone would attempt to minimize the suffering of a slave anywhere in the world is evil. …that point simply will never work. It’s obvious that pro BLM people want to control the narrative of history and it’s not gonna work.

Furthermore, it is a fact that now in 2024 major universities and corporations practice racism against white men. For example, a black with a lower SAT score gets into a university where the white man does not get into the same university even with a higher SAT score. These are irrefutable facts.

Equity is making the USA a dumber and more Dangerous place

https://www.c-span.org/event/?537666/washington-journal-08122024 Excellent discussion on cspan this morning with author Heather Macdonald on the issue of equity. She pointed out how A Black MIT Engineer pointed out that Universities have lowered the threshold for minorities when it comes to...

www.usmessageboard.com

This issue was discussed in length by a contributor from the Manhattan Institute on C-SPAN this morning. She talked about how a black engineer from MIT who is a professor has black students who have lower SAT scores compared to white students in the class. The black students struggled tremendously. This is a result of DEI, and I will be the first person to criticize if you had a situation where a college accepted a white person with a lower SAT score compared to a black person with a higher SAT score. Either you support racism or you don’t, that’s what it comes down to.



But further what BLM and radical left politicians seem to want is for white people and Black people to feel bad about themselves. To feminize society. To make people weak. And it’s a dangerous idea. And we are currently in an economic crisis where the middle-class can’t afford a home and 99% of the country. The last thing we need is race division.

It is historically inaccurate to talk only about the struggles of blacks, but not about the struggles of whites around the world. We don’t only live in America. This is a worldwide issue.
