Like I said though it's not really an argument that needs to be had round in circles, it's theory-based and if you're right then the current gradual slide towards bolstered righteous indignation will result in meaningful change. Give me a nudge when that happens. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 03-08-2020 at 07:26 AM. |

A little bit of Black Pride and Black Military cosplay and all of sudden certain folks want to be “scared” and “worried”. There wasn’t all this concern for division amongst the public when Immigrants were being hounded to get out the country or when Muslims were being abused for the extremist attacks. Give it a rest.

It's a term more about social class, rather than race.

To say that white privilege doesn't exist when you're white is quite funny. |

White privilege is very real, as is male privilege. Class privilege also; you'll automatically do better if you're well-spoken. Not "posh sounding" like Jacko Preece Nogg necessarily, but well enunciated middle class. Racial privilege to an extent plays into class privilege but that doesn't stop it being racial privilege: some people make a lot of class assumptions based on race. So that's still white privilege .
It doesn't necessarily mean that all well spoken white blokes are doing great in life... But it does result in near-universal "automatic positive regard" (where it matters) and that makes an absolutely HUGE difference, whether you realise it or not. It took me until my 30's to recognise it but once you see it, it's unmistakable. I'm not even going to pretend I don't use those advantages, but that doesn't mean I'm happy that they exist. It's bull****. Very real bull****. Last edited by Toy Soldier; 03-08-2020 at 09:11 PM. |

Goes beyond "life isn't fair" and more into it being purposely made even harder than it should be because you have a certain colour skin/accent/genitals. And, no, that's not right.
"Life is hard" is not a justifiable reason to be kicking down those not treated as equal to everyone else. But, you know that. |

You seem to be struggling with the quote function as well as white privilege.

For all those who say white privilege doesn't exist in the UK please explain why the black race is the most under educated and most likely to be living on the lowest incomes? Black majority boroughs in London are some of the worst places to live in the UK when the government should be doing everything to improves those places

White people always like to pretend white privilege doesn’t exist with the same ‘well, we’re not well off!!’ lines, when the most basic form of white privilege is feeling safe when walking down the street because your skin colour isn’t seen as a weapon.
White privilege isn’t about wealth, class or career, it’s about the comfort and security not being a minority brings you, the clear majority of white people wont be accused of looking ‘suspicious’ just for walking, or waiting for people on the street, white people have never been and never will be held back or down because of their skin colour and no amount of ‘wahh, white people are under attack’ nonsense, will ever change that
