In the year 2015, what is "White privilege?" This term is used by liberals to justify the concept of White guilt. Really? 2015?

Do you live in a home with a mother and a father? Does dad work? Do you know who your siblings are? Does your family avoid using drugs or getting drunk? Have you never been in a prison either as an inmate or a visitor?

You are privileged. You can expect to graduate high school and go on to college. Graduate college, marry and raise your own family as a consequence of that privilege.

And still not get to the point you could expect if you had done all those things while being white.

White privilege is being able to use your given name and expect a call back for a job interview.

Employers Replies to Racial Names

"A job applicant with a name that sounds like it might belong to an African-American - say, Lakisha Washington or Jamal Jones - can find it harder to get a job. Despite laws against discrimination, affirmative action, a degree of employer enlightenment, and the desire by some businesses to enhance profits by hiring those most qualified regardless of race, African-Americans are twice as likely as whites to be unemployed and they earn nearly 25 percent less when they are employed."

You see the name like Lakisha or Jamal and you think you're reading a police report or about some little kid shot in Chicago.

White Privilege is a dog whistle for aggrieved losers to try to silence people who don't agree with them.

White privilege is not behaving like an obnoxious ghetto rat at a job interview or in the professional work setting.

It is a racist eugenics argument. What do you think whites had to do to to make sure they controlled all the resources?

Nothing about math or science is western. Its all based on the foundation learned from Africa and then relearned from the Moors. You wouldnt be able to count using the 10base numbering systerm
