Is there really white privilege?

[Missouri_Mike]

I’ve been wondering about this since the entire white privilege thing started. Kinda looking around for it. If I had it at all it sure as hell wasn't helping me. Im still looking for it. Has anyone actually found their white privilege?

I am so privileged that we I was young, my family lived in a three room cabin up 25 miles of unpaved road in a logging camp way up in the woods.

I always wished I grew up in an underprivileged situation like that of Jaden and Willow Smith.

I remember applying for college loans. Being told my parents who didn’t even own the home were too rich for me to get one. And then she asked if I had any Hispanic or black in my heritage and that would help.

I sure felt the privilege that day.

Hitler claimed that Jews had privilege over citizens in Germany, so the anti-white myth of privilege is a redux of the same strategy.

Except I do know white people who’ve had that happen to them.

How is that white privilege?

Do a lot of blacks not wearing hoodies or with their pants down below their asses get followed through a grocery store? Please let me know because I’m pretty sure it isn’t the skin color here. Do bikers get the same free pass because they’re white? Or does that not apply?

I just had to deal with getting pulled over. Turns out we forgot to renew the plates. My truck wasn’t searched probably because it doesn’t smell like pot. Although the cop did ask what my job was after seeing all the tools in the back seat. I got the ticket BTW. Is that white privilege?

I’m just going to step out on a limb here but are they kind of shady looking people?

From 2013:

White Privilege

I remember back when I lived in Houston, I was pulled over and ticketed in the suburb of Bellaire. Google the city of Bellaire and check it out. Wiki has it as being 90+% white and Asian. Well, I wanted to fight the ticket so I went to the court which was in the evening. The court room...

Well, I wanted to fight the ticket so I went to the court which was in the evening. The court room was packed full of people there to fight their tickets as well. The racial make up should be about 90+% white and Asian if, on average, those ticketed reflect the racial make-up of the city...right?

Aside from the Judge, an attorney some Mexican lady brought with her, and another defendant, nearly every defendant in the room was black or Hispanic (very few Hispanics by the way). We're talking about 150 defendants and one of them was white, in Bellaire, where 90% of the town is white or Asian.

When I hear about White Privilege, I think it's an antiquated notion but it still exists and, to my mind, it is most prevalent here.

On the flip side of the coin, as many of you may know if you read my posts, I do credentialing for our health system. What that means is that I check to make sure current and prospective future employees have the licenses they say they have, the endorsements they claim, and generally are telling the baseline truth about their qualifications. I get "packets" from HR about each applicant or volunteer. Recently, the packets have started to include the race-based questions we have on the end of our on-line application. The part that wants you to self-identify whether you're white, black, Latino, martian or whatever.

I have purposely refused to look at this. It doesn't affect their qualifications at all (alternate languages spoke, written are covered in another part of the application). I'm not in HR but I would bet that the message down there is that they need to have our staff mirror the city of Phoenix meaning hire more Hispanics. BS...I say hire the best person for the job and have your HR staff eliminate race from consideration to the positive or the negative. If the open job has two good candidates, you flip a coin.

Have you ever gone to a McDonald's and destroyed the place because your chicken nuggets were cold? Black privilege.

Have you ever been in a park and knew you could scream racism for raping and stabbing the pretty blonde jogger? Black privilege.

"Shady" is a racist term. Yet use it unthinkingly without repercussions.

Would the office have taken the word of a black man that the tools were for legitimate uses?
