Do you believe in privilege? White privilege, etc?

[oral.com]

Being white and attractive is a privilege that makes life easier in day to day interactions.

The big picture will always be the “content of your character” as MLK said. Once people know you, skin colour, gender and race are unimportant.

 

[Toke]

how do you trade places? Same jobs or same status or how exactly you figure? Here is a theory: If you make $100k as a white guy and trade to make $100K as a black guy your social status would go WAY up. A black doctor will have ten beautiful women of his race to choose from while a white doctor would have less white women to choose from because there's too many white successful men already and a white guy who does okay is not a big deal. So maybe racialized men are in even better position than whites as long as they work hard?

Your 'example' of privilege only covers getting women?

Here's something someone once said to me about white privilege:
'The best part of white privilege is never having to actually know or acknowledge that privilege'.

Of course. This is an escort review board. Someone has to only care about wet dicks.

Every white guy here saying there is no privilege would never admit they are glad they were born white over black but we all know the truth.

Thankfully the poll shows that most people get it. It is not just about race privilege but all types. Gender, sex orientation, economic, geographic, etc

There is also something called "pretty privilege".
Skinny girls who are pretty tend to get favourable treatment over girls who are fat and ugly

‘Pretty privilege’: attractive people considered more trustworthy, research confirms

When presented with ID photos, those rated as more attractive were also deemed to be more trustworthy. Benefitting from good looks oneself doesn’t protect against being fooled.

Anywho, It's my opinion that any nationality can be successful in life, so long as you work hard and you stay positive.

And also stop blaming other people for your failures

And, playing the perpetual victim/woe is me card will assuredly lead to an unsatisfactory life.

Stating privilege is so pointless. What does it achieve? All it does is give people something to moan about and point the finger at a certain group of people. Oooooh You’re prettier than me…..you have more money…. It’s all kindergarten shit.

Why are you quoting me? I did put “etc” in statement.

Love how you can admit to pretty privilege but not white privilege. LMAO.

I needed a good laugh this morning Philly. Thanks for that.

I was born a white male in arguably the best country going, Canada. I`m retired for 8 years now. I worked a physically demanding job(s) for 45 years straight including at least a decade of 2 to 3 jobs at once, as finances dictated. I never once was unemployed and never took a dime from the government in assistance. Hard work provided me a good life and an abundant retirement,...white privilege? I`ll call it hard work and planning.

Except you don’t realize that you may have been given that job 45 years ago because you are white. Giving you the opportunity to work hard.

I’m young. Semi-retired by choice. I would get bored otherwise. Owned my own business since my 20s. Worked hard all my life. I started as a homeless teen. I can admit I most likely would not have been given the opportunities to better my situation at that young age if not for the fact that I was white.

But you believe what you want. Others will believe differently and the majority clearly do.

BTW - your hard work doesn’t get diminished because of white privilege. You are not required to feel guilty about it. Nothing like that. It is just recognizing it and trying to ensure you don’t fall victim to your own bias when giving opportunity to others going forward.

Your failure to read posts properly shows again.
I did admit it exists: https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/do-you-believe-in-privilege-white-privilege-etc.755095/post-7166961

I also said that other races can be successful in spite of this

You make one comment in one post and then 20+ other posts with examples and claims that differ, so what is one to think?

It is clear from your post that you don’t truly believe in it. That is what most of your posts read like. Want people to believe your one statement, then prove it with the rest of them.

Bottomline - I don’t believe your one post. More likely you made that one comment so when someone calls you out, you have a fallback. Like having that one black friend. LOL.

It's mostly class privilege

Its called having a flexible mind, and the ability to look at both sides of the issue

Thats your opinion and you're entitled to it

I dont have to prove anything to anyone

That might be your strategy, but its not mine.

Don`t know `bout that. When I began working P/T in 1971 it was a vastly different Canada. My high school , about 900 kids, had one Asian guy and one Indian guy who became my best friend as we had a huge mutual interest in motorcycles. We were great friends until he very sadly died scuba diving in `74, I`ll always miss him. Everything has changed in so many ways, I know several white guys, 20 to 40 y.o. who have no interest in working, there are many, many more out there. Hard work and determination will still pay off well for anyone. I had a surgical procedure performed Tuesday, the surgeon was Chinese, the anesthesiologist a Muslim guy, crazy sense of humor, and the two nurses were one white and one brown woman. Hard work paid off for them.

It’s called playing both sides. You are not a devils advocate. Far from it.

And I didn’t say you have to prove anything. I said if you want people to believe a certain thing then you have to prove it to them. That is just how it goes. If you don’t want them to, then don’t.

Lastly - you don’t say what you mean. You are proven troll who will say nonsense to get a rise out of people. Stop playing

Anyways / I’m not going back and forth with you this morning. I just restarted Stargate SG1 and that is much more entertaining. You can have the last word for now.

You're a thief. You have no moral character. You suck as a person.
Now - I don't believe that about you. I truly dont. But I'm only making a point - how did that make you feel when i told those lies? What i'm trying to do is give you a sense of what its like when these incidents happen, and the fact you can't hide from it. Imagine someone actually accusing you of the lies I told about you above. Imagine that's the look and behaviour you get. Often. What does that do over time? It's not inconvenient. It's maddening. Total strangers making snap judgments despite your stellar character and leading a decent honest life. As Henry Aaron says, every day you go out in public something happens that reminds you that you're black.

Yes, there are minorities who make ludicrous claims like "racism has never been this bad". (Are you kidding me? Lynchings? No right to vote? Redlining? Jeez how ignorant. And there are those who see everything as a race issue, when its not. Unfortunately they usually have the biggest megaphones). But despite that, I come down that it is still a bigger problem on one side.

Come on... Henry Aaron probably said that in the 1960's, it's 2024.

Take a look at the demographics of Toronto. Whites are no longer majority. If there were actual racism going on by whites, it would be all over the evening news.
