Look at those poor fellows. They got their fingers amputated or crippled in their zippers and now their pants won’t stay up.

Is there black privilege in Africa?

"White privilege" is a logical fallacy known as unfalsifiability. There are two outcomes to an accusation of white privilege:

1) You admit you have it, thereby confessing yourself to be a beneficiary of unearned freedoms;
2) You deny you have it, which is a symptom of the very thing of which you're accused, thereby proving that you are guilty.

So, in other words, there is only ONE outcome: you are guilty. There is no other option.

White privilege also suffers from a philosophical weakness called reficiation, a marxist construct that invents concepts then makes those abstractions into concrete existences.

The bottom line is that there is no such thing as white privilege. It is a concept so loosely and abstractly defined as to defy rebuttal, and its very rebuttal argues in its favor.

There is, however, a demonstrable phenomenon known as Black Privilege. See "OJ Simpson."

“Talking about white privilege is just a way to excuse self-destructive behavior by non-Whites.”

YES, YES, YES, Of course it is. Additionally, - so is the so called “Black Lives Matter” . That. -with all this poppycock Raciest accusations being made against the Evil White Man are truly negating the true facts. Blacks don’t want to compete in life, on any kind of a fair playing field. NAACP, BET, Negro College Scholarship Funds, ... etc.,, are all Raciest against white people.
BLACKS refuse to accept accountability for their own actions, they would rather put their energy into shaking down society for; free-everything, and go around beating up and harming innocent people for every problem they have.

It starts at the top. 96% of the Black Population voted for BHO simply because he was black. Lay aside the fact the guy is a known Muslim Terrorist Supporter, won’t show his College Records, Imposed illegal taxes via Obama care, and takes extremely expensive vacations, never held a job, doesn’t know anything about the rule of law, -— and tries to tell other nations , as well as ours, that they must honor “Sodomites” as some sort of Elite class of people. Blacks can’t and won’t admit that the cause of their problems........is the man in the morning Mirror. End of Story.

That’s a game I refuse to play. I started out dirt poor. Many fellow freepers would have referred to me as “feral” in my youth. I am self made, 100%. My wife gets some credit for allowing me to build what I have. Government is only an obstacle in my daily life and the guys I build for only care about deadlines and quality. The only thing being white does is raise expectations and burdens.

I was mugged over 30 years ago in downtown L.A. by 2 black guys who told me, among other B.S., that “we don’t care if we kill you ‘cause you white.”

Don’t give me this B.S. about “white privilege.”

I earned my white privilege, if I have any, which I haven’t noticed.

It is based on a few thousand years...

Good point!

It took whites thousands of years to move from grass huts to modern housing. In Africa, most blacks still live in grass huts, but Blacks in America today got a big shortcut on the backs of their great, great...grandparents, who suffered through slavery. For those alive today in America, a helluva deal.
