[Debate] White Privilege

[CrazyTheorist]

My theories are too crazy for this forum... white privilege is a real thing though. I will say that. But I think it's a tool of manipulation. I wish it weren't real. Racism is the saddest thing on the planet. If it didn't exist, there wouldn't have been so many problems. And many of my ancestors wouldn't have needed to be burned up in the holocaust...

Racism is hardly new. Group thinking is the cause of racism. It's not black vs white, it's us vs them to the subconscious. This psychological weakness has been exploited throughout the years. The only real way to get rid of it is to reach a point where you see a person and don't automatically think of their race. And these news reports that blow up and distort racial conflicts only makes people more conscious of race. Does racism in cops and businesses need to be dealt with? Yes. But starting a huge controversy every single time there is even a possibility of racial profiling makes the problem worse.

I disagree about white privilege, though. There isn't a conscious effort to let whites off easy in society because the middle class lacks tbat kind of influence and the upper class would not profit by it. Is there subconscious suspicion of minorites and the occasional racist? Sure. But there isn't some huge conspiracy to keep black people down or as second class citizens.

Can we agree that his bowl cut was trash?

Yes we can.

This is another way of saying that Chess is a racist game, because "White" always makes the first move.

No, it doesn't exist.

Maybe Black Privilege, on some universities Black people get more points on their diploma so that they get accepted.
An Asian had 700 points, but Asians get around 100 points deducted so they didn't accept him.

Also on universities, if you're Black you already have a higher change to get accepted, it doesn't matter if someone's better/worse than you, no only your skin colour matters.

+ you all are watching the news in which they portray the police as racist. If someone gets killed by the police (whether it's justified or not), the media only shows the dead of Blacks.
It doesn't matter if a White person gets killed.

So if you think White Privelege exist, than you should also think that Black Privilege exists.

Well black folks have a dominate presents an that puts fear in alot of people who react with violence against us. They're afraid of that dominate trait which is why we are treated the way we are treated damn near everywhere we go. It's not our fault our own people sold us to the white man for shinny object to be their slaves.

So if white folks want someone to blame they should blame their ancestors for bringing us here to do their bidding for them.

This shit is the honestly the reason this generation is retarded.....If you go calmly you'll be fine, if you ***** and moan, and react and try to touch the officers then you're going to be roughly arrested .-.

White guy said "Its fine arrest me"

Every single example that is used in this case is always making a big scene.

Honestly people just look for the dumbest things to play the racism and COPS ARE AWFUL Card and its annoying

I cringe every time I hear "White privilege." It screams of SJWs and insecure minorities that have experienced racism, and chalk it up to an entire national system out to get them and pretending white people have some magical cheat code that gets them everything they want. If I get anything, it's going to be because I'll be working hard, and not because I was born with a skin color. "White privilege" is just the way all should be treated, and the incidents where it doesn't happen is merely an incidence of racism, not systematic racism. If racism was dominant on a national level, we wouldn't have a black president, the most iconic office, now would we? To me, if you talk about "White Privilege" and "Patriarchy" you might as well be talking about the Illuminati.

Now the rant's out of the way, this "evidence" is a non sequitur. Important details are left out. Is this the same cop or the same area? Is this the policy, or an individual choice? It could simply be that this cop is more gentle in general in comparison to the other one.

Oh yeah, and this shows that whoever made the OP's post was horribly dishonest and was trying to get attention.

More than anything USA's (or possibly other countries') problem is sensationalism in these social justice cases. You have what media portrayed, who reacted to what, what people said, which group of people did what etc. flooding around but core and main point of problems seem to pass by. 9 people died yet what everyone doing is trying to fill their agenda. Just another numbers for debate statistics. Maybe news matter more than being news? Maybe they are occasions which deeply effected people's lives, not just your references for arguements?

Its pretty shitty being a minority in the home of the free

It's just black people in America. Other minorities seem fine. Ivy league colleges have to limit Asian applicants because there are so many, and you never hear "driving while Latino." There's too much bad blood and irreparable damage between American white and blacks.

OT: Police tend to bring an asswhoopin if you:
1. Killed an officer
2. Attacked an officer
3. Resisted arrest
4. Made a cop look stupid
5. Made a cop run

I am surprised they didn't shoot him though. He must have given up peacefully. In most of those cases the police would shoot the white guys too, but they tend to commit suicide first (i.e., Colombine, Sandy Hook shootings). I don't know how they treated the shooter in the 2012 Aurora shooting before he was placed in custody.

White privilege is true in America because they are the ruling demographic right now. In 50 years it will be probably Latino privilege and white and black people will be getting manhandled by Latino officers. The ruling class will always have the power and privilege, and it changes over time.

Like Jon Stewart said this was a terrorist attack. He's right in saying that American's can't shrug it off as just an isolated mentally ill person attacking innocent people. I don't agree that it is a symptom of streets named after confederate generals and flag over court rooms for one reason: your average bigot moron isn't a murderer. Crimes this heinous are symptomatic of something far worse than Southern states clinging to their pride. This is world wide. There is a sickness of hatred and fear overcoming the world. There is a decline in spirituality in our world (I'm not just talking religion, I mean actual spirituality. Religion without spirituality just leads to similar chaos and destruction). It's a sad, scary time to live in.

Wish my white privilege could get me some of those sweet Whites-only scholarships that don't exist.

I wish my white privilege would let me get that job over the less qualified minorities.

You do realize it works the other way too right? Some business and government jobs give minorities favorable treatment. I knew a man who tried to apply for a position in the military. After interviewing the recruiter, he was basically told he was the an ideal candidate (he had martial arts training and spoke the language of a region we were fighting in) then the recruiter told him that he couldn't hire him because he was supposed to hire minorities and that even if he did get a job, his career would be a dead end because they would never promote him because he was white.

There are plenty of other accounts of recruiters being told to only hire minorities for their diversity ratios.

Point is, race-selective hiring goes both ways.

I think you miss the point of my post.

This is actually very racist as they gave the black guy a white vest instead of a black one.

I counter with his hands are in front while the white guy's hands are behind him.
