The racist left

[Pavlov]

Oh look, some professor said something that will go absolutely nowhere. Racism on the left has run amok!

If Trumpistas aren't triggered regularly enough, they look around for a way to trigger themselves.

False. I've talked to a professor that has said the exact same thing in the past. It was a directive to discriminate against white men.

Sample of two. Must be an epidemic among liberals.

Muh anecdote!

It really doesn't take much critical thought to figure out what the recipe of white guilt, white privilege, male privilege, cis gender privilege, virtue signaling, and drives for equality of outcome are going to lead to. It leads to discrimination. I don't need idiot professors to tell me that they were directed to discriminate.

[boutons_deux]

yep, racism died the day LBJ signed the civil rights act

sounds like the oligarchy's SCOTUS5 position when they gutted the Voting Rights Act, Kennedy's majority opinion lying that America had come a long way (so voter suppression of blacks was no longer a problem)

Everything you post makes you out to be the victim tbh.

Did you get beat out of a casino job or something?

what are some "privileges?"

- it's pretty rare for a white person to be in a group of some sort (classroom, team, club, etc) where you realize that you're the only white person there.

Yeah that was me. I grew up in San Antonio. I was a minority. If you go to Nigeria and look around the classroom you will find very few white people. Considering white people cover close to 60% of the population, this is a rather ridiculous argument and how is it a privilege? This isn't tribal warfare

- when you're part of a group, people dont ask you to somehow speak on behalf of an entire race... "hey chris, what's the white opinion on subject x"

Sounds like something you saw on TV or in a movie. Are you saying this is common for all black/brown people?

- statistically, you you dont have to worry about not getting a job interview because of your name

Apart from a double negative this is again ridiculous. I will admit though if someone is named Mohammed Allahu Akbar I might call for some references.

- people dont question your immigration status based on your appearance/language

People always ask questions. People are nosy. This isn't exclusive to any race.

- if you're walking down the street at night with your friends and a squad car drives along, none of you fear for your safety


Ridiculous blanket statement implying cops are racist. You're on your own here.

- you are statistically likelier to get more lenient sentences for the same crimes than certain minority counterparts

Implying judges are inherently racist too. Wow.

[spurraider21]

a - san antonio is 73% white (23% non-hispanic). that still exceeds national figures for blacks or latinos, and i never said white privilege exists in nigeria

b - im saying it happens. ive seen it happen both at school and in the workplace. and this in liberal LA

c - what does double negative have to do with the veracity of the statement? apparently nothing because you admitted that you'd do the exact thing i was talking about ... thats something a guy with a typical "white" name would never have to deal with

d - people do ask questions sure. but how often, specifically, has your immigration status been called into question, chris?

e - i didnt call cops racist, chris

f - i didnt call judges racist, chris

you keep confusing "white privilege" with "white people are racist"

It's actually a complete stretch to suggest discussions of privilege are meant to lead to imbalance towards whites. Kind of like talking about gun control doesn't mean you want to ban guns. I don't know why it's so hard for you guys to debate anything less than the most extreme scenario.

[spurraider21]

person 1: white privilege is a thing

person 2: STOP CALLING ME RACIST

[vy65]

i dont know that i've ever called you racist. white privilege doesn't mean that while people are racist.

the concept of white privilege isn't a moral accusation against individual people. it's why i dont get offended or defensive despite having white skin.

i dont think it would be accurate to look at "privilege" as a bunch of tangible things literally handed to you. rather, its just a set of stuff that you quite frankly dont have to worry about, that somebody else might. because you've never had to worry about those things happening to you, its not something you consciously think of all the time.

if some white dude is struggling to make ends meet, is exhausted and hungry, and gets home at 11:30pm after a double shift to a home with busted A/C in the middle of july, of course he's not gonna think "man, i'm super in lucky that nobody asked me for 'the white perspective' on an issue today." his life is still tough. he isn't racist. the point is that his day to day issues dont include certain things that are more or less exclusive to some minorities.

Something I always wondered: do us armos have white privilege?

No, it's often used to shutdown the opinion of white people. If you use a useless term to shutup people that disagree with you it's not difficult expect a general trend toward discrimination in other areas. The net result of white guilt is also discrimination. The net result of shooting for equality of outcome is also discrimination.

That's exactly what many people want. Furthermore, the terrible logic that leads one to suggesting what they do on this forum can also be applied to other guns. So it's not a leap, it's the logical next step.

person 2: Black privilege is a thing. American privilege is a thing. Attractive privilege is a thing. Wealth privilege is a thing. Health privilege is a thing. Tall privilege is a thing. Female privilege is a thing. So why are you talking about one useless umbrella term when one could not possibly act on it? Oh, because you want to make white people feel guilty. Get specific or shut up.

[spurraider21]

in person, i'd say so, unless you have a strong accent.

please... do describes the forms of discrimination you face due to your height, wealth, health, and penis

Sorry homie, but that's pretty ridiculous and tone deaf to history.

[Spurminator]

No, it's often used to shutdown the opinion of white people. If you use a useless term to shutup people that disagree with you it's not difficult expect a general trend toward discrimination in other areas.

Please provide a real-world example of how white opinions have been shut down, to illustrate what you mean by shutdown. Has some binding action been taken or are you just talking about being called out on the internet?

The net result of white guilt is also discrimination. The net result of shooting for equality of outcome is also discrimination.

Examples of this?

That's exactly what many people want. Furthermore, the terrible logic that leads one to suggesting what they do on this forum can also be applied to other guns. So it's not a leap, it's the logical next step.

As illustrated by what real world examples?

[ElNono]

The concept of white privilege is merely tactic to maximize white guilt. Blanket terms don't start conversations or create action to solve issues. You have to be specific with the problem if you want to formulate in plan to solve it.

1) start your conversation with a blanket statement
2) explain that blanket terms/statements don't start conversations
3) profit

[koriwhat]

i feel sorry for those that have "white guilt"... to me, all this bs is just exposing the pussies in the white demographic that go along with this bs "white privilege"/"white guilt".

boutons is a great example of one of these losers but on the opposite end where he points fingers at other whites as if he is anything but white himself. i believe "white guilt" is pussy to begin with but boutons level is dangerous.

[boutons_deux]

The racist right doesnt like being called racist so they think they can in that label on the left
