White privilege isn't just "Yeah I'm white I'ma be rich." Perhaps the best example of WP right now is that statistically, whites don't have to worry about being harassed and straight up murdered by police on the basis of their race.

White privilege is being called "stylish" and "fashionable" when you adopt features of clothing that black people are mocked for.

White privilege is not having to worry about not getting that job you just interviewed for because of your skin.

White privilege is when you shoot up a school, the media floods images of you at graduation and at work and at church, and you were "That good kid who was troubled oh I can't believe he'd do this," and having anecdotes about how great a person you were, but when a POC is unjustly murdered or commits the same crime, the media is flooded with "thug photos," and black crime stats are suddenly brought back up and you're called a terrorist.

White privilege is when people protest the unjust killing of black people, they're called "thugs" and shown on the news in an extremely negative light, but when white people riot and destroy property over football games, the news glosses over it.

One could anecdotally argue the same victimhood worldview in reverse.

Here in England for over a decade mostly Muslims gangs have been sexually exploiting White children and young teenagers. The local authorities were reluctant to do anything about it because they didn't want to provoke 'racism' or be perceived as 'racist.'

Yet not too long ago, a Scotsman was arrested for 'hate speech' he published on online social media on the Muslim economic migrants - oh sorry, I mean refugees.

People like to see what they want to see, Riker.

So if you can point me to some evidence-based literature on 'White privilege,' I would appreciate it. I want data, by the way - not the sociology mumbo jumbo that I always find on that issue.

In your post, the only thing that comes close is supposed police brutality.

First, that Blacks are significantly over-represented in crime is a fact whether you like it or not (this is confirmed year after year by victimization statistics collected by your relevant authorities going around asking victims the race of their perpetrators). And not only are Blacks over-represented most in serious violent crime, they commit a disproportionate amount of inter-racial crime compared to Whites.

There is probably some truth to the assertion that Blacks are more often victims of police brutality, especially when police happen to be White (I am not aware of any official data on police brutality but I will give you this). But it does not follow that there is grand institutional discrimination against Blacks.

Further, there is an element of subjectivity in the emphasis on police brutality. We could say that the fact that much, much more White women are raped by Blacks than the reverse year after year represents a far more unjust state of affairs than one or two innocent Blacks killed by police brutality every now and then (with the consequence of this often being civil unrest on the part of American blacks).

Again, people want to see what they want to see in this world. Which is why voluntary separation might be the only permanent solution to all of this, but that is another story.

You don't want to understand me, right?
I just told you that it's up to you how you interpret things. Can you comprehend what you're reading? I guess not, every post you made speaks for itself.

I know what you mean, but can you for one second stop being just centred of one side and think a little bit? Can you?

-He said "do they have White privelege?"

You could compare it with other races in gerneral, but no, she had to say that Blacks have it even worse which was not the topic.
It's about Whites, not about Blacks having it even worse.
She wanted to turn it into a race war. You feel me?

Every time someone says something about Whites, you guys have to say "but Blacks have it even worse". It's not the topic, I'm sorry to break it to you but not everythings about Blacks.

Did that work for you?




It doesn't exist so?




They don't wanna hear it.^^ You can tell by his answer.
They only see what the media tells them, they talk about White privilege then it has to be real. No matter how many facts you bring that it doesn't exist.

Do you admit that the question itself in OP was about race wars because it mentioned white privilege(something that considers all races) or not? I don't care whether white privilege exists or whether tats make a difference. That's not what I *am trying to explain you.

Edit: well *was actually ,I am not wasting any more of my time.
