I made a post about this a long time ago... in 2017 on the old yahoo answer messaging board. despite whatever answer you thought i gave the covenant great answer award thingy to will shock you! but that's neither here nor there. what i will like to go over is white privilege.

 

 

Don't worry. i won't be using the lefts definition of white privilege. where every white person has an innate advantage over a non-white person. but instead i will use the general idea of a white person receiving an advantage for being white. what i want to know is what many of you guys think about it.

 

Now i know the usual suspects. i can see the troll comments rolling in, calling me a nigger. or 80% of the comments saying white privilege doesn't exist. and the other 20% saying it does exist but white people deserve it in their own country. but me raising this question is for 2 reasons. ya know, just to keep it simple. if you think white privilege doesn't exist. tell me why you don't think so, while also believing non-whites have an inherent advantage over whites. 2nd if you do believe in white privilege, and think it's ok for white people to have an advantage over non-whites. then how do you support meritocracy, if people who match your race will gain an unearned advantage?

 

 

But for me. i can equally acknowledge that if a white person does receive privilege by race. that, that doesn't mean, that they are immune from racism from self hating white people. and other racial minorities. sadly, many people both within, and even outside of this site. cannot hold this duality. and it's either 1 or the other, for many people to believe in.
