I enjoy my white privilege. Do you enjoy yours?
White privilege is great. I recommended it to all people of all races. My 2 parents bestowed upon me white privilege (count 'em, 2 parents, that is "parents", with an "s" at the end.) I cherish my white privilege, and I wish the same upon everybody.
In today's world, white privilege is available to anyone of any race who follows these 6 guidelines:
1) Be raised in a 2 parent household that includes the biological FATHER, where the father supports you financially, protects you from miscreants, and will not tolerate poor grades nor dropping out of school nor any other malfeasance on your part.
2) Get a good education, including a high school graduation (a GED does not count) as well as at least some community college or better, that will lead to a good paying job.
3) Speak and write grammatically correct English that is devoid of any profanity.
4) Get a good job and get up and go to work every day without fail.
5) Refrain from committing criminal acts in any form, including no illegal substance abuse.
6) Get married before fathering or giving birth to your 1st child, and refrain from fathering or having your first child until you are at least 21 years of age.
These behaviors are key to obtaining 'white privilege'. Unfortunately, only Asians (other than whites) seem to have embraced these values. African Americans seem to violate all 6 premises on a continual basis. Oh well, so much for transferring white privilege to them. But I will be hoping it will happen, someday.
Cheers

I still say "privilege" has to do with income, not skin color or anything people seem to attribute to any race or culture.Β Everyone has a different story to tell.

I've witnessed people in college being interviewed speak of the same privilege. Not just those who have them but also those who don't. Latinos embrace such ideas also and are too reaping the reward when they have a family supporting them.Β
This would be the absolutely frustrating thing about the BLM. The desire to destroy the family structure when 85% of kids in prison are in fact fatherless. What? Who is running this cause and why?Β
I did not get to enjoy this privilege, far from it. I did however recognize it so I vowed my path to be different and so my kids are recipients of this privilege. I bestow this privilege upon young men I find the chance to in my life. While I broke the cycle on my own that is not the norm. What I can do is reach out to people and mentor them. These guidelines are very reasonable.Β

Almost all of that is utter BS.
I'm white.Β I raised my daughter alone after my husband - yes, we were married - walked out to live with his girlfriend after ten years of marriage.Β I had a very good education but my loving parents encouraged me to get good grades and pass exams - it was not that they refused to tolerate anything less.
I too encouraged my daughter to be the best that she could be - but due to ill-health she's not always worked full weeks throughout her adult life.Β Neither of us have ever broken the law - in fact, we both now work in the legal system.
Being white hasn't helped me with any of that.Β My cousin, who is black, is very similar and has led a very similar life.Β The notion of white privilege as YOU see it, is pure BS.

lol. there is no such thing as white privilege. that is propaganda pushed by far left anti americans who attack the history of the country in the hopes of changing it into a socialist/communist country.

So you haven't used your get out of free jail card for raping a teenage girl four times, huh.Β
Sounds more like your privilege is living in your mom's basement, oblivious to the real world.
