What I got from the articles was that white privilege is, for example, not getting stared at when you walk into a convenience store. It seems less of a "keep the brothers down" thing, and more of a logical reaction to the behavior or black people. It's not really a "white priviege", but more of a "black
non-privilege."
Asians for example, don't get followed by security guards, and if they move into a neighborhood nobody thinks things are going downhill.
I think if fewer black people stole, behaved in inappropriate manners (for example, yelling in public), and were less of a nuisance than say, asians, there would be less of this "white privilege".

For example, the reason why people are afraid of black people stealing is because sometimes, they DO steal! And at a much greater rate than a similiar looking white or asian guy. The reason why they are more likely to be denied a loan is because more often than for white people, they will default on it!
Just because you point something out doesn't mean it exists for the reason you say it does.
If that's what you got, you need to read that first article again. Alot of the behaviors you mention are not behaviors I see in only blacks. But poor people in general. Yes, I've seen whites talk loud as fuck on cell phones and yell on a train full of people. But that's stupidity and ignorance.
It's just that a disproportionate number of blacks are poor. When you see white people acting the same way and their similarities have to do with their income...you realize that white privilege actually effects whites as well.
One of the reasons alot of people remain poor is-- YOU GUESSED IT! White privilege.

"If" is a very big word. I have come to the conclusion that, in the aggregate, they are genetically incapable of better behavior. I do not hate them for it; they are what their subhuman monkey genes make them.
I do not hate rattlesnakes, fire ants, or rabid dogs, either, but they are not welcome on my property.

Ideal poor job is the military. Steady low income pay, can't get fired unless you really fuck up, and you can advance just by being there long enough.

Don't forget all the benefits that come with seniority there that allow you to muddle up political affairs! Especially if you kiss ass better than any other po' ol' boy. (Ever notice most of the majors and up are from the South? It has nothing at all to do with the fact they're patriotic.)
i'm fairly certin more of the work to reduce racisim is work that will have to be done by the minorities oppressed. while it's true that it's the whites choosing other whites over minorites in these cases, how much of that stems from opinions based on the majority of that person's contact with said group?

Dumbasses, Malcolm X stopped being a member of the NOI to join a proper libertarian civil rights movement and MLK did the same. Both were killed for not being fascists.
The fascist whites and blacks will go to hell, the democratic whites and blacks will go to heaven. If everyone were democratic, god might simply make everyone immortal and call earth heaven because there would be no more bad people.
Fascism: From fasces, a symbol made of birchwood tied together with an axe in the middle, signifying brotherhood, power, and authority. And isn't that what this crazy, wild world needs a little more of? The stern and unapproving glance of a father showing his son how to hunt for the first time, the obedience instilled by a mother's paddle, and the bond between comrades-in-arms that sometimes transcends family itself? This world needs more togetherness, more sentimental feeling, and you will find a stronger source nowhere else.

It will be seen that, as used, the word ‘Fascism’ is almost entirely meaningless. In conversation, of course, it is used even more wildly than in print. I have heard it applied to farmers, shopkeepers, Social Credit, corporal punishment, fox-hunting, bull-fighting, the 1922 Committee, the 1941 Committee, Kipling, Gandhi, Chiang Kai-Shek, homosexuality, Priestley's broadcasts, Youth Hostels, astrology, women, dogs and I do not know what else.

No, political views are either based on what is good or what is evil or stupid and have very strong influences on your actions, so obviously if you are a fascist you will be working towards causing sufferring to happen and spreading hate. If you are a fascist, but never do anything to help fascism and never indirectly kill or hurt anyone unneccesarily you may still go to heaven.
I can't be botherred to list down every single religious belief I have, so just assume the best of me and come up with some legitimate criticism.

MLK was a memeber of the nation of Islam?
No, Malcom X was a fucking crazy asshole. He was the one who wanted to foment revolution, as stupid as that sounds. Yet he was such a hero to so many black people, they have to find some way to put him in the same league as MLK. So what they said was that while MLK showed the peaceful solution, X showed white people the threat of revolution if "their rights kept being denied". Sort of the carrot and the stick thing. A way to reconcile how they felt like bashing whitey upside the head when they wanted to be able to respect their greatest orator.
So that's why there's this huge "black unity" BS thing going on right now. The crazy assholes who want revolution ALSO want to claim the peaceful civil rights movement of MLK as their own; they want to hijack MLK's vision AND continue to chimp out without being thought of as contradictory.

The victor is the just and the vanquish is the evil. If Hitler had won world war 2 we would be considerd a hero.

you know I've been thinking, does anyone else see Saeed of Oz as a less firey but more devout version of Malcolm? I always thought ever since the riot episode that's what they were going for. Anyway, a crazy motherfucker is exactly what the black rights movement appears to have needed, for the alternative brought about by following the peacenik...well, it leaves much to be desired. Perhaps if a revolution had occured and been put down in a bloody enough fashion you wouldn't have so many 'racism doesn't exist except when it's politcally relevant' liberal ostriching going on. Damned whitebread suburbanites use MLK as an excuse for everything being bright and cheerful even when it's clearly not. If they had to see people executed in front of them those blinders would be lost pretty quickly.
Remember: even Malcolm eventually became a peacenick and this is why Elijah Muhammud had him killed.

Of course it is true that some people are more privileged than others but the few examples given here are trivial. It is overwhelmingly obvious you are taking advantage of the anti-racist movement, telling people their ordinary day to day frustrations are due to some conspiracy against them.
Here is the discussion : Are you too free and have nothing better to do than shitposting here? If the answer is yes, then shut down your PC and do some household chore at home or be a volunteer to create a better society.

Well it has been nearly 8 years now, I did eventually focus on other things, I am a chemical engineering graduate and work for a company in the williston shales as well as dabble in stocks.
I still believe that human nature is inclined against vulnerable groups in society, or we would not have seen such discrimination as we have seen in history. Though I now accept that historically victimized groups are just as prone to human nature, by far most progress has been through science, so really this should be the priority and the extremists are wasting their time. Hysteria and preying on people's fears is not the way forward.
