    I don't know but maybe asking the question 3 times will get it answered faster.

    Not one person who has come in this thread to argue against white privilege has presented any facts, any documentation, anything..except their opinion on the black people who utter the word.

    WHY IS IT SO HARD?

    The whole idea of white privilege just seems racist. It suggest that we shouldnt complain about anything because we got it made. I just think its wrong to assume that if a white person becomes more successful then a black person its because of privilege. Everyone has equal opportunity in 2015. So to suggest that we can do anything and get away with because were white is false and insulting.

    What facts or documentation are you looking for.. Its a matter of opinion. Do you think its right that I am considered hateful for having this opinion that white people do not have everything handed to them?

    So the admittance of white privilege diminishes your accomplishments?


    LITERALLY Anything that can counter the argument of the existence of white privilege. for example i can cite dozens of articles and studies about the difference in experience for white people and black people. ACTUAL scientific data that suggests white people are treated differently than black people. Is there anything out there you can find that discredits the validity of white privilege? And NO I appreciate your opinion and that's why I'm asking questions, but the discussion is counterintuitive if your only response is "well I've never seen or experienced it so it doesn't exist" that's not helping either side understand.

    I'm not having a debate with you. You're a racist for making judgments on a group of people. This thread should be locked.

    i don't really like jumping in these conversations because i can never tell who's being serious, but I'm curious/wanna ask some questions.
    just a question those who don't think white privilege and institutional racism exist. you guys believe that: slavery (of black people in america) is pretty much irrelevant to society today, we all have equal opportunity, and all problems the black community have are not caused by oppression. right?

    None of my comments have said anything negative about any group of people...I LOVE ALL PEOPLE. But that's fine if you feel that way


    And btw you sir are immature for resorting to name calling to end the conversation.

    The problem in the black community is parenting. Black people have been forced the idea that they are disadvantaged because there skin color. That's not true in 2015. Everyone has a fair shot at anything and no one has more privileges then others based on skin color.

    I dunno I mean me and you could be somewhat similar. Our countries of birth (or origin) in your case being total s--- holes but we (or our families rather) moved out to a better country etc

    Could have stayed behind and blamed everything under the sun about our circumstances but what would that have achieved?
