What "white privilege"?

I am white, and have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

I was actually wondering how I can have all the privileges ethnic females get via welfare, because I am a single, white, custodial father who was blatantly refused pretty much "everything" in that system.

Wanna know what the "white privilege" is? To bust your butt working so you can't even make ends meet, just to have someone on welfare getting "everything" for free that you are struggling to hold onto.

How does that answer your question? Still want the "white privilege"?

Seems the worst thing you can be these days is a white, male.



And, BTW, I am definitely not saying all non-whites are the same either. I know plenty of minorities who bust their butts everyday, just to make ends meet, and refuse any federal, state, or local aid. And they would be disgusted by your question.

Which ever ethnic background you are, just tell us, and I bet I can show you unlimited numbers of links where you can get federal, state, and local aid and grants that white males are not eligible for at all. which is pretty much all of them

Honey I've always had to bust my a** for peanuts and I'm not black. My father killed himself at a young age (53) and on and on and on. You call that privilege? My husband is crippled up by working too hard and had to early retire and we are almost to the point of loosing it all. You call that privileged? We can't get help or medical because we are white. You call that privilege?

Only whites can get it, or you could eat the heart of a white man

Only white men have it.



And to those people who act like black people have all the rights...



...White women are on affirmative action and there are more white people on welfare than ANY OTHER group.



White privilege means that you can go anywhere and your skin color gets you better treatment, into better schools, into better housing, better jobs, promotions, etc.



Just because the white elite doesn't like you, doesn't mean you aren't privileged. They still like you better than the other minority groups. They just place you lower than themselves.



Just because you don't know how to cash in to your "inheritance," doesn't mean you aren't privileged. It just means you aren't as good at working the system as John McCain (Father's friend pulled strings to get him into a top military school after he was the class clown and was failing) and George Bush (his "C-" average didn't get him kicked out of Yale or get a warning letter sent home while others are kicked out of regular colleges if they breathe wrong).



And yet these two clowns got to be president or near the presidency. Obama and Michelle had to work past the racism in their community PLUS the other problems that poor white men and white women in general might face in society. And even as a presidential candidate, Obama had to struggle even though McCain didn't have a platform and chose an inexperienced white lady. Notice that everyone was voting for her because they think she looks good in a bathing suit and those older men have librarian fantasies.



You guys break a fingernail or fail a quiz and you hang yourselves! Please, don't compare yourselves to us.



White women have a lot of struggles, I'll admit. But you guys are still on a pedestal...even though you're chained to it. We are treated like trash...that's the difference.



As for white men, the only problem they might have is poverty or how much beer they can drink without getting a beer belly.



And even then, they can get the American dream by working hard. Everyone else will only get the crumbs from their table. The ideal American president is a tall, white man. Everyone trusts him. Pat Sajak puts his hands around women and so does the host of Family Feud and neither is tackled or accused of fondling her...even if her husband is in the audience. Arnold Schwarzneggar fondled women and became governor. McCain abandoned his wife and became a senator. White men rape more women than other races, and yet it's the other races that get the stigma. White men cheat on their wives and yet everyone calls them "good hard-working men"...although a lot live on welfare or in trailer parks. White men hijack planes more than anyone else...and yet it is Arabs that are taken off planes and black women who are strip-searched in airline rooms more than any other group.



White men and women steal from stores and the stores apologize to them (Winona Ryder) and they follow the black person. White boys shoot up schools and the black schools get metal detectors. White girls snort cocaine and the black men are thrown in jail. White men shoot their friends and their friend apologizes (Cheney). Black women shoot their friend and they end up in prison (Remy Ma--rapper).



THAT is white privilege.

Sorry JUNIOR, but unless you were born with at least 50% white in your genes, you CAN'T get access to our exculsive rights.
