How do you guys live with yourselves w/ all this White Guilt? It must be exhausting...
I'm exhausted just reading about it.
It's certainly no more exhausting than keeping inflated the fantasy that everyone's hard work counts the same.
Tell me about it...I took me a lot longer to get promoted simply due to not being the right flavor.
Poor guy, I feel bad for you. You and those little Vietnamese kids working their fingers to the bone have so much in common.
Don't feel bad for me, I do alright. You are correct about the Vietnamesse people thou....never seen a harder working group of people then them in my short time there. You should go see 4 yourself w/ your own eyes..

I hope you don't own anything made from China.
I don't see the relevance to the discussion.
They work very hard(Chinese) to make the products you most likely use everyday for very little pay. It goes along with what you said about wages and such.
I hope that you only buy things made from places where wages are fair.

I understand all that but how is it relevant to a discussion on white privilege?? If anything, it corroborates the idea that we are born on third.
There's a general victimization mentality that is afflicting this country right now. There is no doubt in my mind that minorities (particularly African-Americans) are at a natural disadvantage vs whites in this country. But it goes beyond that. Read the Huffington Post today.. there are so many articles that seek to stoke the belief that you are a victim. Flip to the right.. National Review, Red State, etc. They are all victims too. It's ridiculous and I generally can't stand to be around any of it anymore. I don't even know where to get the news from anymore.

You may have been born on third, I was born in Far Rockaway Queens, a shit hole.
I don't take offense to the comment but if someone said that to me? I'd smile and nod my head, as I know the paths taken to be where I am. If others don't get it, cool - rolls off my back.
Understood. I hate being lumped in with the priveledged though. That's racist no? "all white collared whites won already"
If you're white, you have white privilege. It's just a fact, and not racist or prejudiced. If someone's offended when it's white privilege is pointed out, then their offense is from denial.
After reading five different articles I can see the point. It's just really, really hard for me to see it in myself as having "white privilege". I didn't grow up like 99.9% of you. So try and see it from my perspective.
White privilege doesn't mean that you didn't work hard, nobody is saying that. White privilege means that your hard work was recognized and rewarded. Millions of people on this planet have worked hard to a point that would put you to shame and they received starvation wages or worse for that work, not promotions and an increasingly easier life.

You mentioned hard work and wages earlier.
Yes, I mentioned it, and you are proving my point by hammering on it. We are the recipients of the sweatshops, not the sweatshop workers. Whether I use those products or not has nothing to do with my privilege in being born white in the wealthiest country in the world. Queens or Appalachia aren't the greatest place, but it is still born on third. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise.

Well for one they don't play baseball in most countries, lol.
I still find it very interesting that no matter what plight or hardship I've had to overcome in getting to where I am today doesn't matter, it all happened because I am white...
That's kind of like blaming someone who's ancestors may have owned slaves.
Your last post should say that ALL people in the US are born on third.

People born in the US generally have a much greater advantage compared to the world. Whether it's second or third is dependent on a few factors. I am the son of a Ukrainian immigrant who never finished 8th grade. We were very blue collar and very low/middle class. There's no doubt that a Harvard legacy has an advantage over me. But I also had an inherent advantage over someone born in East Baltimore, for example. Perhaps because I'm white, or that I had my father there to kick my ass or lots of other things. There's probably white privilege but there's certainly socioeconomic privilege.

YES white males working corporate America won the lottery.
Amazed every time I go into meeting with 50 of so attendees and there's maybe one black male.
Sorry but if you don't think you won lottery being born white in America in this world you out of touch with reality and give yourself way too much credit. Working hard is relative. But understand need to feel special.
I'm surprised that my hard work, ability to learn and adapt, life experience and job promotion all amounted to nothing and where I am today is only because I'm white.
Not just being white. Being white in America. Your work was easy compared to the migrant worker from Africa who lands in southern Spain in a makeshift boat to pick vegetables in 110 heat

Millions of people on this planet have worked hard to a point that would put you to shame and they received starvation wages or worse for that work, not promotions and an increasingly easier life.
You mentioned hard work and wages earlier.
Yes, I mentioned it, and you are proving my point by hammering on it. We are the recipients of the sweatshops, not the sweatshop workers. Whether I use those products or not has nothing to do with my privilege in being born white in the wealthiest country in the world. Queens or Appalachia aren't the greatest place, but it is still born on third. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise.
Well for one they don't play baseball in most countries, lol.
I still find it very interesting that no matter what plight or hardship I've had to overcome in getting to where I am today doesn't matter, it all happened because I am white...
That's kind of like blaming someone who's ancestors may have owned slaves.
Your last post should say that ALL people in the US are born on third.
Maybe if you had opportunity to be a black male for a month you'd get it.
Fair enough.
i suppose it's nothing like going to a foreign country and people look at you differently or won't help you? Or people not wanting to bother with you because your religion is different? People asking why you're not around your own kind?
If I'm getting anywhere close please let me know... I'll tell you all about my travels...

Sure are, it's not the best area to grow up. There are people that have it rough everywhere there's no doubt. But, as shitty as it is, there is still an element of racism and privilege within the area. In Randolph county WV for instance, many call black people Guinea folk, and they are subject to the same sorts of prejudice that they would be elsewhere.

You and those little Vietnamese kids working their fingers to the bone have so much in common.
I hope that you only buy things made from places where wages are fair.
Suicide nets speak volumes.
