Cdub100 3,366 Posted May 26, 2017 And THAT is the definition of white privilege. Thanks for proving my point. It's a privilege we don't commit nearly as much crime? That used to be called being a good person but I guess it's white privilege now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cyclone24 1,794 Posted May 26, 2017 So please enlighten us. List all the benefits you receive from being white. Go...You guys act like if I go shopping I get 20% off for being white. A lot of it is not very obvious. I'm probably not going to get pulled over for no reason. I'm probably not going to get followed in a store shopping. I'm probably not going to have security or police eyeballing me. I will guarantee I've gotten out of tickets driving that a black person probably would not get. I mean I have pumped gas and left the store and a day later called them and told them I forgot to pay and they acted like it was no big deal just to come in and pay it. Do you think Tyrone from the hood gets that treatment? No freaking way. Privilege I receive is the benefit of the doubt in every situation. It's nothing really tangible. And again I'm not beating this drum of in equality or racism or anything I'm just saying let's not act like it doesn't exist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leroy driving a relatively new car on his way home from work isn't getting pulled over. Most cops don't even know the color of your skin until you are pulled over. But homeboy with a broke down Caddy driving on 22's is getting pulled over yeah, we all know whats up. Same thing would happen if he was white, it just so happens that there are more black people who take part in this behavior. They glorify bad behavior and doing bad things.

iam90sbaby 2,120 Posted May 26, 2017 I have a question. Are there any police departments that are predominately black officers? If so, I wonder if their percentages are similar to a department with predominately white officers. I bet they are. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you ever seen a black person that genuinely tries to be a contributing member of society get the shaft because of a white guy? I haven't. I have however seen a white guy not get hired ONLY because the company has a minority quota to meet. Black thugs get the same treatment as white thugs, there just happens to be a lot more of them.

Want to hear about the time I was on a first date, we pulled over to change CD's, and a cop just pulled up right behind us and put his lights on? Did he think I was black? A black guy in a suit driving normally isn't getting pulled over for no reason. Same with shopping. It's not about their color. It's about how they dress and how they come off. A white punk in saggy pants, a wifebeater, and a sideways baseball cap is going to get pulled over for no reason more than the black guy I described above. He's also going to get followed/profiled by security in stores, etc.......Again, not the color, but how you come off and/or dress. And deservedly so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
