Editado por Reggie_Wok: 8/12/2016 12:44:09 AM[quote]The belief that the cops will protect and serve you[/quote] This is not a "privilege" but rather a testament to one's stupidity. If you think cops are out to get you, it's not because you lack privilege, but because you're stupid and think a few high profile cases of cops killing black people is a common occurrence or representative of a majority of run ins with the law, when that's simply not the case. Also, anybody of any race can be killed or belittled by police, including white people. So by your logic we should all be scared. This isn't privilege, but rational thought. More unarmed white people are killed by cops each year than that of any other race. But you never here about the unarmed white people who are killed, and their stories just go on to fade into obscurity. So is it black privilege that people care and do something about it when an unarmed black man is killed by the police, but won't do so for people of other races? Is it a privilege that the media will actually cover the story of a black man's death at the hands of the police when they won't do it for other people of other races? Or is it that white people think rationally and know that they are mostly likely not going to be shot by police or even have a run in if they just don't do anything illegal? [quote]People of your kind running the country[/quote] You must be either fishing for responses or you are really, really stupid. There are tons of people of color in power and positions of government (at least in the US), thusly "running" the country. I feel as if I shouldn't even respond to this because of how stupid it is. So I guess this is a privilege that just about everyone shares, except maybe minorities that make up 2% of the populations or some incredibly small number like that. This is not "white privilege" because everyone holds this "privilege," if you can even call it that. Everyone is able to run for positions of power in government and succeed. It's really up to the individual, not some invisible privilege or lack there of. Do you even need me to point out examples of people of color in positions of power, because if you do, you are just looking for discrimination and claiming it even where there is none in order to further push your narrative. I mean what do you expect? That country's majority group of people don't run for government or hold any positions of power? Come on. Of course white people are going to be in powerful positions when they are the majority in the country. That's not because of privilege, it's because of circumstance and statistical probability. [quote]No white people eliminating your history via cultural appropriation[/quote] Again, you are either fishing for responses or just really, really stupid. Please, give me an example of where cultural appropriation, which is the dumbest bullshit I've ever heard, actually eliminates someone's history? Last time I checked, borrowing and mixing aspects of someone else's culture into yours was not exclusively done by white people, and was symptomatic of a healthy society that adapts over time. Nobody's history is being erased or forgotten, and you have no right to dictate what people can and can't do in their lives. Borrowing culture is not a "privilege" because it is not exclusive to any one group. People who don't like it when other people adopt parts of their culture are just segregationists. What's that? You don't want people culture mixing? You want them to be separate? You don't want people sharing aspects of their culture or taking aspects form another? So what should we do? Keep people separate? That's not only counter productive, but it's a segregationist policy and mindset. And let me guess, it's only disrespectful or intolerant when a white person borrows from someone else's culture, not the other way around, right? Because white privileges, right? Please, come back with an actual example of "white privilege." You know what? I probably won't even respond. It's just not worth my time dealing with someone like you.

I kinda knew this was bait, but couldn't be sure. You will see this if you read my post. I see people who really believe this shit, and it's quite infuriating how stupid they are.
-
Are you implying that people of color have never had any impact on how the country works today? I'm assuming that's what you meant by "your kind". How was your history taken away by adopting parts of one anothers culture?
-
By culturally appropriating(i.e white people w/ dreads) you are stealing culture, which is racist
-
So I guess black people really aren't racist then? I don't see them culturally appropriating white people's jobs. Jk.
-
What makes a job specifically for whites? Makes no sense.
-
What makes braids only for black people?
-
You're comparing two completely different things
-
-
I'm pretty sure if you refuse to hire employees who aren't white, it's illegal. But with braids nobody gives a shit. There's one thing you can't do and the other you can.
-
You completely missed the point. He said it's racist for white people to have braids because it steals their culture. I made the joke that obviously black people aren't stealing white culture in means of jobs. Meaning there is a portion of black people who don't want to work a legal job. I don't know where the hell you're getting job discrimination.
