White privilege.

Post by Petingo »

White privilege is a thing.

It exists in the mindset of every racist and is the reason so many of the Trump Insurrectionist Army ransacked the Capitol with faces uncovered in the belief that they were untouchable in the dystopian Blue Velvet America that Trump has given them this past four years.

It is beyond comprehension that any person of colour, pictured in a BLM riot for instance, would go on TV and say this, most sincerely and with a straight face.

Or let’s be honest about it, would even be given a TV platform to say it in ‘t first place.

There is rich and poor in all creeds and colours. Privelige based on colour is the biggest divisive nonsense ever uttered.

I think the problem is that white privilege is something people don’t really understand (not helped by lunatic middle class SJW types from American Universities online going mental calling everything white privilege).

I saw it nicely summed up once:

White privilege isn’t about the things which you do experience, nor is it about material wealth, it’s about the things which you don’t have to experience.

It’s NOT being followed in shops by security, it’s people NOT crossing the road when they see a group of you gathered on a corner, it’s people NOT making assumptions on your character based on your skin colour.

People don’t believe it exists because it’s so invisible. You don’t notice it when you are the one benefiting from it precisely because there’s no tangible benefit unless it’s compared to the treatment of minorities.

No, it isn't. 'Privilege' is an overly used and misunderstood buzzword. The Oxford English Dictionary describes 'privilege' as a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group. If we examine 'privilege' critically and take this definition into account, African-Americans are privileged compared to Somalians and Haitians and other people of colour in the world's poorest countries.
Thought of the day: Privilege, like oppression, can be fractionated infinitely.

Really? 'White' Americans and Brits suffer homelessness, unemployment, obesity. Let's blame the human condition, then.

Although there is plenty of evidence that anonymised recruitment processes interviews more people from none white backgrounds.

no white priv in silicon valley

active pro n - wording and discrimination

the days of the white man are numbered

conquered the world

invented everything

but comfort zone

dilution via infiltration, dilution via law, dilution via politics etc


I wonder if white priv is isolated to countries that used to be predominantly white

is white priv global, or isolated to specific countries

how many billion on the planet?...is everyone bowing down or just a select precious few?

all started when middle distance running for the priv ended in the last part of the 80's

Chairman Trudeau got around it by blacking up multiple times....and got away with that, too


the fight was over long ago, simply prep, arm yourselves and live as much of your remaining white life as you possibly can

globalism, we love you

Denying the existence of white privilege is the most effective way of preserving it.

Indeed, and it crosses all dividers.

If you want to see some privilege, then check out the group which is today's elite footballers. They do not need to adhere to the Covid social distancing rules, they can hug and slobber over each other and flob where they want.

Those who put everyone in the same group are really just pushing an agenda. What other reason could they have, because it's nonsense.

White Privilege

Sam Fender

Start up my motor, eat, drink some burgers and cola
Feed my addictions and vices, oh, how my iPhone entices
My echo chamber media, regurgitated trivia
Befall the left and the right, catered for privileged whites
Signing online petitions, thinking I'm making a difference
Don't wanna hear about Brexit, them old cunts fucked up our exit
My generation was duped, the youth were left out the loop
Lies on both sides of the fence left me completely bereft
My bio reads public figure, light and full, check out my figure
Don't even know why they're famous
But God, they're so entertaining
I wanna copy what you eat, how you look, who you fuck
Wanna be anybody but me
I wanna be anybody but me
I wanna be anybody but me
Wanna be anybody but me
Wanna be anybody but me…

White Privilege? Tell that to the 12m white people living in poverty in the UK
When your heart is blue, there is nothing you can do. Keep Right On
