I truly feel sorry for you. To carry the burdens of being you.





So black people sold other black people to black people, and I as a semi white person several hundred years later should carry that burden. **** you.


I admit black people were probably treated like shit. No where near as bad as the Jews then and still today, and yet they don't burn down the neighborhood when they get killed after robbing a liquor store and attacking a cop.


We have a black president. While he is by and far the worst one we have ever had ( not because he is black, by the way) to say black people cannot succeed because of color is a falsehood. The President of the United States. It don't get any more privileged than that.


It really comes down to upbringing. If you are raised a shitbag, with all the money in the world, you are still a shitbag, black, white or green. To keep using a person color as a crutch is tiring.

How come nobody ever mentions Obamas white half, he is as much that as black? I guess he gets the privilege from his moms side?

To think that this guy can sum up the black experience and say what they should do is ignorant self righteous bs."

The bleeding heart liberal bullshit is funny. This statement is what put you ahead in life, nothing more. More or less melanin your skin would not change this.



By your logic, a lion that hunts and kills is privileged because it gets to eat. No accounting for the fact it hunted down and killed what it wanted. And all the other lions that did nothing should share in the kill just because.

And I think it's funny that you guys can't see (or admit) that we (yes, me too) enjoy certain privileges because of who we are: race, gender, country of birth, etc...

I went to school with black kids that got better grades than me and now have better jobs than me, so your right I can't see it. I also don't give them shit because of it, they EARNED it.

Is saying that a white person (or male, straight, born into wealth, born into a 2 parent household, etc) enjoys certain benefit's in America racist?

Does anyone think it'd be better to be born black over white in America?

Their are certainly more benefits for minorities these days...

All this white privilege talk is just as racist as everything everyone was bitching to the OP about.

I assume you mean certainly more benefits for minorities in America than in the past.

Why do you think that is?
Do you think it's an even playing field?
Do you think minorities have an everyday advantage over white's in America because of these benefits?

How's that?
Am I sexist because I said I enjoy certain privileges because I was born male?

I understand these are very uncomfortable topics... but they should be talked about. Bridge the gap.
