Inception

Sure, there are references to the issue like with Chris Rock quote in the meme I just posted (and I dare anyone to disagree with him on that point, go ahead, I dare ya), but despite living in the Bronx and passing more so-called black and whatever other nicely tanned minorities in a day everyday than most of these whiners here will in a lifetime COMBINED, I've never heard anyone say it other than on social media platforms like this and only by those playing the sadly laughable victim of reverse discrimination card.

Sure, there's probably SJW types pipping it too, and maybe there are some of these boogeyman minorities taking away this sacred white priviledge grumbling it, but I've just never heard the term outside of the artificial realm of the interwebz. Whatever.

Anyways, just my experience. I'm sure someone will post some Mustapha Jackson blognut's diatribe proving that the black man is sticking it to the man causing Mt St Helen's sized eruptions of salted snowflakes to instantly vaporize, but so what. If you really think them dark folks got no historical grievances and disenfranchising societal pressures to complain about, dafuq problem you got? If they should do it, so should you. Unplug it, stop complaining, and take a walk out in the world.

That is a sad story

Thx, but no thx.

The dems are partially to blame for it. They still want to keep blacks enslaved, but to the government rather than individuals.

You are closer to the bottom than the top.

Two types of Republicans: The rich minority, and the vassal majority with deluded aspirations.

Black support to democrats has always amazed me, lack of self respect aside, it is madness to stick to a proven failure and worse to welcome self bondage.

so true, it really is madness

I wasn't born in the south but decided to live out my life here because the people here are all about faith, family and fun, you mock them but they are by far the best people on the planet, honest, hard working, they don't need much and are happy to share what little they have. Stop mocking and learn from them.

I always loved those, "I'm not a *insert whatever here* buuuuut...." bow legged statements.

Explain please, what should they be?

Every religion was used to encourage slavery of one group or another, islam still has plenty, the rest of the world's major religion has ended slavery. The original religion of Africa was animal worship, which one do you think they should worship? I kinda lean toward a lion.

I have been to Africa many times, they have thought for themselves. Christianity didn't start as all white, it was just for all. African's embraced it just as they did any modern tool, computers, phones etc, everything is a tool, how it is used is an individuals choice.

I care more about today's slaves than the past, I can't change the past, just learn from it. To answer your question, Somalia, Djibouti and Egypt.

WOW. LOL

I don't think they care enough to worry about whether or not they are enslaved. When you look at the negative progression they made in unemployment (even throughout the Obama years) the percentage per capita imbalance for government entitlements. Not to mention the degradation of inner city schools by way of liberal policy and the never-ending stream of lawsuits levied at school districts by way of the ACLU leading to the kids having far less boundaries than the teachers as well as taking away from teacher salaries leading to good people leaving or never bothering to enter the system.

Nice Silicon valley, where SOOOOOOO many minorities live :) The biggest one-off in the country and you're using it to say i'm being selective about locations when I didn't even offer one as an example? Watch what happens to Seattle ofver the next decade, yet another liberal shining light. Amazon and Starbucks both were threatening to relocate just last week over the proposed 500.00 per head employment tax. Tell me about how great Baltimore is seeing that the city has been liberal run for dacades and sits in THE richest area of the country. Come on brother I know you got better than "silicon valley".

But you still cite one success vs 3 fails even when you try to explain, which suggests to me subconsciously even you know the liberal city model isn't working. Also yes, since you live there you know as well Silicon Valley is a one off. It's not just the minimum wage in Seattle, they went after a 500.00 bounty on the heads of every employee working at the area's largest employers. By the way Baltimore isn't in one of the wealthiest areas of the country, it is in THE WEALTHIEST state in the country. I can tell you right now Houston ain't the utopia you're looking for. It was as bad as Philly and Baltimore when I was running credit apps at Dish.

Obama years? So after a whole decade of nothing the economy just suddenly blossomed because Trump waved his hand?
Goverment fiscal policy is not set daily, it is is set in ADVANCE, as in the year prior. 2017's was set in 2016.
The economy has been growing since the Great RECESSION ended. Just because Obama didn't rave about himself on Twitter every 5 minutes about it doesn't mean it wasn't happening.
The economy is cyclical. We have been in an upswing. You can put a bankruptcy prone moron in Office and it would still be doing well. Oh, wait...

The economy is 70% consumer driven. Fact is, no one in gov't has much effect on it other than the Chairman of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates, affecting money borrowing and thus spending. Deregulation, etc, may have some effect, but witness eventual downturns and those effects seem not so major. Primarily they exacerbate ups and downs, thus spurts are met by harsher dips, over time worsening the overall economic picture, basically in a continous (albiet with bumps) downturn with a shrinking middle class and prospects and increasing poverty.

Translation, whatever Trump himself didn't even claim to do to for 'black' unmeployment didn't happen, unless simply taking credit for something that took you by surprise counts.

Degradation of inner city schools? That's worse than segregation? LIBERAL policy? Like desegragation?
Don't know where teacher salaries are being taken away, or by what/whose policy. Once they have tenure, they've got it made. Parents are less involved, so no one cares.

Maryland is 8th. Gentrification has made parts of Baltimore shiny. Post War flee to suburbia turned inner cities sour, not lib policies.

I realy don't know why NYC - only the center of the planet - is routinely left out of these discussions other than it would end said discussions.

This Dem vs Rep myth is exactly that. Witness the ooh-don't-hurt-my-arm oddly eager compliance of Democrats. I really have no idea why people spout charges without ever thinking that maybe, just maybe, they're right. They, like their Republican pals, are beholden to their corporate sponsors and THEIR interests, not some clueless plebs who think they own them just because they cast a tiny vote. Electoral College, gerrymandering, the Red/Blue State con, etc have rendered voting into little more than an agreement to the status quo with the occasional blip. No matter who's at helm, it's business as usual.

I remember how excited about my 401k I got, the day after Obama took office and the stock market went on year+ long rally. The bonus I received after Obama cut taxes allowed me to buy that new fridge I wanted and my company reinvested it's savings into the new building and I got the promotion I had been waiting years for because now there was room for a new position. I really loved it when Obama rescinded all those executive orders that were holding back economic expansion. Oh wait... none of that happened during the Obama years. Meanwhile during his tenure economists everywhere were asking why the economic recovery was taking so long. I know you don't want to give Trump any credit at all, or Reagan who made the Clinton economy possible by your measure.

I don't believe I said anything about desegregation is your intent to make this about race and suggesting that adding blacks to all schools led to the decay of the education system? I certainly did not. I stated very clearly what I felt led to the degradation of schools. Tenure by nature is a liberal policy no matter who initiated it. Conservatives have long been asking for a merit based system. If you think a teacher has it made you haven't talked to any lately, especially those in the inner city. Your last paragraph... i'm not even going there as there is enough to this conversation already.

Great Recession that was almost a depression, halting the procession of that was one thing, springing out wasn't expected any time soon, but 2012 does seem so forgotten ago.

Bush W, 2nd yr, you got a letter with a check for a whopping $250! YAYA.
Obama H, 2nd yr, you did NOT get a letter to announce a tax rebate of an avg $2500. Yes, $25o0 - that extra "0" wasn't a typo.

Reaganomics sprang then crashed bad - exacerbating the usual contraction. It cost George HW a 2nd term. We were exiting that recession near the end of his term, but like Obama, being a more modest man and growth not at glamming speed yet, unnoticed it went.

Bill/Hill, Republicans in disguise? Did everyone forget that? And yes, he did inherit GWH BUSH'S upswing in the economy, Reagan was gone, Savings & Loans Crisis and other wreckage under repair, tho not totally, as those deregulations, added to by Clintons's & then Bush W's nearly turned 2008 into a depression.

I live in the Bronx. I'm related to teachers. One of my best buds from HS that I stayed in contact long after college also worked for the Board of Ed, as well as a couple of other people in the building I used to live at across from MS 45... Granted, We didn't talk paychecks, but they weren't dirt poor. Main problem was unruly ghetto rat students.

You know who else taught in the Big Bad Boogie Down? The infamous 'Columbine Teacher' who lost her measly $64,000 p/yr gig after 10yrs. Not as much as they pay in Canada, but double what I thought they made here.
My cousin and a close family friend retired from theirs in their 50s with sweet pensions & bonus inducement to retire early.

Segregation was in comparison, and reminding of a lovely conservative policy.

Again, economy is 70% consumer driven. Before the Great Recession, folks were redoing kitchen every 2 yrs, buying, flipping houses, investing in Fla condos, etc. Did they all run out of money simultaneously? No, rumor spread that all these morons overspent on real estate and on the hot potato toxic assets derivatives pyramid scheme, and they decided soon to be maxed out credit card #8 was one too many, so they decided to stop paying and everything crashed. It didn't have to, but there was no Reagan to Trump to tell the brainless minions to keep throwing their borrowed money away pretending it was theirs and they were rich.

In other words, image vs reality goes a long way. Just ask cowboy Ron about Lebanon.

no Reagan or* Trump to tell

As for my last paragraph, Hillary won more votes, yes? If it wasn't for the disaster that is the dismantling of the USA, I'd think that'd make Trump a worthy win, shooing her away.

Now if we can just get Trumpites to stop hickuping her with dials turned up too 11 so I won't have to wretch at the thought of her constantly too...

'scuse any repetition, but even I get bored rereading my drivel...

that took him* by surprise

really*

really its not oct. Jon=)

LOL, yeah I know... sosmetimes I can't help myself :)

Never mind me. Tired, low on caffeine and oxygen, so that was a tad unfocused and rambling. Would've not posted if I hadn't wasted so much time on it.

ROFL!!! And if I had read this first, I probably would have let it go! :)

The Indians had great success at Little Big Horn, it was a rout! You are still struggling to add another success story other than Silicon Valley.
And the fuggin Obama mandated the Houston heat :) As for Seattle, today they announced almost doubling local taxes on individuals as well. Sometimes the bill comes due!

Republicans LOVE to refer to lefties as dumb ignorant nobodies while they ignore the fact California has America's largest economy and it's like in the top 10 globally

Prove to me with facts that republicans are not enslaved as well. Our Constitution was shredded a long time ago by both parties

40.2 percent of SNAP recipients are white, 25.7 percent are black, 10.3 percent are Hispanic, 2.1 percent are Asian and 1.2 percent are Native American.

Not only did that have nothing to do with the meme but it also proved my actual point, white privilege is a out and out lie, it does not exist, thanks for helping me out.

Here are some more facts:
76.9% of Americans are white, and 13.3% are black. There are nearly 5.8 times as many whites as blacks, but only about 1.6 times as many whites as blacks are SNAP recipients.
Of the approximately 43 million people on food stamps, about 17 million are white, and about 11 million are black. That means just over 7% of whites are on food stamps and over 32% of blacks are on foods stamps.

And in case you're thinking of asking if these stats came from Wikipedia, I'll go ahead and provide some links.
https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/table/US/PST045216
https://www.fns.usda.gov/pd/supplemental-nutrition-assistance-program-snap

These are facts the dems don't want people to know. They never take into account the proportionate amount of government handouts.

facts for the win!

I agree that many non-white people in America have it rough, but as I said, the party to blame isn't white people; it's selfish politicians.

Everybody is at fault, from the powers that be to citizens that benefit from it to those that victimize themselves by it. History and the remnants of a slowly fading status quo cannot be denied.

White privilege isn't my fault...

The disparity is not from "privilege", but from "discrimination".
This is an important distinction because if you fight discrimination, you are trying to lift people up by removing unfair obstacles.
If you fight privilege, you are trying to drag those that are doing better down for the sake of equalization, but do nothing to improve the situation of those without privilege.

Dude...why ya gotta bring facts to a mud-slinging fight???

Because facts pack a punch!

I know that looked really good for your cause in the old Huff-Post. However lets look at real numbers. Pesky little things like per capita mean something to people who want to be honest with numbers. Lets start with per capita of people ever having received snap benefits:
White 15%
Hispanic 22%
Black 31 %

Welfare numbers (not per capita),
White – 38.8% ....... 62% of population
Black – 39.8% ...... 12% of population
Hispanic – 15.7%....18% of population
Asian – 2.4% .......... 5% of population
Other – 3.3%

2016 median household income:
Asian: ......81,431
White:.......65,041
Hispanic:..47,675
Black:.......39,490

I hate to call YOUR genius with numbers into question though.

That a disproportionate number of traditionally disenfranchised minorities recieve public assistance is indication that they live in poverty, hardly the best way to disprove the white priveledge myth.
Thank goodness you didn't include Injuns on the rez!

I'm pissed about that Asian privilege. But keep that white privilege crutch handy, since you can't walk on your own.

priviledge*
