Are You SORRY You're WHITE?

No.

I just read many of this thread's posts for the first time. There's a lot I disagree with, but I strongly disagree with this as an example of white privilege, respectfully. I'm wondering if you could guess why.

TBH I'm really not interested in reviving this topic. If you want to say why you think it's not go ahead.

I'm just letting you know instead of not replying, not ignoring you, appreciate the discussion, I just don't think this topic has been worthwhile so I'd just as well let it fade.

Completely understandable, and your grace is very much appreciated. That alone makes me respect your feelings on the matter.

You stated you grew up in a white and conservative area, and I would assume the school you went to reflected that. You were not bullied but the kids of color, who were in the minority, were. I would call this majority privilege rather than white privilege. If circumstances forced you to move and switch schools, and attend a mostly black school, you would suddenly be in the minority and most certainly be the target of bullying. If on the other hand, you attended a predominantly black school, and were somehow exempt from being victimized because you were white, I think we could have a conversation about white privilege. I think if people are going to make a case for the generalization of white privilege, it needs to go across the board. If it's all due to circumstance, it becomes circumstantial privilege.

I assure you most people leaving a facepalm very much understand the conversation. It's just that it is a very appropriately succinct response at times.

So you realize you left a facepalm because I didn't know someone who was brought up by an intoxicated person, and that someone had zero to do with the conversation?

It's not about who Jim Crow the character was it's about what Jim Crow laws were. The fact that you still don't know about it or are referring to a character rather than a set of laws is telling. It doesn't matter if the person who brought it up was intoxicated or not. What matters is that you went on a multi page diatribe about race and white privilege and then got exposed as not knowing what Jim Crow laws were.

If you still don't see how Jim Crow laws have anything to do with race relations and white privilege in the US, then I feel I'm really wasting my time here.

P.S Correction to your post. I left 7 facepalms.

THAT INTOXICATED PERSON WASN'T ME, so you should disregard everything they said.

I'm legit the only trustworthy drunk person on MoFo! *angelface*

The Jim Crow laws have nothing to do with me or my views. If you disagree with something I said in the thread, then try to give a thoughtful counterargument. Don't come in like a hit and run coward looking to insult.

HE LOOKS SO WEARY WHEN HE SAYS THAT...

This discussion reminds me of this ridiculous video:

I'm not saying you are for or against the Jim Crow laws. That was not my point.
I just don't see how you can think that Jim Crow laws had no effect on the whole argument. The only thing more ridiculous would be if you said slavery has nothing to do with it.

I would have gladly engaged in a debate but not after you went on for pages on end with some inflammatory statements. It's not exactly showing openness to discussion.

I still find it open ended...

It didn't happen that way, but in your defense there were posts that were removed (not mine). I don't feel like looking through the whole thread again, but the way in which it was brought up, it was completely irrelevant. It was as if I would be in support of that way of thinking.

I don't believe I made any inflammatory statements that weren't true. I would have no issue if you could correct me on that.

Didn't find the link funny. It tried WAY TOO HARD.

Indeed. The biggest "advantaged" group are the Indians by household income:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...usehold_income

With median income more than twice of the whites: 126,906 dollars versus 61,349 dollars.

There is no such thing as a "white privilege" but there is prejudice against non-whites or foreigners in general. This prejudice doesn't mean that their incomes will be smaller since in the labor market companies don't care if their employees are pink as long as they are productive for the company.

I think prejudice is more cultural than economic, there is plenty of prejudice against Asians and Indians for instance (as these groups are often stereotyped), but their group on average makes more than the average.

That was amazing!

Funny how comedy works...

lol what a cuck. let's all laugh at the cuck! HAHAHAHAHA, what a cuck you are Iro.
