Use of 'white privilege' makes online discussions more polarized and less constructive

I have been told more than once that I am lucky because I’m a lawyer. My response is that I remember the day I bought the scratch ticket at the 7-11 and won a law degree, saving me the trouble of going to college for seven years, toiling over book work, which I despised, and paying thousands of dollars for the privilege. I was also spared the inconvenience of waiting until I was in my thirties to have children, living on ramen noodles and bologna sandwiches, driving a 20 year old car, and putting my wife to work. Yes, it was a real stroke of luck, and thank the lord it was all because I enjoyed white privilege.

You can extend this argument to homosexual-privilege or trans-privilege or Jewish-privilege especially in Hollywood.

Just look at the Vatican where the most vocal degenerate homo priest are promoted by the Pope, and now 80% of bishops are queer.

The normal’s are outcast and disenfranchised.

Saying that Whites are privileged in America is the same thing as saying that Italians are privileged in Italy or that Japanese are privileged in Japan.

"White Privilege" is nothing more than a Marxist divide and conquer gimmick.

“use of “white privilege” on social media can actually decrease support for racially progressive policies.”

Lying about things makes people not like or trust you anymore. Well that’s good. I guess we’re not completely gone.

The factors holding most blacks back are nature-driven, Crime, violence, and general chaotic behavior, most of which are driven by the fact that half of them have IQs below 85.

IMHO this white privilege and/or supremacy is total BS.

I've decided to embrace it. According to progressive's, being a white male, I was born with superhuman 'godlike' powers granting me dominion over all other lesser razes.

I don't even need to try or be aware of my superiority it is ever present. My superior genetic DNA gives me magical power to control all which I set me eyes upon.

According to progressive, lesser razes were born with substandard intellect, work ethic and morals and a host of other defects. Therefor it is not fair for them to compete on a level playing field with superhumans such as myself. Equity can never be achieved under such circumstances because there can never be a level playing field against such god-like people.

If minorities would just stop and think about it, they would see just how insulting progressives are to them.

The problem that I see here is not “white privilege” but the people that claim it is the problem.

Here’s an idea… why don’t people STFU and mind their own business? Maybe go to work?

imho, the individual who tosses the ‘white privilege’ card is so g.d. stupid that he has used all of his ‘yeah but’s’, and has no more floor to stand on.

Is “white privilege” keeping Somalis down in Somalia?

I’d be satisfied if it just kept Somalis *in* Somalia.

“White privilege” is a racist term. Only racists use it.
