Can someone please let me know what my "white privilege" exactly is so that I can properly respond when I have to apologize for having it?

Example one, Essena O'Neil :D

It is walking around not being thought of as a criminal.It is walking around normally and speaking so people can understand you.It is knowing how to react to things without looking like a jackass.It is having intelligence higher than an animal.It is not looking like a walking turd.

Does it also mean I have to pay for the sins of my forefathers?
Should I also have "white guilt"?

You can post here and remain relatively unmolested.

Oh yes...As we Hebrews had to pay for the sins of our forefathers, so shall you.
"The system" That's white privilege. It's back fired on you and turned against you and you feel hurt and betrayed and are left wondering why like a scorned woman thats been used and thrown away. The reason is, it's time. It's time for the Sons and daughters of Israel to awaken and claim what is theirs.

It's something the left made up. It's kinda like global warming and the Ben Carson "lie". It's bullshit.

Every civilization since the dawn of man kind has had slaves, why should one race be made to feel any worse than the others who've participated

"Are " not "Is"
When you're used to be treated/judged better or at the very least "more fair" than other races, you get used to it to the point you just don't feel you have such privileges.

White privilege is real.
Historically, the white people in the US (So it may well be a US only thing, but I also feel it's in Australia and a few other countries I've visited) don't realize it at this point.
Let's look at history.
The number one way for people in the world to develop true wealth is by property ownership. That ownership has historically been given preference to white people.
After World War 2, as people came back to the US and started making some real money. Mostly white people were given the highest paying jobs.
Then, as people saved enough money to purchase property, there were specific loans which were given to white people and which were specifically designed to keep the loans away from black people.
As such, the wealth inequality of black people was not just "because they were lazy" as some people like to make it to be, and was in fact due to unfair and only more recently decided to be illegal.
Now, this is not to say that the black community does't have its own problems. It damn sure does, but white privilege, does in fact, exist.

What about black privilege?
If I could say the n word it would really help with my rhyme schemes

White privilege is a made-up term to give blacks excuses to be failures. They receive free financial aid that varies from housing, education, affirmative action, etc. They have plenty of oppurtunity. Many of them are just too lazy/unqualified to take advantage of said oppurtunity.
The problem with the black community is that it isn't the intelligent hardworking blacks breeding. It's the lazy ones that are genetically inferior to the entire population that choose to breed. If blacks really wanted their race to prosper, they would stop their lesser brethren from breeding and encourage a eugenic attitude.
Instead they let the most inferior of their kind reproduce like rabbits and it makes their whole race look like a lesser species

The last two paragraphs can be said for whites as well. Really, it's just intelligent people that need to breed. Intelligence has no color.
I believe white privilege is a United States of America thing.
It goes hand in hand with white guilt, and no area is a bigger perpetrator of this than Europe.

Irish catholics were suppressed, not allowed to own land and suffered a famine while exporting food to britain which decimated our population. Irish people were discriminated against, put in servitude and abused when they emigrated to the UK and USA... signs on houses said "no blacks, no irish, no dogs".
Didn't stop Irish people becoming successful abroad and eventually gaining sovereignty. The difference is there was solidarity amongst Irish people abroad, and still is. Blacks seems to kill more blacks and sell more drugs to blacks than anyone else in USA.
Being white is not a passport to privilege. Being black might arouse suspicions and discrimination but it does not mean as a white person you should have any guilt or association with that behaviour if you are innocent of it.

In the 1950s and 60s?
No... By then, the racism was clearly on skin color, much less on the premise of ones religious up bringing.
Remember, no one thought that a Catholic would be President in the turn of the century, yet Kennedy was a Catholic President by 1960.

Look, I'm interracial. Don't get me wrong. I look white and I believe it's helped me in dealings with law enforcement and loans and the like. My brother was renting a house from someone and the owner told him that they were looking for the "right kind of people" , and he was happy to see that my brother fit the bill. (He's actually a shade darker than I am)
Here's the thing though. It exists, but it's not an excuse for the way that the black community lets itself get destroyed from within.
Perpetuating gang violence still? Why? No reason.
Allowing prison culture to permeate the community at large? That's ridiculous.
Having more respect for someone who recently got out of jail than someone who got out of college? Insanity.
Not taking care of their families. - I have 2 kids. They live kind of far away, but I fly across country every month to be a father and take care of them. I do it because 1. I love them and 2. My own mother would disown me if I was not a part of my kid's lives. (That's not true, she would probably beat me with a baseball bat for being a deadbeat though.)
Where is the black community standing up and shouting for their own men to take care of their families. Stop having a bunch of kids you aren't taking care of. Women who have 10 kids by 5 different fathers. This is also insanity.
Certainly while it's true that the "white man" has systematically oppressed the black communities previously, that does not mean that the black communities aren't also systematically oppressing themselves.
They are.

You could at least google the Irish famine to find it was 1840s to 1850s.... even taking Kennedy as an example he had to constantly say he put the constitution before his religion. Ridiculous given the caliber of fundamentalists in the White House.
Discrimination happens for reasons other than colour. Just accept it. Over here if you have the wrong accent (strong north dublin) accent it will preclude you from some jobs, if you don't know people you've no hope here. It happens everywhere and for every reason.
That said if i lived as a black in USA, led a good life and was pulled over a few times by cops for searches i would prob begin to get an idea. That is if it happens to you. I have been abused on here for being Irish, no shame, just dismissed the people saying it. In real life havent experienced it tbh, but my dad's generation and even after did. My brother was searched and treated like shit travelling to UK during IRA campaign just for being Irish. So were most Irish in UK back then (1970s to early 1990s).

Why do you bring up the Irish Potato Famine? Because that's when a large group of immigrants came from Ireland to the US. Yes, they did, but my point as that even at the turn of the 20th century circa 1900, the Irish were certainly oppressed, but by the 1950s, they were not.
It was almost all based on skin color by that time.
You are completely missing the point I'm making, but that's ok. No one ever changes their mind on a message board.
Did you even read my entire post?
Most of the last post was about how the black community hasn't helped themselves either.
People really do only read or comprehend the parts they decide to.

What is the thread title? White privilege. It did not go far then, it changed and i say that is due to solidarity. In 1950s Irish were suppressed in UK and elsewhere esp cos we stayed neutral in WW2 (despite only making our constitution in 1937).
Look i get (as much as i can from here) being black or a woman means you have to deal with shit white men dont have to but.... why should whites be penalised for it? Or made feel guilty? Just get a fair justice system and education in place and it will improve. Don't burn shops and steal tvs and expect people to call it a protest.

Why do you assume because you look white that it has helped you not be discriminated against? Maybe you act like you have sense, don't sag your pants, tilt your car seat all the way back when you drive, etc. Maybe you act like a decent human being and not someone from the ghetto. Too many times a black person blames their blackness and not their attitude/behavior.
People like you assume something is going to happen as a result of being black, so when you do something wrong like speeding, you say it's because you were black and not because you were going 90 in 70 mph zone.
Same thing with your brother's situatuon. Did he actually say he didn't want to rent to negros, or did you and your brother just infer this?
Sounds like you have a real chip on your shoulder and maybe you should be more open minded. Maybe next time someone doesn't like soemthing about you, try and analyze it being soemthing other than your race. When you assume something before it happens, you insult the other person in the process

I agree with you on white privilege as well as the black community needing to help themselves. An example I use are the drug laws and prison system. I personally don't think people should be in jail for weed. Not for smoking it, possessing it or selling it. I don't care of it's an ounce or 10lbs. One of the complaints is about how many black people are in jail for non violent drug offenses. That to me sucks. However, they all know what the laws are. Selling weed is illegal. Possessing large amounts of it is illegal. So guess what? Don't fucking do it. I don't do drugs. Never have, never will. Not talking testosterone and the ilk for the record. My work has a random drug testing policy and people still get fired for violating it. Yes, it sucks that if you smoke weed on your weekend off and get tested on Monday or Tuesday you can lose your job, but they all know what the rules are. So don't fucking do it.

You seriously didn't read a word I said.
Fucking Christ.
This is the problem with Race relations as a whole.
People will only pay attention to the bits they want to.
I put just as much blame on black people as white people. You really only read the bits that make you want to.
Why do I even bother.

White privilege is the privilege of getting jumped by a gang of Hebrews and when you go to the police precinct they laugh at you for being dumb enough to be in that neighborhood.

This thread has given me way too many different answers.
Now I am even more confused about all my white privileges and guilt. ???
Might kill myself.
But I will go out in Black Face when I pull the trigger.

I read your post in its entirety multiple times over because you seem to be one of the more level headed guys on this board even though I don't agree with your political stances on most issues.
I cited the parts I disagreed wiith, as I grew up in the south and have seen blacks lack accountability for their actions and always point towards racism before analyzing what else might be the root cause. You stated that you think you get treated better because you don't look as black, and your brother received preferential treatment for the same reason. The problem is you are jumping to conclusions based on zero evidence and it is says a lot about your opinion of the general white population, that you think you would get treated vastly different if you were darker.
It's been my experience that blacks are more racist towards mixed people such as yourself and blacks are more openly racist in general. Take this board for example. Blacks whine about the racism that exist on this board amongst white members, yet a relatively small population of this white board post racist stuff. On the otherhand, almost every single openly black member post racially charged subject matter.
Black have an entitlement attitude as a whole, and as such have a chip on their shoulder as you seem to do. Every time something doesn't go their/your way, you assume racism to be the culprit.
You are very narrow minded in that you think not looking like a negro is the only reason you get treated better than other blacks when it likely has more to do with your individual attitude

Not really true.

Welp, that is not a pic of the man. The first permanent photograph was made in 1822.
The famous Anthony Johnson and John Casor is from 1655.
Now slavery in Latin America and the Caribbean was already in full swing.
Some interesting info on both

Welp, that is not a pic of the man. The first permanent photograph was made in 1822.
The famous Anthony Johnson and John Casor is from 1655.
Now slavery in Latin America and the Caribbean was already in full swing.

If this is true, are we to assume this is another black looking to cause drama for no reason just as the one did a few weeks back, by posting kkk signs everywhere on campus. It was a big deal when they thought it was a white guy posting the signs, but it was a joke and not newsworthy when we found out it was a black guy.
This is typical pro-black/anti-white behavior for all these blacks to join in this white hate mob and organizing a career lynching of a man that looks to have done nothing wrong. They don't have to knows the facts of the case, they are just fine knowing they get to point the finger at whites and riot

I read your post in its entirety multiple times over because you seem to be one of the more level headed guys on this board even though I don't agree with your political stances on most issues.
I cited the parts I disagreed wiith, as I grew up in the south and have seen blacks lack accountability for their actions and always point towards racism before analyzing what else might be the root cause. You stated that you think you get treated better because you don't look as black, and your brother received preferential treatment for the same reason. The problem is you are jumping to conclusions based on zero evidence and it is says a lot about your opinion of the general white population, that you think you would get treated vastly different if you were darker.
It's been my experience that blacks are more racist towards mixed people such as yourself and blacks are more openly racist in general. Take this board for example. Blacks whine about the racism that exist on this board amongst white members, yet a relatively small population of this white board post racist stuff. On the otherhand, almost every single openly black member post racially charged subject matter.
Black have an entitlement attitude as a whole, and as such have a chip on their shoulder as you seem to do. Every time something doesn't go their/your way, you assume racism to be the culprit.
You are very narrow minded in that you think not looking like a negro is the only reason you get treated better than other blacks when it likely has more to do with your individual attitude
No. This is not me being narrow minded.
This is me knowing the area and the people who live in it.
This also doesn't reflect the unfair loan practices that caused a lot of the current "ghetto".
The fact is that people were denied loans based upon their skin color and that it did cause a huge inequality in wealth creation. That inequality in wealth is still felt today.
Certainly the black community has to do better or they will continue to be at the bottom, due to their own stupidity. The black community has to stop the bullshit I posted earlier or they will never achieve equality. No matter how many many policies to create equality are made.
Until the black community decides to stop acting like fools in their own neighborhoods, and work towards education instead of working towards tinting their windows, they will always be on the bottom.
Absolutely they have a large part in their downfall currently, and until they stop playing the victim and start truly working towards doing better, they will always be outside looking in.

Do you suppose debt-to-income ratio and credit score didn't factor into loans at all, maybe even a little more than skin color?

Not in the 50s and 60s. No.
Mortgage discrimination was a well known practice that occurred at the time. These are just facts. Does it happen today? I can't say. It may, but even if it does, im sure it's much much less than it was at the time and may not happen at all.

Did you also not read all of the other shit I wrote?
I am not mining for excuses. I'm simply laying out the fact that there has been and it has ramifications to this day. That's just a fact.
This is not rationalizing. I lay absolutely a shit ton of blame on the black community for not actually striving to do better. I even said "the family and community issues" in a previous post.
I said ALL that shit.
It doesn't negate the fact there is to this day, because of history, white privilege.
It amazes me how white people only seem to read one side and black people only seem to read the other side of the same exact fucking post.
-
In the 1950s and 60s?
No... By then, the racism was clearly on skin color, much less on the premise of ones religious up bringing.
Remember, no one thought that a Catholic would be President in the turn of the century, yet Kennedy was a Catholic President by 1960.
Look, I'm interracial. Don't get me wrong. I look white and I believe it's helped me in dealings with law enforcement and loans and the like. My brother was renting a house from someone and the owner told him that they were looking for the "right kind of people" , and he was happy to see that my brother fit the bill. (He's actually a shade darker than I am)
Here's the thing though. It exists, but it's not an excuse for the way that the black community lets itself get destroyed from within.
Perpetuating gang violence still? Why? No reason.
Allowing prison culture to permeate the community at large? That's ridiculous.
Having more respect for someone who recently got out of jail than someone who got out of college? Insanity.
Not taking care of their families. - I have 2 kids. They live kind of far away, but I fly across country every month to be a father and take care of them. I do it because 1. I love them and 2. My own mother would disown me if I was not a part of my kid's lives. (That's not true, she would probably beat me with a baseball bat for being a deadbeat though.)
Where is the black community standing up and shouting for their own men to take care of their families. Stop having a bunch of kids you aren't taking care of. Women who have 10 kids by 5 different fathers. This is also insanity.
Certainly while it's true that the "white man" has systematically oppressed the black communities previously, that does not mean that the black communities aren't also systematically oppressing themselves.
They are.

Most social issues are the result of self and other. The self doesn't exist without the other and the other doesn't exist without the self. To take either out of equation is simplifying the issue and reducing problems to one variable, which it hardly ever is.

People don't think like that. It seems like there is a possible political agenda to keep people from thinking like that, so that you can keep people thinking that they are victims. Votes and money. The victim industry brings in lot of money. And keeping people in the victim mindset, means that they are easier to manipulate. How do any of us feel like when we are a victim, or have been wronged? Now add in some entity that tells us that we are victims, and they will make it right. That entity gains power.

As TuHolmes put it, it is a combination of things. And black folk have a hand in it as well.
Also, depending on how they look, or raised. Mixed people are either seen as better than, prettier than,just like them. In some sense there maybe some distrust or jealousy issues. Look at how Nene called that one girl on a show a "Half Breed".
And look how Halle Berry is treated as well. And Shemar Moore.

this comment is about 10 levels of abstraction beyond the comprehension ability of the audience...ahyuck ahyuck
but anyway such is the problem that arises with the term "white", it is inherently exclusionary and creates such confusion about what is a very simple concept. In truth what we are observing is class privilege. It's reasons such as this why I support the elimination of the white race as the final solution to this problem ;D

One guy is handsome and a part of that is because his skin is lighter... That's just the way people judge looks. Most people find lighter skinned people better looking than darker skin. That's just how it goes.
Also, women didn't care he was going to Prison... PRISON, because he was "better looking" as you put it.
Also, I do not have a "chip". Never have. How does anything I've even posted resemble a "chip"?
Please show me this... I'll wait.
You keep saying I have a "chip on my shoulder", but I don't think you even know what that means.

It was a combo of things---he has a chiseled jawline, and the light skin, and the blue eyes. And the bad boy image. Depending on who is commenting---the light skin and blue eyes make him more attractive because the default for attractiveness is white and him being mixed makes him closer to that.
Now, there have been dark skinned black men who have chiseled facial features and are ripped up, and they get the same or more response. Because black people have been defined or represent the "physical". So, said man will be sexualized.
As Josephine Baker once said "The white imagination sure is something when it comes to blacks"

You stated that you think people were only less racist towards you because you don't look black. You also stated that your brother was allowed to rent property because he wasn't darker. It's pretty clear cut that you go into situations expecting the worst outcome (being judged for your race).
You have no proof that people only treat you better because you are light skinned. You are just speculating, as does the same apply to your brother's situation. You claim on here to be as kind/reasonable in person as you are on here and I suspect that has more to do with how you are treated.
Btw, I'll add that you are well liked on this board, and it isn't my intent to insult you as I do some of the other members. Some of us are just getting sick of the white guilt. That's a real term too.

I do not go into situations expecting to be judged on my race, but it does happen. I have instances where black people have changed their tone and conversation around me once they realized that the person standing next to me who was black was my Aunt or what have you. I have had instances where cousins or what have you have been treated harshly until I happened to walk up and interject myself into the conversation. This is just things that have happened.
Both sides do it.
I make statements based on personal experience. That's what we, as people, do.
That is not a chip. That's a statement. It doesn't mean that I have a predisposition towards anyone. That's what a chip really is, having a predisposition. Which I don't have. I take people individually and always have.
If having a common sense response is a "chip" then our definitions are completely different.
Sure, white guilt exists, I would not suggest otherwise, but until we can have an honest dialog about race relations in the US, we are not going to get anywhere as a society.

America has a somewhat promising success model: family, education, and hard fucking work. Generally speaking, some ride it to the top, some make out just ok, and some ignore it altogether then cry "privilege" at those who didn't. This here should really be the extent of that "honest discussion" everyone pretends we should have.
Two-term black president, man, yet we're STILL citing historical ugliness and such as legitimate obstacles. Hard to swallow, but SO not surprised.

Untrue.
I don't know about most people, but I'm not dealing with women who are going to Prison.
In the long run, they are absolutely going to be more trouble than they are worth. A girl who is in and out of jail constantly is not on any level going to be someone you can really be around.
At my age, while hotness counts, someone who is constantly having run-ins with the law is going to just be problematic and there's no way the pussy is worth that hassle.

I can't disagree. While the saying goes that the crazy ones are the best in bed, you diminish all the risks of bullshit by not mixing up with a girl like that. Allthough it could stay on a platonic, occational sex level with no bullshit, but who knows. Question is, how crazy are you, lol

10 years ago, I would probably not have cared, but today, with what I've dealt with in life, I'm fine with a crazy chick, but she has to be emotionally crazy and just not crazy enough to get the cops called on her regularly.

10 years ago, I would probably not have cared, but today, with what I've dealt with in life, I'm fine with a crazy chick, but she has to be emotionally crazy and just not crazy enough to get the cops called on her regularly.
I have dated that girl. I have put up with that girl's shit and I'm not ever doing it again.
At some point, you just have to stop that crap.
Dated? Oh well, maybe it's indeed impossible to fuck a crazy bitch and not get stuck with it (stalking, crazy phone calls while on ex high as fuck etc.). Only an equally crazy dude could pull that off. I could't date one, but I could wrestle with one.

In my early 20's I dated one. that's the only time too.
It just so happens that the only time I've been stabbed with a letter opener too.

Dated is the word... Of course that definition is relative to some. I mean, what is "dated" right?
I say we banged, went to clubs, drank too much, for more than a couple of months. That's dated right?

Like I said. "White privilege" is bullshit made up by the left...

No, that makes Johnathan Butler a liar, it does not negate white privilege.
You already know that though.

I've pointed out facts and reason that it does, but you say "No, that's not true."
That must mean you're right.

We need some affirmative action up in this thread.

No. This is not me being narrow minded.
This is me knowing the area and the people who live in it.
This also doesn't reflect the unfair loan practices that caused a lot of the current "ghetto".
The fact is that people were denied loans based upon their skin color and that it did cause a huge inequality in wealth creation. That inequality in wealth is still felt today.
Certainly the black community has to do better or they will continue to be at the bottom, due to their own stupidity. The black community has to stop the bullshit I posted earlier or they will never achieve equality. No matter how many many policies to create equality are made.
Until the black community decides to stop acting like fools in their own neighborhoods, and work towards education instead of working towards tinting their windows, they will always be on the bottom.
Absolutely they have a large part in their downfall currently, and until they stop playing the victim and start truly working towards doing better, they will always be outside looking in.
This might be a controversial point, but I think the fact that blacks achieved "equal" status in the 60s under LBJ coincided with the rise of the welfare state in western countries. If you look at Ireland, UK... many EU countries you see we are almost at 3rd and 4th generation of families who have never been employed and leech every social welfare entitlement and pass this on, almost as a rite to their kids.
I don't doubt for a second that blacks experience prejudice in the USA, no more than I doubt a strong southern accent (think Maggie in "Million Dollar Baby") would also make people assume you are white trash - but I think this speaks to a wider prejudice (and here's my point) - if you're seen as sounding like or looking like you come from a shit background, you will be treated as such, irrespective of who you are and what you've done.
Obama is technically black but he is lighter skinned than me on melanotan, highly educated and was a professor in Harvard - and sounds like it too. Give Obama Mike Huckabee's accent and Ben Carson's skin and he would never have been elected - people would have assumed he was stupid/incompetent.
I'm not American, I'm not black so I can't put myself in your shoes for a day and see what it is like.

I do not disagree that welfare can be a huge issue. It was supposed to be a hand up, not a hand out, and a great many people... White and Black abuse that system.
Disproportionally it seems that the black community does it more so, I can't be sure, but it does "seem" that way.
None of it is good.
Absolutely. How you portray yourself goes a long way. Acting like a banger is going to have people perceive you as low class while acting like you have some reasonable sense about you will typically have people perceive you as not a problem, but there are certainly exceptions to that and racism does exist.
Just not on the levels that I believe certain groups try to make it out to be.

If blacks are poorer (which in general they are) they will need welfare more - and therefore more will abuse it. Same as here in deprived areas welfare is rife, and abuse is more widespread. I had to deliver to a customer the other day. A heroin addict was being arrested by cops with his kid screaming crying. His partner was on ground being attended to by paramedics while overdosing. All white area, but social housing and major drug issue there. Can you imagine being a neighbour to shitbags like that and trying to do well by your children?
Well I know of one example. Katie Taylor - gold medallist in Olympics for Ireland grew up there (same estate). Her father Pete (former heavyweight boxing champion of Ireland) must have been some dad cos his other son won a scholarship with me to university and he won the young scientist competition. That is success in adversity, but the area is littered with drug addicts, scroungers and hopeless people. Hopeless as in they can't see beyond next week, the next meal etc.

Reminds me of an old Sanford & Son episode where Fred steals a guys wallet, and the dude accused him first and Fred claimed it was because he was black. He said the guy was racist. Then when his son asked if he took it, he said yes. Similar situation I'm seeing here. Very confusing.

Can someone please let me know what my "white privilege" exactly is so that I can properly respond when I have to apologize for having it?
For one thing odds are you can walk down the street, pretty much any street and not be fearful that some rouge cops will take you to the ground or possibly shoot you just because they have some stereotype in their head. Of could stereotyping works both ways. The white guy walking down the street could be a hired killer, a rapist or a thief.

Stereotypes exist because more often than not, they're based in fact not fiction. This is only sad because it is true. All too often, people are the source of their own stereotypes. To change the perception, one must first change the cultural zeitgeist. That can only be done at the source. As always, anyone can change but it's change for the better that's needed, my friend.

I am glad you said "more often than not" because sometimes the stereotype is imposed by the mind of the beholder. For example, I have no problem with Black folks, probably because I actively try not to judge folks by something as superficial as skin color. However, I live in a Lilly white neighborhood, when I see someone who is black walking up the street, for an instant I think, what are they doing here?
The media focuses on the negative regardless the subject. It is a rarer that they will cover a story about a successful or heroic black person, but the media appears to have no problem covering black gang shootings and such. Both events occur whether someone in black, white, brown, red or yellow. The media taints our perception of this causing us to develop some instinctual stereotypes as a means of feeling safer. It's a hoax of course, but we never-the-less fall for it.

The blacks I've interviewed have had a sense of entitlement and absolutely did not want to start at the bottom, felt they deserved to be higher up with no experience. One actually quit cause he said sweeping floors wasn't his job, it was exactly the position he was hired for and when he was told that he said it was bullshit and only cause he was black. LOL, I've yet to hear that from any white, mexican or asian.
Just my experience. :)

I find it absolutely disgusting. Scream equality, then want to be treated special. I hate it.

Right, those pesky head stereotypes. Because cops' only understanding of black culture comes from the D.W. Griffith films they show at the academy. Wise as an owl, old man.

Then again, it could be because they are "Millennials". I will give you that the Latinos I've worked with are not only dedicated hard workers, they know what they are doing. I'm stereotyping of course, but Asians tend to be well educated and probably wouldn't be applying for a job sweeping floors. BTW, I've swept a few floors in my day. It's very relaxing. Sweeping a gym with a giant dust mop so that the wood shines before an event is very satisfying.

I've been thinking about doing this, not for the money of course because I don't need it (fortunately) and generally does pay a living wage, but because it would give me something to do and a place to go on a regular basis. There are days when I miss working and the social aspects of this....this must be one of them. It will pass.

Right, we're all so very tired of media demonizing minorities.
To be fair, though, Cronkite has made an effort to use "coloreds" more lately, rather than his usual "those people"; and they've all been pretty good with "oriental" since the Japs surrendered.
Good point, though.

I mention Cronkite in the present tense and you ask if I'm serious. Are you?
Tell me, when was the last time you saw a newsperson vilify a minority? Was it an Asian anchorperson? Or a thick-accented Hispanic field reporter with rolled Rs and Y-sounding double Ls? The queer Afro-weatherman, maybe, or the black, former-athlete sports guy? Because you haven't a clue.
I'm guessing you don't watch TV at all, and you get all your info from NPR - either way, you're about 50 years outta touch.

It is more a wealth issue then anything. Check out the Capitol Hill interns. Whites still control more wealth in North America. They have more of the top jobs. The trends are changing though. The white trash population is growing.

Black have problems
Women have problems
Feminists have problems
Gays have problems
Transgenders have problems
Latinos have problems.
Only people that have no problems are the white males. We get left taking care of everyone.

It is more a family issue than anything. Parents giving a shit, I mean. Mom OR Dad - hell, even BOTH sometimes. Can you imagine? Check out the stats. Perhaps two giveashit parents afford one a privilege?
