The Fallacy of White Privilege
(11-11-2016, 12:52 PM)PhilHos Wrote: Oh yeah, we get special privileges. Like being openly proud of our race without being called a racist.

Where did you get this claim?  From Stormfront?  Because I don't know of anyone other than a white supremacists wants to glorify the Confederacy who would make such a claim.  Every year millions of white people all across america have festivals to celebrate their heritage and white European ancestors without ever being called racist.

This is probably the saddest attempt I have ever seen by a white guy to try and play his "white race" victim card.

Colleges claim that a racially diverse student population leads to a more complete educational experience for ALL students.  To accomplish this they guarantee that there are BOTH white and black students and white students benefit from from the diversity.  Currently whites still comprise a large majority of college admissions equal to their representation in the general population.

Where exactly can a person get a job based "simply on the color of his skin"?  Nowhere.  This is another lie perpetuated by white supremacists.

What type of people cry about not being able to call black people niggers?   That's right, white supremacists.
Plus, black people who use racial slurs against other races are also subject to "negative consequences".  What makes you think that they are not?  All of us white people benefit from the lack of racial profiling against white people by law enforcement.

Wrong.  You are not allowed to just make up your own definitions.  There are clearly privileges out there available to all white people.

  I'll let either you or Beaker explain how I am damaging black people by stating the truth.  I have never said that minorities can not advance in our society.  i have put no limits on what they can do.  I have not said that their abilities are not equal to white people.  all i have said is that white people have a privilege that they do not enjoy.  So how exactly does that "push them down and keep them from achieving anything their heart desires.
This is just another false argument straight from the white supremacists handbook with no logic or facts to back it up.
