Have composed a partial list rebutting, but would like and appreciate feedback on the email.
Will be in and out. Sorry for just posting and running.
Rebuttal?
Simply point out that the entire assertion of “white privilege” is racist on its face.
“White privilege” is just another way to heap unearned shame on whites and keep the victimization of the black race narrative alive.
What a pile of crap. Stores sell products based on demand. 87% of the demand in the US is not black, so stores would logically offer products that satisfy that demand. Go through the rest of the arguments, think, and then ask if there is another explanation that makes more sense.
Hitler did this to the Jews. He stigmatized them, and then dehumanized a whole race of people as incorrigible and worthy of extinction. Anything today sound like that?
Regarding sterotyping - it sure doesn’t help the decent blacks when the black thugs steal, beat people, murder. etc.
If I were black I’d be really pissed at these black thugs.
“White privilege” is the advantage of 5 to 6000 years of cultural advancement.
The Dems and media keep the Negroes in a culture of the post Civil War.
VERY inferior and unfair But their masters say it’s ‘unfairness’ .
I barely get through a day with a few hours of free time, I am supposed to read books and watch documentaries and meditate on the consequences of slavery? Do I also need to study up on the disadvantages women faced and the plight of the native Americans?
Why do Asians seem to do well? Or Indians? Why are they not affected by our system?
Yeah, that sounds like the rhetoric of ANTIFA, BLM, and Louis Farakan.
This article is fake news.
White privilege started with Eddie Murphy’s 1979 SNL skit.
Let summarize.
White is bad
Black is good
““White privilege” is just another way to heap unearned shame on whites and keep the victimization of the black race narrative alive.”
My “white privilege” was to have two loving parents who taught me good values, insisted I work as a teen for my spending money (paper route, field hand for a farmer, mowing lawns, painting houses), pushed me to succeed in school, and then sent me into the world at age 18 with a couple of sets of clothes, common sense, and a burning desire to make something of myself. Somehow I missed the trust fund and inherited wealth author of the article speaks to.
Sadly, many black children do not benefit from two loving parents who teach good values and insist on performance in school. The real white advantage is cultural, not monetary.
There is no “white privilege”. But there is racism.
Think about this. I recently drove to a historic site. There was a gate about 60 yards from this historic building that said, “closed for the season” (due to Covid19). I left my husband in the car, and as I walked around the gate and up a small hill so I could get a glance at the building, I saw a car near the closed gift shop. I got to the top of the hill, saw the cool historic building, and walked back to my car. This took about 2 minutes or less. Of course, a man and what appeared to be his son left the gift shop, sped toward me and informed me that I could not even walk on the grounds per governor’s order. I asked nicely if this was private or public property and the man replied that it was neither, it was a museum. (?) Anyway, I thanked the man for letting me know and we nicely parted.
So anyone going around the gate would have been confronted. Did I feel I could get away with going around the gate because I am “white” and am privileged to not have to worry about confrontation? No, I just wanted to see the building and didn’t think it was a big deal. Could it have escalated into a big deal? Yeah, the dude with his kid could have been a big shot in the small town and could have wanted to make a point. Who knows. And yeah, could the dude have been a racist and escalated the situation MORE if a black person had gone around the gate? Yeah, that’s why the dude would be called a racist. It would have had nothing to do with ME or my skin color.
“White privilege” is just a term the SJW’s made up to make liberal whites feel guilty.
It’s been my “White Privilege” to be taxed so hard that the poor’s greatest health problem is obesity because they eat better than I’ve been able to feed my family.
Then come to find out after doing the DNA thing that I’m a mix breed. Hispanic/Native-American/Polynesian/African/Celtic. So where’s my free stuff?
*** and the plight of the native Americans?***
Those Native Americans joined the Confederacy in the Civil War.
The tribes that made or were negotiating treaties with the Confederacy.
Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Comanches, Wachitas, Kiowas, Pottawattamies, Chickasaws, Osages, Seminoles, Senecas, Shawnees, Quawpaws.
The South also had Indian agents operating all throughout the High Plains and mountain region stirring up other tribes such as the Sioux, Cheyenne, Navajo and Apaches to make war on the Union at that time.
Their traditional enemies, Pawnee, Kaw, Osage (well, part of them), Crow, remained loyal to the Union.
“There is little doubt that the recent outbreak in the Northwest has resulted from the efforts of secession agents operating through Canadian Indians and fur-traders.”—Mr Giddings, US Counsul-general in Canada
“White people are less likely to be followed, interrogated or searched by law enforcement because they look “suspicious.” “
When it comes to actual crimes committed, the smaller number of blacks are responsible for both the vast majority of crimes on white, as well as the overwhelming number of crimes on fellow blacks.
There is a reason blacks get more inspection in various places and it is simple statistics and not race based at its core.
Does she also explain “Asian privilege”.
They do better than whites and cops never randomly stop them.
I wonder why?
There’s also Indian (from India) privilege. They also do better than whites.
If by “priviledge” they mean a certain level of POSITIVE discrimination and prejudice toward certain groups, it may simply be that those groups on average behave better than others.
You want to change your groups privilege? Work toward cleaning up your group’s reputation. In other words clean up your house. What they are doing instead with all these riots they are just flushing their group’s rep further down the capper.
