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

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.
This would actually be a huge deal, not JUST for black people (they're definitely not the only people that do this, though I'm pretty sure that "Black Father's Day" meme exists for a damn good reason). Any time I see the whole "I was irresponsible, I picked a poor father for my kids, etc. and that's why I need everyone else to help subsidize my poor decisions" thing happen it bothers me. Not really so much the money involved, though that doesn't help - it's the abdication of real responsibility predicated on the notion that it doesn't matter anyway, Daddy Gummint will prop my ass up. It's an incredibly unhealthy mindset and one I wouldn't mind seeing go the way of the dodo sooner rather than later.
 
Having both parents or one is a privilege in and of itself, but being dealt a bad hand in childhood is common.

It's just plain irresponsible. Not just on you but on your children as well.

Without a male role model, they're going to venture other avenues to fill that empty gap in.
 
Every race has an advantage over every other race in some way. This is true no matter where you go.

Black people get into prestigious schools for free with basically with no effort, and if you want to get into the entertainment industry you have a massive leg up if you're black or Jewish. They're significantly more likely to have their lives subsidized by the government, from food to housing to straight up free money. The mainstream media, the entertainment industry, academia, and the government all openly prefer blacks over whites. There are numerous drives to get more black people in basically every facet of society, whether they're actually underrepresented or not. People are hostile toward any group that doesn't have enough black people in it for their liking. The only real downsides to being black come from within, so they're not relevant in terms of privilege. Sabotaging yourself to "keep it real" isn't lack of privilege, it's stupidity. They could stop any time, but they don't.

Jews live longer, make more money, have a tightly knit community, and are massively over-represented among positions of power, whether that be billionaires, politicians, or people with great influence. They have special protections against "hate speech" which are so broad that they make Jews impossible to criticize. People will label you a nazi if you so much as look at a Jew the wrong way. There is absolutely zero downside to being Jewish.

Asians are like Jews that you're legally allowed to criticize, but they make up for it by being less likely to be exterminated once China takes over the world.

Hispanics basically own the entire southwest United States and get all the welfare and leg-up programs of blacks without having as much of a fatherless drug dealer piece of shit culture.

Natives/First Nations have massive tracts of lands where they're immune to all or nearly all US law. They can do literally whatever they want, even if that same thing would get a US citizen put in prison for life. They get lifelong reparations from both the government and their tribe. Many, of not most, tribes are disgustingly rich because lack of laws means casinos, which are basically money printing factories.

I literally don't even know what privilege white people have that none of the other races do aside from majority privilege, which as far as I can tell is so small it can't even be measured. They're not the richest race, they're not the healthiest, they're not the most powerful in media or government, they're the only race you're allowed to openly hate, and soon they won't even be a majority. The single perceived privilege that white people have - that cops are less likely to kill them - is untrue. A white person being arrested is exactly as likely to be killed as a black person being arrested. Seriously, name a single upside to being born white in America today. One. And before you say "less likely to be born poor", Asians and Jews already do that better.
 
Behold, a man with no privilege!

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.
I can get being angry after constant smaller shows of disrespect and then George Floyd getting killed, it definitely does call for a more aggressive response but towards the people actually responsible for killing George Floyd.

If BLM set up a couple CHAZ'es around the houses of the cops who killed him and dumped their concentrated hate on them until either forced to leave or those cops are arrested for murder. Couldnt send in the police to clear them without heavy backlash and would probably have a lot more support from people outside their group who want the same thing as them
 
My White family asked me about Black Lives Matter. I told them that initially, I understood the intent of it. But it has gotten counterproductive in its practice and execution, especially for Black folks.

I didn't want to isolate them by mentioning it but they asked. You want to help Black lives by burning your own communities.

We even agreed that Minneapolis was off the charts fucked up. Either way, I felt included when they asked me my opinion.

I actually believe there is white privilege, I just don’t think we should curb it nor do I think white privilege comes at the expense of anybody else. Thanks to white people, we have electricity, running water, internet, etc. We’ve gone to the Mariana Trench and the Moon thanks to white people. White people have been at the forefront of solving the world’s issues to where we’ve greatly extended lifespans and quality of life. It’s the job of white people to make advancements and hand the baton over to the next generation to make advancements to pass along to the next generation and so on.
Western civilization did that. Not "white people".

Does that mean Chinese were solely responsible for the creation of math?

It’s a women’s problem. Men need to be more assertive.
 
I don't believe in race nationalism.

Nor would I support something that would result in the destruction or genocide of something based on skin color.

Why would I remotely side with something that wants me gone because I'm Black?

I have to disagree vehemently with your statement. At the most basic level no one on this Earth should have privilege based on how they are born. This includes class, race, sex, or whatever. Society should transition to a true meritocracy where the only thing that matters is your ability to provide for society, and being a lawful citizen. This is why i'm against Affirmative Action. It causes non-whites who are not over-performers to slip through the cracks on basis of their race alone.

Non-whites have contributed throughout human history from Africa to East Asia when it comes to where we are now. Western civilization is responsible for the most recent modern advancements, but that is a piss poor excuse to favor someone based on their race.

Then you said...

A majority of Jewish people ARE White. I didn't know being a certain religion offered so many privileges.

I would not know the difference between a White or a Jewish person unless they said so.
 
All mansions are houses, but not everyone who lives in a house lives in a mansion. You can't say an entire group has privilege because a tiny fraction of it does. And it's not about religion; the vast majority of American jews are secular. It's about ethnicity. My statement doesn't really apply to Hasidic/Sephardic/etc. Jews, but they're such a small population it's assumed you're talking about Ashkenazi when you say "Jew" in America.
 
"White privilege" is saying "you're responsible for the actions of others of your kind", and such thinking is at the core of this whole "woke" BS. If society thinks "[kind deemed oppressor] privilege" exists, race/sex/etc tensions can never go away.

On a solely racial basis in a white majority country, in my experience, white privilege exists. Not to the extent some people make out, though.

The purpose of AA was to get minorities into positions of power so that it would be normalized. And then young black men would grow up thinking they could be a CEO instead of being Ludacris.

It's a good thing.
 
Affirmative action was meant so that even with some differences, any race could get on the same playing field as the majority. With little caveats.
 
Whites usually point to crimes against whites committed by blacks while blacks usually point to history rather than current year stuff to make their point that it's "payback". Few examples.

And the list is endless. But the fact of the matter is it's really up for debate as to who you think is worse. Personally, I think shipping these blacks to our country was a bad idea to start with, and we are dealing with the consequences of that. As for my opinion on privilege, it used to exist but not anymore obviously. While blacks do receive harsher prison sentences than whites on average, but discrimination is no longer legal.
