I do not believe that white are put ahead because society puts us their anymore. Do white folks have a leg up? In some cases. This cases are becoming less and less. We were born in the same century when police gave KKK armed escorts! Is it perfect today? Far from it. It's much better than it was. And maybe too slowly we are still getting better. It may seem as if implicit hasn't declined any, but it has. Social media, media in general, for that matter show the most awefull examples. Can you imagine how bad it was prior to a camera being on every cell phone? The 90s were horrible!It is way better. Trump supporters for the most part are white racists. They look at white non Trump supporters as traitors. They wont be along much longer and neither will Trump. Trumps cowardly base hides in the shadows because they know the party will be over soon and they will still need to survive. Scardy cats
If three men, today, go into a restaurant, who ever came in first will likely get served first. If a white guy applies for the same job as a black man, if they were equally qualified, if they white got the job, he just had a better interview or vice versa unless the employer has a bias. Yes, there are still plenty of people in positions that are racist. So yes, whites do have a leg up in those cases. Implicit bias definitely exists in people. However, I simply do not believe it's as bad as most make it out to be. And again, it is always getting better. Originally Posted by grean
