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?

I usually don't chime in on such topics, but you might have a point.

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.

It's not your first thought that counts, IMO.

Anyone who buys into this 'white privilege' nonsense is a truly stupid, pathetic and weak minded individual.

"In the name of equality, the French government has proposed doing away with homework in elementary and junior high school. French President Francois Hollande argues that homework penalizes children with difficult home situations, but even the people whom the proposal is supposed to help disagree."

This proposal is to correct two-parents-in-the-household privilege.
