This is white privilege in a nut shell:

In the 1980's, the you know what epidemic hit the minorities and especially the low socio-economic communities of African Americans. The answer to this was Reagan, Bush and Clinton saying to get harsh on crime, 3 strikes rule and to empower law enforcement agencies with incentives for busts, monetary budgets and so forth.

Today in 2018, we have the opioid epidemic which affects mostly whites. What do we do: give out aide, access to clinics, compassion.

Look at Demi Lovato v Whitney Houston.

I'm at the point where I can say as a young educated black male that I'm more afraid of those that say, "I dont see color," versus Klan and outward bigots. The reason is you know were Klan and bigots stand for at the end of the day. Those that don't see color #1 neglect differences and more importantly #2 often are those in power positions such as hiring managers, banking institutions, judges, jury members, police, medical and etc.
People like to complain just to complain. Dont live your life feeling sorry for yourself. I see alot of white people without privilege.

That's not how white privilege works. And yes, it does exist. Read through a few of these peer-reviewed academic studies (the abstract has the highlights):

Black leaders are paid less after a mistake than white leaders:

Minorities are less likely to receive painkillers for the same injuries:

Black and Asian professors judged more harshly than white professors:

The more "typical" a minority looks, the worse they are treated:

I get WHY you don't believe in white privilege. You believe that it cheapens your accomplishments. "I didn't have any help! I did it on my own!"

See: https://www.gsb.stanford.edu/insight...ial-privileges

No one is saying you or any white person doesn't have to work hard to be successful, just that it's easier. Refusing to acknowledge that racism and slavery in America affects people of color today negatively and therefore provides an advantage to white people is simply wrong. Saying "no one alive was a slave" is idiocy: the foundation of generational wealth in America is the primary home. Guess what happened when the "greatest generation" came home? White veterans got subsidized housing - black veterans did not.

See here an article about Levittown (where Bill O'Reilly grew up):
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.394c29b74d18

And here a study showing the importance of home ownership in generational wealth:

I highly encourage you to read with an open mind and with the understanding that acknowledging white privilege exists does not mean you didn't have to work hard to get to where you are.
Yeah I'm not going to do any research because I don't care enough. You can live your life being mad at the man for keeping you down. I'm not going to feel sorry for anyone and I'm not going to be mad at myself for being born White.

This will be my last post on this thread, because I honestly don't care.

Have a nice day!
