"White Privilege" is a hoax.
4 2017-11-26 by fmtruth23
What am I, a white male citizen of America, legally allowed to do that any other colored citizen is not?
What law, statute, regulation, or doctrine enforces white privilege?
People who believe the color of their skin directs the path of their life today in the 21st century in the US are brainwashed.
Prediction: most of the people that tell me I'm "wrong" are about to be college age white kids who scramble to show me how tyrannical this country is. If only they know how lucky everybody who steps foot on this land is.

Crack and meth on the other hand have nearly identical sentences and whites are more likely to posses meth.
It's not about race it's about concentration of the drug, ease of manufacturing and ease of distribution.
1 Snorkelton 2017-11-26
it sounds like that is the elite leveraged system's racism, for which elite leveraged establishment media outlets are casting the blame on 'white people'. the crack epidemic was used as a means to systemically oppress black people, no question there. but it wasn't "white people" who did that. it was the elite ruling class the society. the issue is one of class and hierarchy, not simply race, as the king classists would prefer the masses to believe.

Cocaine is a schedule 2 drug. Crack is a schedule 1 drug. It makes complete sense that someone in possession of a schedule 1 drug would carry a heavier sentence.
2 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
Drug Scheduling is a social construct.
1 RandomR3ddit0r 2017-11-26
The phrase "social construct" is nothing more than an excuse for people who are fuck ups at life.
If you didn't use crack or coke then it wouldn't make a difference how either is classified.
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
Sorry, I'm going to have to disagree with you on that specific counterpoint, in that I know what words mean.
1 RandomR3ddit0r 2017-11-26
It seems like you don't. Every time that phrase is touted out it is used as some kind of excuse for why that individual is in the predicament they find themselves in.
Using the example offered here, saying "i got x more years because crack is scheduled higher than cocaine even though they are the same drug" is nothing more than an excuse and smoke screen to distract from the fact that the fool who got arrested was using/transporting/selling an illegal drug.
If he/she had followed the true and narrow, then it wouldn't make any difference at all how either drug is scheduled. Using the "social construct" excuse is a mere method of him/her avoiding personal responsibility for their situation.
Also, as I have come to learn, nearly every time some SJW uses that term, there is a legitimate reason for the difference they are complaining about. Here for example, crack requires an additional manufacturing level not required by cocaine, it is also has a user base that often engages in other violent crime and crimes against property to sustain their habit.
1 RMFN 2017-11-26
This was very well said.
0 Banger25209 2017-11-26
Are you saying it's racist to punish people for crack because black people like crack more than white people?
Black people murder more than white people, is it racist to have laws against murder?
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
No, but it is racist to specifically target the one of the two most common forms of a drug that is essentially identical and used by black people significantly more often for harsher punishment.
No, also, that crime has a victim. Drug use does not.
edit: rephrased and expanded my first answer
0 Banger25209 2017-11-26
"No, it's racist to punish them more harshly for the same drug."
It's a harder more dangerous drug
"No, also, that crime has a victim. Drug use does not."
So you've never seen what crack does to a community but you're aware of these laws about Crack?
When crack is introduced to a community everyone is affected, LEO and civilians alike are more likely to be murdered.
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
It's the same drug.

It's a more potent version with a quicker delivery system and separate chemicals added.

Well then why did you feel it was worth mentioning? It's almost as if you were trying to add an irrelevant point to make your argument seem stronger.
0 Banger25209 2017-11-26
See I feel like you're the one who added an irrelevant point to make your argument seem stronger.
With the whole, "Cops punish everyone equally for crack, but blacks do it more, this means the punishment for crack should be reduced because... black people?"
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
Nah.
0 Banger25209 2017-11-26
I think it's very cute that you feel the "White mans burden" or whatever it is that makes you want to have little factoids of racism to pull out of your pocket when people try to suggest that things are generally okay in America.
Black people are fine without you trying to ensure they have a little more freedom when it comes to running crack through their own communities.
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
The only "White Man's Burden" I feel is the burden of racist pieces of shit that look like me.

You don't think your family and other white families benefited from segregation, discriminatory housing practices and other laws explicitly discriminating against black people? No laws exist now, but getting rid of old laws doesn't change the impact they had.
1 BassBeerNBabes 2017-11-26
Of course they did. But the money my family has now as earned legitimately. You know, with work.
And all of the slave owning members of my family, well you can try to go talk to them but you're more likely to get smallpox than an answer for their misdeeds.
1 Mooseisabitfat 2017-11-26
All of the things I've listed only went away in the past 80 years or so. Your grandparents and great grandparents would have benefited from them. Which means your parents benefited. Which means you benefited.

Does whiteness exist or not? Isn't race a social construct? Race isn't biological because we are all equal right?
I was born with white skin but I have undergone intensive plastic surgery to augment my physical appearance to match how I felt inside. So I was born white but currently live as a Indonesian. Am I still white? Do I still have white privilege?

Since you followed me to another thread to spout nonsense about the moon, I’m just going to cut and paste:
HEY, I’m not sure why you’re following me around attempting to lambast me for a comment made in obvious jest - but you’re wrong.
Temperatures on the moon are very hot in the daytime, about 100 degrees C. At night, the lunar surface gets very cold, as cold as minus 173 degrees C.
I repeat, the dark side of the moon is -173 degrees Celsius. All the lack of an atmosphere does is increase the temperature disparity between day side and night side (on account of an inability to trap any heat or insulate the surface).
I wouldn’t go running around calling other people stupid, bud.

3 RobertAntonWilson 2017-11-26
That's the theory I came to. The "white race" didn't exist until sometime in the 1790's. It didn't get popular until the 1840's. Thomas Pownall feemf to be one of the firft to write of the "white race" back in his "The administration of the British colonies, Volume 1" in 1774.
It was a mechanism for social organization and control. The good old divide and conquer. In other words, a cruel hoax.

Clean "whites only" fountains and unkept "blacks only" ones.
The whole bus thing. The front was a privilege was it not?
"Whites only pies" I could go on for days about where white people claimed whiteness and were glad to be white rather than black because you had ADVANTAGES. Or maybe not even that they had ADVANTAGES, but that they DIDN'T have DISADVANTAGES!

Do you have a job? Serious question.
1 iAintReddit 2017-11-26
Who said anything about oppression? You're attempting to change the goalposts but you're speaking on a totally different topic now.
It's the same as the situations where people get reduced sentencing as opposed to others who get the norm for doing the same crimes. Who said the ones who got the norm were being oppressed? The conversation is about the ones who get certain passes or privileges because of their connections or money, and more often than not these people are white if you want to bring it full circle.
But here you are trying to deny that even money changes the situation. Does no one or no family have an advantage in America?
Funny question but I'm employed and have held various positions, though I'm far from rich. What does that have to do with the conversation though? Other than if I had to go to court and couldn't afford the best attorney?

Let me ask you if you can find this data.
How far OVER the minimum minority hire OR acceptance threshold do these companies and colleges go? Im going to go ahead and assume not far. They are only going to do what they have to. Hence why it exists in the first place.
It was implemented for a reason, and it wasn't what is being claimed in that article. And things are different now so the numbers may need some adjustment as with any laws that we have that are outdated, but it shouldn't be completely done away with.
Gonna address the topics hit in the wiki link?

That's not what white privilege is, genius. It's not about getting a super special White Guy Starter Pack or having explicit laws protecting our status (and relegating o others to status as second class citizens), it is about the myriad ways in which minorities are discriminated against on a day to day basis that not only do you never have to deal with, but you have the privilege of being in a position to not even consider it.
You don't have to worry about getting pulled over for being black and driving a nice car in the wrong neighborhood. You don't have to worry about loss prevention getting in your face as though you're shoplifting simply for being black. You don't have to deal with old, rude people screaming in your face like you're a moron simply because you're black.
It's things like these and thousands of other similar little things that add up to what people refer to as "white privilege," and maybe someday if you learn to think outside yourself you'll understand what is being discussed rather than having this sort of kneejerk "well where's muh privilege" reaction.
1 breeves85 2017-11-26
People don't get pulled over for being certain colors. They get pulled over for breaking traffic laws.

1 CulturalMarxsGhost 2017-11-26
The white privilege here is that you literally cannot seem to conceive of a situation in which things do not operate in that way. There is no racial profiling, and if there is then you just magically get a lawyer and (most importantly) win your court case with no problem. I guess your problem is less that you're racist and more that you have this delusional belief in Just World Theory, where everybody just gets what they deserve. Anyone who goes to jail must have broken the law. Evidence is never planted, police officers never cover for each other, etc.

I disagree, I believe racism is the root of white privilege. Light skin is favored among minorities, they get treated better than people of obvious color. I am a minority and have been treated with white privelage by law enforcement in various situations. Also have been treated with a different kind of respect in establishments like restaurants, I get sold more and treated better like I'm royalty
1 RMFN 2017-11-26

2 blueoceansunrise 2017-11-26
Their education plays a role too I think. I was raised in Harlem and the lower east side and saw a noticeable difference between the two based on the level of education and amount of money involved in funding the school for them to actually teach rather than conditioning them to figure out how to pass tests
1 ScarpaDiem 2017-11-26
While privilege still exists, but instead of it being, "We don't want you to work here because you are black", it's now, "I just don't think you'd be a good fit with our work culture."
This isn't to say that minority privilege doesn't exist... This can be clearly seen in college applications.
But if you're truly unable to see the existence of both, then you are racist.

White people have historically had a significant advantage in America. Many of those advantages have had significant impact to modern day society, which can provide an inherent advantage today. Not all white people will benefit to it in the same way. For some, it might be a lighter sentence for a crime, for some it will a factor in a person getting a job, or promotion. It could be something far more extreme as well.

As long as rich people and racist, white privilege will exist. Rich people are indeed white, and racist.
I’ll gladly post at least 20 sources in a few.
1 Burrito_nap 2017-11-26
I’ll just cut and paste this from the last thread the OP started, who for some reason has felt the need to do this twice:
In a broader sense I (as a white dude) am less likely to be discriminated against when attempting to rent an apartment or when applying for a job (based on the whiteness of my name on a resume). I am not followed around department stores when shopping or harassed by security simply for cruising around a store without purchasing something (a thing I have seen happen many times from years of working at a large department store chain downtown).
As a white single straight dude I probably have the largest dating pool of eligible women to choose from, because of the inherent (or sometimes overt) biases of ladies when choosing a partner.
On a personal level, as a frequent pedestrian and sometimes driver in my diverse city, I am practically invisible to police officers - I can drink beer while walking or smoke a joint or simply be walking in a nice neighborhood and not get harassed, a privilege that my friends (who are not white) most definitively do not enjoy (and I have personally witnessed it, as well as frequent anecdotes from them - “driving while black” is an all too familiar “crime” they get pulled over for). I am much less likely to be harassed for my casual drug use (I enjoy me some marijuana) than if I were non white, based on both personal experience and arrest rates for marijuana in my state.
I also get to enjoy the privilege of not having white people as a whole judged for the actions of the individual. Whereas people will say that the way an individual Black/Chinese/Mexican/etc acts is how all black/chinese/Mexican/etc act. It is something I’m aware of and I don’t take for granted.
This is just off the top of my head. I hope these examples helped, though I don’t pretend to be an expert (i am not an anthroplogist or sociologist or economist or whoever looks at all of that).
Glad I could contribute.
1 iselloptions 2017-11-26
There's nothing that you can do legally and no laws that enforce "white privilege".
However, that doesn't mean there's no advantages to being white in the US today.
Speaking from my own experience of growing up in an 85% white town, attending an Ivy-League school and then landing a lucrative trading job afterwards, I can still attest that there were many things that would have been better if I we're white.
The worst of it probably was when I was growing up, the kids in elementary and middle school were just brutal to me and constantly teased me for looking different, as less than 1% of the school population was Indian like me. I often felt like an outsider in my own home town. However, I dealt with it, made a few friends who didn't care and was able to do well. There was also constant rumors about how my family was poor, couldn't afford to live in the town, was loving on welfare or lived in a shack on the side of the road. In reality, my parents were entirely self-made multi-millionaires. By the time high school rolled around I was mostly left to myself, as long as I didn't try to break into the "in crowd". I didn't care, but my younger sister had a pretty rough time in high school. There were a few instances where she would walk into a house party with her friends and was told that she had to leave right when she walked in. Her "friends" put up an argument but ultimately went in while she had to wait outside or walk home. Also, once I started driving while in high school I got pulled over in town twice for speeding (10 and 20mph over). Both times I was given a ticket. Of my 5 closest friends (all white), they were pulled over in town 7 times total, and we're never ever given a ticket. I shudder to think how different the reactions would have been if we had done worse stuff.
Then, for college, I attended an Ivy-League school, with certainly no affirmative action help, as 3 students in my school with SAT scores 300 points lower than mine and class ranks 10-15 lower than me (I was 2/350), got into my top choice, Cornell while I was rejected.
Once I was at Penn, I considered joining a frat. I went to rush with a few of my friends and we all got bids. However, on bid night, a vocal minority of the current brothers started chanting "white is right" and shouting that they only wanted white pledges. Apparently they had created a "faction" called "Jolly Old <frat name>" with the purpose of pushing for only allowing white guys in. I was pretty uncomfortable and turned down the bid cause of that.
Later, when applying for internships for after freshman year through cold calls and emails, I noticed a lot of my white classmates would end up with far more interviews per contact attempt than me. I generally would send 50 emails for 1 interview, while other people would send 5-10.
Same story sophomore and junior year, but since there was a formalized on campus recruiting thing I felt I wasn't at as much of a disadvantage because of my name.
Now, I'm contemplating joining a country club when I move to the suburbs, but am worried about similar issues with that.
I don't claim that it's awful to be a minority here, and I've definitely been born into a nice situation, but my life would certainly have been easier as a white person, and I've constantly felt like an outsider in my own homeland.
1 hz6xc1 2017-11-26
White privilege is a spurious construct invented by populism who love to divide and categorize people into groups just so they can keep animosity and hatred between them in order to better control them.
1 iseeyoubruh 2017-11-26
Black people tend to be the most vocal when it comes to white privilege but I would argue that it can be a deflection from immigrants. Immigrants have the least privilege of all...yes even below black people. At least most black Americans have the opportunity to have generations of American ancestors and education and access that came with that.
You have immigrants coming to the US that are used to living on $2 a day or less and even making $5 an hour under the table in the US makes them happier and more hopeful.
Can't stand when black people screech about reparations or scream white privilege because they can't get a job when immigrants are now the shadow labor fueling the US economy. Get outta here!
Next time you go to your favorite restaurant whose in the kitchen and bussing tables? Surely it'll be an immigrant.

1 ISeeYourTurdCutter 2017-11-26
My parents left Bosnia back in December of 1996 right after the civil war in what was Yugoslavia. My dad had only $200 in his pocket, my older brother and sister, and my mom, pregnant with me at the time. They came to this country not knowing a single word of English. Not a single word. But my dad had been an electrician for years and let his hands do the talking. When I as born in 97 there was 10 of us (my family and other Bosnians living together at the time) sharing a 2 bedroom apartment. You would only hear my dad complain that he couldn't get enough money. He never bitched about being a political refugee in this country. He never bitched about how unfair it is. He never complained about how some "systemic racism or institutionalized racism" kept him from succeeding and keeping a roof over our head, clothes on our back, and food in our stomach. He just did his work, made enough money to move us out of that 2 bed room apartment and into our own house in Missouri where we lived for almost 20 years. So when people say there's systemic racism or institutionalized racism, that's a bullshit excuse. I can guarantee you. Because I'm willing to bet you, someone just doesn't want to put in the effort, the work, into bettering themselves.
1 Richie209 2017-11-26
Has there been a system of white enslavement here? Did local governments create laws that made it harder for whites specifically to get jobs while simultaneously creating anti-unemployment laws while white unemployment was high? Was there ever laws criminalizing substances often used by white people? Did the USgovernment subsidize the murder of groups of white people? My grandparents had access to institutions like housing/car loans much more easier that black people of the time; and they didn't lower property values for simply living in a neighborhood. Before the "white guilt" bullshit, go read some fucking books. And yes, Irish were indentured servants and Italians/Germans etc were targeted for a few years, that's apples to oranges though based on a few factors.

I wouldn't say that it is a hoax.
It is an exercise in semantics. White privilege is simply the absence of racism. Since racism does indeed exist, the absence of racism also exists. Hence, white privilege exists.
However, in a racist environment dominated by whites (as opposed to South Africa where it is dominated by backs, or places in China where it is dominated by Han), nobody gets anything extra for being white. It is simply that nonwhites get less than they would had they been treated fairly.

I'm of mixed ethnicities and don't consider myself white. My experience has been that people tend to see in me whatever they want. Most of the time I get positive responses and in those examples people tend to ask more often if I have Latin or native American ancestry, but on the rare ocassions people go negative and decide to use racial slurs, I am always regarded as white. I have an older sister who primarily gets complimented as being an attractive Indian woman, but when people receive her negatively she is always a white bitch.
In short people are ridiculous and we need to just keep fucking until everyone is so mixed that the completely false concept of race is no longer relevant and we can just celebrate cultures rather than focus on ridiculous divides based on ethnicity and perceived genetic superiority.
0 WestCoastHippy 2017-11-26
It's not a hoax. The emergence of the phrase may be part of a conspiracy. White Privilege and "law, statute, regulation, or doctrine enforces white privilege" are two wholly separate entities. Redlining in real estate isn't a law, statute, regulation, or doctrine enforces(ing) white privilege, but it does enforce white privilege.

1 BassBeerNBabes 2017-11-26
When the naivete of 80's nihilism wore off, the groggy, hungover, neon masses took on an earth toned New Age approach to making everyone feel worse about having fun without including everyone in their party. So they got all inclusive and started creating a new amorphous blob of lifeless morons scared of the edge their hippie parents got to experience in full force. They created "Team Building Exercises" and "Corporate Synergy" and anyone who didn't get it was immediately sold a pair of Adderall or Zoloft grey-scaling glasses to keep their dreary shit day to day from spiraling into an actually enjoyable existence with an integrated, colloidal diversity.
Anybody who notices the "wrong" differences (sexuality, skin color, biological sex) or doesn't praise the "right" differences (gender identity, mental health, physical handicap) is a bigot racist privileged shitlord and is socially demoted until there's no semblance of moral fiber on which they can stand up to an accusation of being the aforementioned.

Not better or worse.
Yet at an advantage....
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
That isn't contradictory. If a table is tilted, the marbles will roll down, and it has nothing to do with the inherent qualities of the marbles.
1 lesdoggg 2017-11-26
but all marbles will roll...

Yes it is...

I've updated that post with a handy metaphor.

Disingenuous debate tactics. Lose then edit your comment, classy.

...then why did I say that I edited it?
Hmmm.

That's absolutely not what the term means. Jesus fuck, is it all the people who think like you do is make bad faith arguments?

White privelige refers to white people being treated better. It doesn't imply they are inherently better.
1 doooooooomed 2017-11-26
I'm left leaning and think white privilege is bullshit.
Don't assume so much.
1 jpond17 2017-11-26
Nope. White privilege doesn't mean white people are better, it means they are treated better, or have more opportunities due to social constructs.
-2 RMFN 2017-11-26
Especially considering whiteness is a social construct. It's literally impossible to be white. Therefore white privilege does not exist.

When was a teenager I was very dark just from tanning. Now I'm pasty as fuck. Am I a better white now?

I think you may be.

I have to agree

For an intelligent conversation yes, but if you have a better sub dedicated to calling a hoax a hoax please let me know. Thanks.

There are like four contradictions in this sentence alone.

Oh, well because you're so intellectually gifted why don't you point out all four contradictions for us. I'll wait.

Not surprised you lurk in top minds.
2 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
Not surprised you're here denying the existence of white privilege.
-2 RMFN 2017-11-26
Whiteness is a social construct.
1 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
The thing about a social construct is, it's a thing that is constructed by society. The fact that it is a thing that has been constructed implies that it is a thing that exists. The fact that it is not something that occurred naturally doesn't make it not exist.
-10 fmtruth23 2017-11-26
See it's people like you who assume you know somebody off of a single reddit post who are the real assholes. The reality is that I probably meet more people in a day than you do in week. Thanks for the advice though.

Yes, if there's anything the law is known for, it's the persecution of white males. Jesus Christ.
-1 RMFN 2017-11-26
I'm going to do my best to behave... Lol
2 RMFN 2017-11-26
What does white privilege mean then? It is saying whites have it inherently easier, does it not?
1 fmtruth23 2017-11-26
Lol!

Pointing out anger isn't a winning argument. You are fumbling over your own thoughts.
So is it a hoax or not?
2 FuckRedditThreeTimes 2017-11-26
If I was truly racist do you think it would be possible for me to fall in love with somebody who I'm supposed to hate? Also being black it's damn near impossible for me to discriminate against somebody because of the color of their skin cause I know how wrong it is
2 MrMediumStuff 2017-11-26
It is a strong indicator though.
-2 RMFN 2017-11-26
Whiteness is a social construct.
1 RandomR3ddit0r 2017-11-26
It seems like you don't. Every time that phrase is touted out it is used as some kind of excuse for why that individual is in the predicament they find themselves in.
Using the example offered here, saying "i got x more years because crack is scheduled higher than cocaine even though they are the same drug" is nothing more than an excuse and smoke screen to distract from the fact that the fool who got arrested was using/transporting/selling an illegal drug.
If he/she had followed the true and narrow, then it wouldn't make any difference at all how either drug is scheduled. Using the "social construct" excuse is a mere method of him/her avoiding personal responsibility for their situation.
Also, as I have come to learn, nearly every time some SJW uses that term, there is a legitimate reason for the difference they are complaining about. Here for example, crack requires an additional manufacturing level not required by cocaine, it is also has a user base that often engages in other violent crime and crimes against property to sustain their habit.

When the naivete of 80's nihilism wore off, the groggy, hungover, neon masses took on an earth toned New Age approach to making everyone feel worse about having fun without including everyone in their party. So they got all inclusive and started creating a new amorphous blob of lifeless morons scared of the edge their hippie parents got to experience in full force. They created "Team Building Exercises" and "Corporate Synergy" and anyone who didn't get it was immediately sold a pair of Adderall or Zoloft grey-scaling glasses to keep their dreary shit day to day from spiraling into an actually enjoyable existence with an integrated, colloidal diversity.
Anybody who notices the "wrong" differences (sexuality, skin color, biological sex) or doesn't praise the "right" differences (gender identity, mental health, physical handicap) is a bigot racist privileged shitlord and is socially demoted until there's no semblance of moral fiber on which they can stand up to an accusation of being the aforementioned.

Yeah the blacks got whipped but the Irish got their knees broken. Not comparable at all.

From what I understand the Irish were flat out slaves for a while. Their inherent laziness saved them.
1 Richie209 2017-11-26
Irish were able to slip back into society once colored people were targeted. Not to mention the entire southern economy alone was based on owning black people for quite sometime. No ones saying the Irish didn't endure similar conditions, im saying it was for less time and there were less barriers to entry (to use economic terms) for merging into American society.
