On White, Male, Privledge...

75. oh, I very much give a shit

I have torn the data apart and found it to be lacking.

I think the nonsense about "women are paid less for the same work" is mostly nonsense, and maybe happens to "highly paid women". The problem is not that "I don't give a crap". The problem is that I disagree with something that some people are heavily in to promoting.



It is certainly NOT all about me. It is even more about the 30% of male households who have less than $5,000 in net worth. I happen to be a long way from that group. It's about men who are so privileged they get killed or severely disabled on the job.

Okay, I actually am in that group. I was killed on the job in 2007.

But really, this zombie life is not all that bad.

It's just not privileged.

Nor, thank you very much, for implying it, did I ever say those things. That women are never raped. That slavery never existed. Or that African Americans are never oppressed.

I never said any of that.

In fact, I said quite clearly that they are right here in post #7 which you presumably read "I would never say there are inherent advantages to being a minority."

See what I said there? I said, basically, "it kinda sucks to be a minority".

and just in case you still want to deny it or pretend I said the opposite. I will say it again.

It kinda sucks to be a minority.

But that does NOT mean that low income white people are more privileged than high income black people.
