Toxic masculinity and white privilige. What to do?

None of that negates the reality that in America White Privelege has existed and no doubt still does.

What endows a person with greater privilege, skin color or money/social class?

It seems to me that those that struggle with the guilt of their “White Privilege” are actually the beneficiaries of economic privilege and simply want to broad brush every other white person with their guilt.

Tell me, who has more privilege; the Black child of professional parents or the white child of unemployed/under employed blue collar parents?

I for one won’t feel guilt for someone else’s privilege.

A combination of all three based on “white pigmentation” being the most weighted.

First of all. I don’t believe in either. But that’s not my problem. Liberals have failed to convince me that I should concern myself with these made up conditions. So it’s a liberal problem, not mine. So for sake of argument, let’s move beyond that. What is the point of labeling someone as privileged? What am I supposed to do with this label? Walk around and feel guilty? What is the point? What do you suggest that I do with all of my privilege? Is this simply an awareness campaign? What’s the point? And what about my toxic masculinity? How toxic is it and how do I detoxify? Or am I supposed to simply feel bad for being too manly?

So in a nutshell. I have been labeled. What exactly do you want me to do with your labels?

Dr Phil had a good episode on “White Privilege”… Most of us have a misunderstanding of what it is. It’s passive, no one is at fault for it, it just is. There’s absolutely no reason to be defensive about it, just be aware of it.

Dr Phil never lived in a “Sundown Town”.

I don’t know your personal circumstance but you sound like someone who grew up middle class or better. I grew up working class and my experience has been that social class and wealth are far more important.

I disagree with that at least from a color aspect.

I’m a dark skinned biracial man who was raised by whites. In general I’ve been treated no differently than other whites in terms of employment or the way I feel that people view me. But outside of my skin tone I am stereotypically “white.” I guess you could say that I am culturally “white.” I speak with a New South accent, I listen to mostly classic rock music, and I dress like a blue collar white man.

My black cousins by comparison are culturally “black.” African American vernacular accents, wear what most in society consider to be “black” dress styles, and listen to rap music. They’ve had it harder than i have.

I would say it’s more about culture than it is about skin tone in most places today. It shouldn’t be like that, but it that’s just how it is.

Why not try?

To what end?

[WuWei]

@SaysWho

The south is still holding Republican sanctioned rallies to celebrate slavery.

Do you think a well-prepared black man could get a job under a confederate today?

What a stupid post.

Neither did you.

Great post. Why shouldn’t be that way?

Toxic masculinity is how progressive liberals describe any man who hasn’t cut off his male genitilia.

Yet you couldn’t refute it.

Most mass shooters are men who beat their wives/partners. What would you call that, if not toxic masculinity?

There is no “confederate” today. What is the black unemployment rate?

Not true at all.

Discounting a black man’s experience. How empathetic.

[CanadianJudo]

Have you ever spoken to a liberal?

[CanadianJudo]

so in your opinion there is nothing wrong how society perceives masculinity?
