This is for those who don't think there is any such thing as White Privlege

[noiretextatique]

23. it surprises me that so many white people in america

a country with a long and ugly racial history cannot separate themselves from the history...and current reality. i think it speaks volumes about our educational system, and the successful use of race by the ruling class to divide and conquer. white privilege is a concept that is best understood with the context of a system, not in the context of individuals. for example, george bush, the poster boy for rich, white, male affirmative action, "acheived" what he did because of the family he was born into...one that was white and rich. he id the best example of white privilege imaginable. he is from a class of people who have ruled this country since its inception, and even though he is as dumb as a post, and was woefully unqualified to be president, because of his skin color, money, etc., he was president. he was president because the country has always been headed by white men...it was the norm, and still is in many ways. that truth really should not "offend" anyone, nor does it detract from the life experiences of white people who are not rich. here's another example: do you think i could shoot an unarmed white teenager and not get arrested in florida? i don't, but zimmerman, a white hispanic, can still kill an unarmed black teenager, and get a segment of the country to support his actions. if that's not privilege, i don't know what is.
