Omg after watching the end of this video I just realized I'm a black man with white

Well, as a Black American, I believe we, too, have Privilege, plus my White brothers and sisters shouldn't feel guilty for something they didn't even do or even participate in.

There are a million privileges. It isn’t just “white privilege” and “male privilege.” What about hard work privilege, tall privilege, attractive privilege, 2 parent privilege, intelligent privilege, healthy privilege, not disabled privileged, wealth privilege? Being intelligent, good looking, and hard working, will get you far in life, if you apply it correctly, regardless of skin color.

I'm quoting another Youtube commenter here: "White Privilege is the ability to suffer through life’s universal indignities without blaming another ethnic group."

[joew]

Privilege is wearing $300 sneakers when you’ve never had a job. Privilege is wearing $200 Apple Airpods while living on public assistance. Privilege is having a Smartphone with a Data plan which you receive no bill for. Privilege is living in public subsidized housing where you don’t have a utility bill and where rising property taxes and rents and energy costs have absolutely no effect on the amount of food you can put on your table. Privilege is having free health insurance for you and your family that's paid for by working people who can't afford health insurance for their families.  Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting your race that's subsidized by federal tax dollars. Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only your race. Privilege is having a television network that supports only your race. Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling out of work and the consequences that accompany such. Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or school you don’t pay for.  Still waiting for this "privilege" I'm supposed to have...

When Michael Eric Dyson is involved, you know it's bad.

My god, no wonder our country is so divided, it’s people like these.

As a Hispanic, who's not white, I think of the term "white privilege" as offensive, victimizing, and racist.

[definitelynotadecoy]

Ice cube: whites are more privileged than me😞
Also ice cube: worth 120 million. Who’s really privileged here?

[jdees]

Would be nice to have had an opposing point of view speak about why this topic is controversial. No Tom Sowell, or Jason Powell, or Glenn Loury or Larry Elder, or Carol Swain. No responsibility or accountability

The homeless white veteran sleeping in a box under a bridge has so much privilege. Wish I was him

[meladgoat]

i love when i hear a black lawyer and a black university professor talking about oppression and privilege. also lumping an entire race together in a certain group. pretty sure theirs a name for that...

[robertdoback]

Six thousand years and we're still talking about skin color.

[globalparadise]

When they say "diversity" what they actually mean is "non-whiteness". I have never, ever heard of any criticism of any country that is 99% percent 1 race, if its non-white. The mainly-white countries are surely amongst the most racially diverse countries in the world, yet it is only these countries that are being singled out and called upon to have ever-increasingly more racial diversity.
Where's the criticism of Pakistan for example. for not having more racial diversity? Wheres the criticism of the African nations, for not having more racial diversity ???
I don't see or hear about Inclusion and diversity in these countries, why ??? Because there is none, because if you use this definition those countries are already as non-white as they could possibly be and therefore they arent a "problem"

[MOJOKING]

Remember how for last 50 yrs we were told its racist to generalize about & assign a label to entire group based on skin tone. Now its ok though because your doing it to whites? Saying all white people have white privilege is epitome of being racist.

[DreamsOfLiquidSilver]

"Why do you think white people are so defensive about this?"
Because you're attacking white people on the basis of race???

And I used to like Dr. Phil

[egu]

I don’t think I’ve seen so much racism in one room.

Alonzo Bodden said... and im paraphrasing... "I dont think any white person has been pulled over in a BMW and asked how do you afford this car?"
A very similar thing happened to me and i'm white. I was pulled over in my late 20's in a 3 series BMW 325 (so not even an expensive model).
The cop must have thought I looked suspicious and asked me if this was my car.
Yes,
Is it registered in your name?
Yes,
Are you sure because I'm going to check.
Yes,
White people don't know what its like growing up black and black people don't know what its like growing up white, so stop making statements you know nothing about.

All huemans are divine souls trapped in flesh cages, no matter the skin tone.
