If you don't believe in (recognize) white privilege why the fuck are you on a Democratic Forum?

72. I do believe that I have had advantages from being white.

I also have worked in traditionally male jobs where I was the sole female. And I have to say that on mixed crews, I was low man on the totem pole. Testosterone trumps racism when it comes to women. And this white male privilege is also more often granted to white men who toe the line. Laugh at the sexism, racism, etc.. But the minute you challenge authority, you will lose your privilege on the job. Many people who have worked in different situations know this. Go along to get ahead. Ugh!!!!
But I see 2 generalizations in your post which are patently untrue.
This one in particular "his white counterparts will always be viewed as an individual and judged on their credentials", is complete BS. Obviously you have never actually held a job with office or managerial politics at play. And I have yet to see a work environment where that does not factor into your life.

And your other generalization is awful-"all those poor ass white folks in the south during Jim Crow considered themselves equal to "N*ggers". Hell NO! They knew they were privileged because of their white skin. They desperately wanted to hold on to that privilege."

All those poor ass white folks did not have any power to do much. It was not the poor folk who were organizing against blacks. That was the town leaders.
Do I have to tell you that the south has a history of abuse towards whites who do not support racism? Get a clue. Read your history. Good luck speaking out against the abuse from the town leaders and getting a job.
Before the war people were run out of Virginia, driven from their homes because they opposed slavery.


You do not speak for the democratic party. You only speak for yourself.

This is the fundamental argument of the GOP. WTF does that mean?
