Does "White privilege" exist? - If so, how and why?

I fully support them going back. Would be hilarious to see them in the employ of the direct dynastic descendant of those who sold them to (((whitey))) in the first place

Ghana has been running a "back to Africa" campaign and their president is in-fact a member of unbroken royalty to long before the slave trade, but his lineage is of Akyem descent, who were the only culture in Africa to unilaterally oppose the slave trade. That's actually a needle in a haystack, there, but it is the case that Ghana is not run by "direct dynastic descendant" of slave traders.
So far as I'm aware that's the only example of an ancient ruling family having influence over a modern African country, since a lot of them went socialist or Muslim it tends to alternate between "state worker of unimportant background" and "descendant of a famous imam" (by caste, their lineage would have never been merchants or allowed to trade).
Actual racists foiled Garvey's attempt to get blacks back to Africa in the (19)20s, and by modern day we've become so obsessed with importing fresh Africans that soon no one will be able to tell the difference anyway.

We earned that privilege by not being fuck-ups. If you want to fix the black community, fix their toxic fucking culture. A culture that glorifies ignorance, and abdicates parental responsibility; one that glorifies crime over law and order.

Black communities were doing just fine until that that Toxic Culture was promoted by the media and certain people got rich of it and that's where we are right now

Let me see if I understand this theory correctly: you think that the black community sucks right now because the media, what, encouraged them to be self-destructive? Sorry, I don't buy that, I don't think that black people are mindless sheep who do whatever the media tells them to do. I think they're perfectly capable of making their own decisions, and they live with the consequences of them.

Fatherless homes are the main problem. Far too many black children grow up without proper parental guidance. This affects white people too, obviously, but not to as great an extent. I guess the question then is, how do we fix that problem with policy? Clearly what we're doing now isn't working, so what should we change?

Oh, I agree with you that Fatherless homes are one of the main issues with that but what causes that main issue is the US Government started to push the father out of the home with programs like Welfare and Wic and etc.

And add years of pushing the narrative Black Men ain't shit well you get what the black community is living with right now.

You could maybe argue that weve had a bit of a head start considering we started as soon as the country was colonized and they only really had a chance to really start building up once slavery ended. Of course theyre worse off because they started later that isnt oppression they have all the same opportunities they just havent had them for as long.

The way i see it if they rose up and ended slavery themselves then their hate boner for whitey would be justified, but they wouldnt have their freedom if it werent for a good chunk of white people who fought to give them their freedom, and now theyre (BLM not all black people) kinda just shitting in the hand that feeds

No more welfare programs? Yeah, that would be a good start.

The Underground Railroad is one such example of slaves fighting for freedom.

I would like to add the low standards the Black community as a whole has placed on itself.

Keep in mind, Black nuclear families exist. It's not a rare thing, just single parent households are more plentiful.

Somebody mentioned it's not a "race privilege" but a "class privilege." Back to the US government comment, isn't it a coincidence that the majority of the US government has more privilege than the average citizen?

good point. Sorry that sounded rude as fuck the way i put it. I more meant it wasnt a singlehanded victory over all white people like some of the BLM guys seem to see it as, without any help they likely wouldnt have gotten their freedom without leaving the country so it would have been a worse outcome if literally all white people were cool with slavery

I get it. Civil rights for anybody is a human issue. If you were discriminated against on a national scale, it would be my right to fight for your equality. As others did mine. We're all in this together.

I don't agree with the notion that Whites should be inferior to Blacks because of what happened 50+ years ago. That's repeating history and solves nothing.

What's I'm trying to ask is that some microaggressions do happened between interactions. Not as big as they were before, but in some cases they do.

White women calling the police when they see a Black person, thinking you don't belong in a certain area because of your skin, separating races, you vote X or you're not Black, etc.

Being raised to treat others with respect shouldn't be considered a "White privilege" if you're a minority.

Yes. The issue that I find is that the people who do are under the impression that they'll be exempt from any criticism or backlash from solely just by speaking out on it. Some are either lack self-awareness or do so by design as a move to keep power.

Most of them really don't want to be put under that microscope, cause then that would force them to change and they really don't want that.

Only privilege is rich people privilege. Poor white trash are treated like shit. Black people want to live here. In fact, I know many landed immigrants who are from Africa and came here. They don'twant to go back. One of them told me how lucky I am that I didn't have to immigrate. Kinda pissed me off actually. It's not my fault that your country is a shit hole. I'm eighth generation. My ancestors did their time.

Make it a requirement that a baby daddy is held responsible. No welfare to unmarried women with kids. You want that money, you get your ass to Deshawn's house and drag him to the courthouse (or just meet him there after trial). Maybe next time you'll use birth control or self-control.
