Oh, no. The problem with BLM is that now because they’ve assumed white privilege is so big of an issue, now they don’t give a rip about white people anymore. This was the original reason I hated BLM, before I even knew it was run by Marxists. I could see this very problem coming in the future (it was happening, but not like it is now). All the medias capitalizing black but not white on account of European being capitalized also had me worried about people’s ability to think. Europe is a country. African American are both country-related names. Black and white are not. I had no idea the reverse racism would happen so quickly, though.

For any Democrats reading this, Herman Cain (yes, the one who died of Covid) once was not getting paid as much as a white man in his profession, and instead of assuming it was racism, he asked why he wasn’t getting paid as much, and the boss said it was because the other guy had an MD. So Cain got his MD, and his pay was raised. This was not even recent. This was back in the day.

What I’m trying to say is this: White privilege has not been as big a problem as it was post slavery. Whether you don’t get a job because of your skin color, that’s one person out of 7 billion that made that decision. It doesn’t matter how many people do this to you. 50 is still a small portion of the American population of 330M people. There are always racists out there, but there are also always non-racists out there. And if you actually check why you don’t get something instead of assuming it is out of racism, you might just find a percentage of instances you count as racism aren’t actually out of racism. I am mostly black, and I don’t know anyone who has not gotten a job or got shafted of pay because they weren’t white. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but stop acting like it’s just the norm. You do know we could play ping pong with the whole victim thing for generations, right? If we continue this, one day, when emotional connection to the political push of the day fades, none’ll remember the pains of these days and will victimize whites. Then it’ll happen in reverse again. Victimizing doesn’t help people succeed at all, not even if they’ve actually gone thru hardship. Do you know that some blacks fought to get into major politics right after slavery? I’m not justifying slavery (I would never want it) but if those people could actually fight through prejudice and opposition to succeed and etch their names in our history books, why can’t we?

The only thing in this I don’t agree with 200% is the term “reverse racism”

So why is it that folks complained about their lack of privilege due to their identity?

According to Elizabeth Warren, I can get a native American scholarship. I'm like 1/32 Native America while she's like 1/64 or 1/128 something extremely low like that.

Elizabeth Warren fraudulently claimed she was a native American so she could get into college, but who needs to be bothered with historical facts

I used to work retail. They don't tail everyone, only those people that have been reported to be thieves.
Signs are large, purses, come in groups, loose clothing that can hide stolen merchandise. Has nothing to do with skin color. They used to have me follow all types of people that met those descriptions.

I think they look like a dorky teenager. But I know lots of Black teens and tweens, and none of them are thugs, although some of them like to pretend they are, as do some of the white, Latinx, and Asian kids I know. (And when I think back to what was cool when I was their age, my generation has NO ground to judge them).

Well, then they have a very weird definition of "cool". All I'm saying if you don't want to be stereotyped as a thug then won't dress like one.

Of course, teenagers are BONKERS. But we want to make sure that we aren't confusing youth culture, or Black youth culture with being a thug. (I'm feeling tempted to insert a Kali joke here, but see how I refrain!)

I used to work retail in an area where the population is 90% white (I.E, folks who aren't white are a rarity). We NEVER tailed anyone unless they were actively being suspicious, and the only time that ever turned out to be a legit hunch was when a couple of white teens pulled a knife on our security manager.

Class privilege is more relevant. Poor people get followed more period.
