Are there any examples of "white privilege" that still exist?

Well it seems a lot of the time white privilege seems to be pointed at to prove racism. Here's a video take it for what you think it's worth.

On a personal note I feel like the word racism is the same as the word divide. It's just being used cause division instead of trying to work for a solution it just puts blame on one group over another.

What else can you call the opposite of non-white disadvantage?

Black disadvantage. Just like i said. Webster's defines privilege as "a right or immunity granted as a peculiar benefit, advantage, or favor." Nobody's granted me crap, and if they did, it would be based on my socioeconomic status rather than my skin color. So... Maybe I'm just not white? My skin is fairly brown all year long, and i live in Midwest flyover country.

I don't see what you're not getting. Immunity from racial discrimination is your advantage.

It doesn't mean you've got a privileged life. If the Left thought all whites were privileged, we wouldn't campaign for LGBT rights, feminism or for labor unions.

As a white, blonde female runner, I would argue young white women have been attacked/harassed/abducted more than our young black female peers. I would have to look at the data but I’m guessing it will back this up.

for a white, blonde woman you sure do write like a white male

1. That you put that much emphazises on the fact that you walked for 10min, is hilarous, typical americans can't walk anywhere. I guess that's why america is so fat.

2. The whole thing is speculative and you can't prove it would be different for a black man.

Ups, was quoting this one

The battery in one of our cars died a few weeks ago. My wife and I were both working from home, so we just lit it sit and used the other car. My wife took the car for the day and left me at home with no car. I mowed the lawn and did a bunch of work in our vegetable garden. I was wearing torn up jean, old sneakers and a race shirt from over ten years ago. I was covered in dirt from pulling weeds and planting new veggies for the summer. I needed a new watering wand and decided to just walk to the garden store (it is about a 10 min walk from my house). No one gave me a second look. If I was black and was similarly outfitted and dirty, a half dozen people would have called the cops, taken pictures of me and posted to nextdoor. I see it all the time""

For every 1 black jogger who gets asked of he belongs where he is running, there are 100 whites getting attacked, raped,, or killed. Black privilege exists. Blacks run through my neighborhood on a bike path. I no longer run more than 2 miles in one direction because last year I ran it through a black neighborhood and a car pulled up with 2 black guys in it who shot me with a bb gun.

Let's keep this thread civil, no insults.

The world has been forced into a European centred and based network, paradigm and framework for at least the last half millenia. This unjust "privilege" will not be undone properly for a number of generations. Half a millenia of history is not mumbo jumbo. It happened. History is as real as it gets.

That is illogical because it also proves that blacks have privilege.

Then you don't understand logic and the meaning of privilege.

Was watching the news and saw the video of a white woman pulling a gun out towards a black family. But on further examination, the full video paints a totally different picture. Seems like the black family is purposely looking to instigate the next "Karen" episode.

Which is safer, black people running in white neighborhoods, or white people running in black neighborhoods?

So whose life was being threatened? The person holding the gun or the one with the gun pointed at her? The police have charged those with the guns.

You might have asked Ahmaud Arbery that question. But he got killed by three white men.

You "see" it "all the time"?

I haven't read any repsonse here but I'll try.......nay, I'll give you one example.

Two people ran for president in your country.

One man was black, the other white. They ran against each other.

The Black man was said not to have been born in the US despite the fact that he had. HE WAS ASKED FOR HIS BIRTH CERTIFICATE!

That is racism.

The other man, ALTHOUGH HE WASN'T BORN IN THE UNITED STATES (I know, the ship was American) was never asked to provide it. He was white.

If we were to reverse the two scenarios, the black man would still have been asked to provide it because this time, his accusers would have said that he wasn't born in the country and he wasn't.

One may deny it but that is a fact.

It's not a totally different picture. The woman pulls a gun where it's totally unnecessary and an overreaction.

All these people drawing guns are just trying to demonstrate that they're in charge.

First of all, that isn't racist, that is making sure you have the requirements of running for president, freaking hell. And for SURE, both had to prove they were citizens you idiot.

Second of all, what is highly suspicious, is that said half black president, didn't actually present his birth certificate, EVER. Still haven't seen the real one, and the one they showed, was not the actual one.

And it was showed YEARS later. After he was president. So please tell me, who was getting the benefit of the doubt there....cause I know Obama never got any help from the press ever.

Soooo Racist I know!
