Although I liked the cartoon, it was disingenuous in some parts...
For instance, we have had affirmative action in professional careers and education since the late sixties.
The Minority Business Development Agency was started during the Nixon administration.
If it hadn't been for pushing home loans on minorities that couldn't afford it, the housing catastrophe of 2008 might not have happened. Fannie was set up so European immigrants could get homes in the 1920's, (we saw how that went down.) Freddie was set up so minorities after the civil rights movement could afford homes. Both regardless of whether these folks actually could afford them, or defaulted, the fat cats on Wall Street would profit. Little people are brainwashed and pitted against each other.
Unfortunately, these toxic assets (MBS) are still sitting on the balance sheet at the FED, waiting to destroy the world economy when the time is right.
I hope you are happy with your affirmative action.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that how they've kept their power over us as a country in every community..i mean that's how they secured the majority of the black population.. But looking at the country as a whole they've (The fat cats) managed to put their thumbs on just about everyone..they control the economy completely. I work 50 hours a week at a full time job above minimum wage and still don't make enough to live comfortably.. is it possible to achieve this in this the land of the free...i mean yeah but not without signing over half my life to debt to learn the trade skill that's gonna be relevant to my generation (I'm sure several career paths will be obsolete within the next 10 years or so) Sorry for going 100% off topic but def want your opinion/correction on this. You seem well educated in the area..[emoji1][/QUOTE]
You're rambling a bit.
I'm not sure what you are asking in regards to "white privilege."
From my perspective, your problems are the same problems that any minority has. What we have now, is a culture that has been made into a "victim" culture, where it has been made okay to blame everyone, and everything, but oneself for their problems.
If you are minority, you blame institutional racism. If you are white, you blame affirmative action. If you are this, you blame that. If you are that, you blame this.
Life has always been hard, and everyone has their burdens. The first place we should always look, is in the mirror.
Sometimes, I realize, that is hard to do if you can't even afford a mirror.
Keep searching, keep learning. Don't accept what the schools teach, or what the media tells you. All of them, every person you meet, and everything you are told, has an agenda.
It's not often we have someone that is from Gen Z, Post-Millennials, the iGeneration, Plurals or the Homeland Generation join us. That last was Pumpkin, and she has not been around as of late. You're sort of on the cusp between the millennial and the next. According the press, you're more millennial than Z, but we'll see. Do your self a favor, don't be identified with them. Being a victim looking for a participation trophy isn't cool.
