Countless. I’m in between two west coast tourist meccas and the fishing capital of the world as some like to say. Golf is beyond huge too, they flock here.

Yeah. I’m not sure why acknowledging the obvious is so difficult for some people. Guilt?
Boils down to basically 2 things.
If white privilege exists, if one is white, they must be a racist. Not true.
If white privilege exists, if one is white, and they worked hard to build a life, it was only due to the being white, and takes away from their accomplishments. Also, not true.
Yes…first thought that popped into my head…who’s society?
Does that include blacks need to join his society…if they want to “make it” in America?
Interesting choice of word he used there.
None of these libs have a clue what “society” even is.
Just ask them, and they’ll repeat the TV verbatim.

You may think a rich kid’s life is all rainbows and privilege with nothing to complain about, but that’s coming from the outside looking in.
What they choose to do with there privilege is none of my concern, unless it negatively affects me. However there is no denying that the more money you have… the more privilege you have.
Sorry, you don’t get to just decide who has privilege and who doesn’t, especially when you’re labeling an entire race from an outside perspective.
Yes he does.

How would White people feel if the entire Police Department in your city, was black? Would it feel comfortable? This is the black experience today.
Why is that? Why isn’t there more blacks on the force?
The racist “white privilege” argument is full of holes that can’t be defended.
Quick, get the sidekicks!

but no matter how poor the white person was… the system of government favored them with nicer bathrooms, water fountains, libraries etc.
I used both in Texas. One wasn’t nicer. Bigger yes. Not nicer. 13% used one. 87% the other. Bigger.
Library I will cede. No personal experience.

Or culture.
Define wealth?
Me personally, wealth is nothing but currency to be exchanged. Riches come from life.
ETA: nvm, you weren’t talking to me.

Sure. Quotas, weighting college entrance.
What’s the black privilege there?
The weighting of the system to favor one group over another based on race. It’s not even benefit of the doubt.

What are the downsides of being white in America?
Two equally qualified candidates for an open position at a college/university/business. Both have the same schoolling, both have a stellar record of acheivement. One is a black candidate, one a white candidate. In the schoo/business hiring process the black is given a + mark for their race and that tips the scale to their hiring.
I’d consider that a downside that race is considered a +/- in some hiring practices.

Why is that? Why isn’t there more blacks on the force?
Many reasons.
But even if we were at 13% of every law enforcement group… we would still be a minority. There is privilege with having 87% of the police force look like you.
Speaking of the black population in this country, how come there aren’t more by now? Are they really only 13% of the total population still?

Ok. So what? Are you saying they didn’t understand that there were black people around? They created a system of government and didn’t understand black people were around?
What? Did they forget women were around? Poor white men? That doesn’t make any sense.

Omg
.
Whew. I have to deal with words.
You lose.

Do you have any actual examples of this happening?

None of that negatively impacts white people. The system is still stacked in your favor.
The pure existence of “quotas” is due to that privilege.

Is there an influx of black people that I am not aware of that would change that percentage?
