I agree with you 100%. However, their life will suck immensely because they’ve lost all hope. They will never work hard and therefore never achieve anything of value. It’s sad
@@WmRob why do you assume non whites don’t work hard? It is not about victim hood. It is about being given a fair chance to succeed and being treated in the same way. I can tell you that even in the corporate world I work harder than any white person.
You said it brotha!!! I'm and indian puertorican that looks Arab. Always had to work hard for what I have. And I never cried and bitched about how hard and unfair life is. Just tighten the belt and get to it that's it. Make it happen.
@@FreeSpkn who is crying about this? I never hear anyone crying about this. I do feel though for people who have never been given a fair chance to succeed and are started life 100 steps behind. We need to find a way to make it more equal and give people a fair chance. I live in an affluent neighborhood with good schools but all I have to do is go to neighboring towns with black or minority populations and see the differences. It is quite shocking.
As a Filipino American, watching a Black American constantly call themselves a victim living in America is VERY RICH and CRINGY. Stop with excuses, it’s an embarrassment to the people that actually fought for freedom.
My British friend, who is 2nd gen Ghanian, said African Americans give her abuse when she says she’s never experienced racism in the UK - they simply don’t believe her, then call her names. She said it’s baffling.
I’m married to a Filipino and have lived in the PI. Such kind, hardworking, selfless people! Funny, you never hear Asians screaming racism or crying and complaining.
@@FORTHEBY_BY You must not be in the areas with large Asian communities because they definitely do. The only reason you don't hear about it is because it is often directed at the black population because black Americans have been committing so many violent hate crimes against the Asian community ever since covid.
As a 26yo black man, it’s frustrating seeing the victim mentality that’s been instilled in a majority of the black community. Had a discussion with my mother about it one time and she told me I “sound white”. Since when does not accepting the victim mentality equate to sounding white? I feel that if the black community could moved pass the past and be more hopeful for the future, as well as teaching the importance of a two parent household, a lot of issues would be resolved
Why white people (and others) are not asking Reparations to North Africa? Cartage had a lot of white people as slaves during history, also, most of the African slaves were slaves under other African or even Arabic empires.
Yt keeps deleting comments, but basically Cartage, Ethiopia, Mali and many Arabic Countries had more African slaves than all the European countries and also, Cartage had White slaves, And yet you don't see w people and B people asking for reparations to these countries/societies.
Tha is interesting. Most of my life I been made to feel ashamed because of my white skin. From bullying, harassment, - I have literally had girls tell me, I don't date you because you are too white. I been passed for jobs because I am white. And I could sit here and tell you a whole bunch of stuff that's happened to me for just being white. Loved your post, not being contrarian. Just wanted to share this with you since well, I liked your post.
I grew up in Memphis and heard similar things from friends. It didn’t really hit me though until I was sitting in the break room one day at work and these two gals got into it because one was talking about how she wasn’t going to work with us much longer because she was going to law school and would be moving into that field. The other gal jumped all down her throat, called her a high yellow n***** and then said “You just think you’re better, you just trying to be white!” My heart just broke for my co-worker who was working super hard to build a good life for herself. Hard work, being a productive member of society, achievement, these aren’t defined by race or skin color. It’s so wrong that some people face opposition like that for just wanting to grow and live. I wasn’t encouraged to do anything great with my life but neither was I discouraged from it over something as arbitrary as skin color.
Does it say pay for other culture's daddy less kids. And is it on repeat for the incarceration costs of a high proportion of can't get rights... in prison. My white privilege makes me so happy when I see the police bill to stop drug dealers killing and poisoning our comunity all the time, blame the white devil. Honestly stupidity must be in the dna of some cultures embrace victim hud.

But they do not seem to care because their goal is not to think, but to profit of the victim-hood mentality. Someone who thinks for themselves will already be asking questions or truly care of the replies given by the teacher.

I was raised dirt floor poor and had to scrimp and save every penny to rise above poverty. Any time someone comes at me with white privilege I don't hesitate to tell them how clueless they are.
and i don't hesitate to say you are uneducated , my professor is a white man from Italy and he said he knw white privilege's exist as in white people do work hard but don't experience the same adversities as African Americans. not surprised if you get angry our society is built on being defensive and ignoring realities outside of your own. bye!
I got all A's in school, never served a detention, never in principle office for anything. My family never owned a home, never new car, never new furniture, we ate leftovers constantly, never ate fast-food or restaurant's, never had my own back pack, never had a car, never had a phone in my room. I had one bra, I made most of my clothes. I bought my tennis at second hand store. I never got my hair done. Never had finger nails done, no prom or homecoming dances. We couldn't afford the dresses. No extra curricular activities because we couldn't afford it. My ancestors fought in the Civil War on the Union side. We have lived in Ohio before it was a state. Ohio never allowed Slavery, it was outlawed from the beginning of the founding of the state. NO Ohio native owes money to any kid of a slave ever.

@@Katrn30I agree. I didn’t own slaves nor did my parents, or my grandparents as well as my great grandparents never owned slaves. This takes my family back to the mid 1800’s.

People need to stop playing the victim.
My daughter who is white graduated third in her class could not get any scholarships, her roommate who is black graduated 200th in her class and has a full ride, she is not an athlete. It's colored privilege
I dont mean to burst your bubble but if your daughter had been a son the concept of scholarships wouldn't even exist in your mind haha. Free things? for males? lol
True! My daughter went to Wash U and played sports. Almost all the girls wanted to be doctors. The black girl got right into med school and the white and Asian girls had to work at Wash U doing research for 2 years before they got accepted! These were all very hard working girls who got great grades.
I wanted to go to medical school so I went to a college counselor at a school that has the highest med school acceptance. I was told, me being white would have to be in the top 1% to get accepted where as black/browns need a C average.
My son was denied entry to the engineering school he wanted to attend because of diversity quotas. He gave up on that, bought property, and is doing his own thing. I am proud of him for being successful in his field, and debt-free at 25 owning his own home and land. But I am sad because his dream of being an aero-space engineer was crushed.
@@ltGargoyle I’m glad my son didn’t even go to college and became an elevator mechanic instead. He bought his house when he turned 22 back in 2021. America is now the land of alternate dreams for white people, since we just can’t go our first choice route now.
I grew a s a low income white male. I graduated from college, served in the Army and now a successful man making over $100,000. NOT because I was white but through my hard work.
In 1975 I wanted to be a fireman paramedic. I passed all physical and agility test, tested in the 95 percentile on aptitude tests, passed the psychological test. Then during academy graduation, I was placed on a 7 year waiting list. Affirmative Action was in full effect and women and minorities only had to pass 65 percent of what I had to pass 90 percent to make it to the academy. Yes, I was discriminated against because of my whiteness. I had to earn a living and went back to construction to support myself and later my wife. You can take "White Privilege" and shove it where the sun doesn't shine. It was discrimination pure and simple.
@pauld5641 : Great post, amigo! You are 1000% correct. I am barrio born Mexican-American but easily pass for white. I worked in three major bureaucracies with and among "victimhood" minded, lazy, incompetent, lying, thieving, "privileged" individuals who were blatant racists against whites. Yes, stone cold racists...but protected from this label via self induced bite your tongue censorship. In private, among " them" when "they" feel safe... you should hear their racist talk and POVs against Whitey. So, yeah, getting over "whitey" goes back many generations as some honest literature shows. And our poor Asian scholars who excel in academics are passed over for privileged Diddyies. P.S. As a Chicano, I grew up in SoCal, (Watts, Compton, Long Beach, Wilmington) ...so please don't tell me I don't know caca about " them".
@rosslangille3956 Still bothers me to this day that I was passed over for a career I wanted to be as a kid, for lesser qualified candidates in the name of Affirmative Action.
Similar for me when I was trying to get into being a software engineer. Senior engineers are in high demand but it is tough to get your first job. I was directly told in one interview if I were black or a female they would consider me. The tech industry is all the rage hogging minorities and women, leaving men to have a hard time.
Privilege? Going to bed on time as a kid, family meals every night, forced to do homework like it or not, taught manners and respect and social skills, encouraged to get a job as a teen and save money. THIS IS NOT privilege! It's good parenting. Raise your kids right, to change the world and the future!!
Good point, however I think good parenting is a privilege. I do think we agree that good parenting isn't uniquely a white thing, or even a race thing in general, but perhaps a lottery. Many individuals grow up with broken families but that doesn't mean it has to be a race thing. Having good parents shouldn't boil down to skin color. There are plenty of good parents of all races.
@@milo4239 Nope, it is not a privilege. A privilege is a special provision given to a person/group on behalf of the state. Things that would be privileges: -being legally allowed to study when others can't -being exempt from draft -being exempt from paying taxes -being legally allowed to kill someone (for example, privileged status of nobility towards their serfs) Here some things that aren't privileges, these are called "circumstances": -having a father -not being born in indebted family -being born to a billionaire -not receiving any education/not being forced to attend a school
Im a SWM. I've been a landscape maintenance business for over 30 years. As my business has been slowly strangled by illegal labor from the south, I'm failing to see how my privilege is helping.
Well you must pay tax for other cultures kids to be fatherless they must think the warm glow in your belly has value. They must think they do whites a favor not paying for the children the drop out...
That's been going on in this country for over 20 years to all of our trades they'll do a 30 or $40 an hour job for $10 and then do a terrible job and used cheap materials

It’s a shame a shame that is deteriorating our society that college professors among others do not focus on your comments. Academia seeks to pit genders and races against one another rather than enlighten and inspire real conversation among their students. Thank you for some common sense and comments.
@Trebor74 I'm not sure what kind of distinction you are making. I was pointing out that it's always been the White man they were referring to. They just aren't afraid of exposing their racism anymore. In fact, it's encouraged.

It's almost never first- or second-generation immigrants who complain about "white privilege", it's the extraordinarily privileged American-born "people of colour", most of whom have never had to face real challenges in their entire lives. If countries like the USA, Britain, Canada, and Australia are so racist, why is there always a years-long waiting list of black and brown people who want to move there to make a better life for themselves and their families? It doesn't make sense.
White privileged is a concept used to be racist against a person… the US is sooooooo focused on race… maybe focus on one’s nationality over race 💁🏻♀️💯
Be Shapiro said it perfectly. If you’re a young person and don’t want to live in poverty in the future, finish high school, don’t have a baby out of wedlock and wait until you’re at least 21 and, last, work hard at least 40 hours a week. I would also add avoid drugs and alcohol.
Keep in mind though. White privilege is that someone white can make those slip ups (baby out of wedlock/drugs/alcohol etc) and still be OK. Often times black people dont recover from mistakes due to a multitude of reasons. I'm saying this agreeing with what Shapiro said. He's absolutely right. Each individual should do what they have to do to succeed regardless of skin color but to pretend there isn't a gap in the degree of difficulty due to skin color is ignoring what's plain to see. The issue is when people try to make white people feel guilty about it. We shouldn't, but we should recognize the imbalance when we see it and not contribute both individually and systemically.
Amen. I can't get help with my medical bills because I'm white & I've lived in my state all my life. Had I moved to Texas for 6 months & moved back, then they'd help me. Seriously. I've gotta be a migrant to receive assistance.
The fact that you don't even recognize your white privilege is a prime example that you're privileged. Just look at history, it shows us white privilege is real.
My wife and I are white and we never felt privileged. We worked hard to get what we want. We were Never given anything free. There's white poor people in society who can't even go to school.
It's NOT WHITE PRIVILEGE. It's actually Work Ethic. Max weber coined the term protestant work ethic. And yes... Mainly whites followed this philosophy. The factors are Work diligence, Punctuality,,deferment of gratification, primacy of work as a priority. I saw this decades ago and it results success. Sadly it's now fading with broken homes. Basically kids were taught to be responsible for their own success. Parents were kind but strict. No PRIVILEGE involved. We studied hard and did our homework. It's now mainly seen in the Chinese parents who push their children to be their best.
It is never expected that "the master race" will ever acknowledge they are being violent or exploitative. Even in slavery, rather thank acknowledge the violence, you justified the violence by using the bible of all books 🙂 . It never happened in past and is unlikely to happen ever. A callous people never became more sensitive to the plight of those they exploited unless they were confronted by the prospect of defeat! That is the threat posed by China to you today! Considering "work ethic," I wonder why you didnt show that work ethic instead of enslaving millions? Why didnt you show that work ethic in europe of your ancestors, instead of colonizing and destroying nations?

My “White Privilege” allowed me to work full-time during High School & College to pay for my education, room & board, and all my other living expenses. But at least there was no waiting in any line for me to make tuition payments to the High School and then to the University, while those minorities receiving aid including tuition, books, room & board, and other living expenses had a long waiting line to deal with. That was my introduction to the Racist, Discrimination policy known as Affirmative Action. Should I now expect “Reparations” for the institutional racism and discrimination that I endured since I didn’t receive any aid including tuition, books, room & board and other living expenses like so many of a different skin color received? P.S. In addition to the above I have NEVER RECEIVED any form of Government aid or payments such as Unemployment “Compensation”, FOOD STAMPS or WELFARE of any kind!

Born in 1961. Graduated 1979. Didn’t get my first job I want in 1979 because of affirmative action. I was told it was a set aside job. Spend the rest of my life dealing with job and promotion being determined by skin color. My entire life I had to deal with government affirmative action now know as diversity. I have seen more black privilege in my life than any form of white privileged.
I'm so lucky I'm white.. all I had to do to be comfortable and have a home is work my ass off every day for over 40 years now. so sad that most people will be denied this privilege 😢🎉
Dittos. All I had to do was work 2 jobs for 26 years of my adult life. It was a piece of cake growing my own business for 20 years at night and on weekends. Then, I was privileged to be fired for barely any reason at all after 19.5 years at the same company without severance at age 60. I was also lucky enough to not be able to get unemployment. But, at least I couldn't get health insurance ever again. My privilege made it way too expensive. It was a real bummer that after working my butt off growing my own business for 20 years that I no longer needed to be employed. Now, regrettably, My wife and I live a very comfortable life today. I feel so guilty. It's too bad that these victims didn't get all the privilege that I did.
Some Indigenous folk here in Australia say it too, conveniently ignoring the majority of Indigenous Aussies who live normal lives, let alone the many on six figure incomes and in our parliament.

I’m white. I grew up Living in a trailer on the outskirts of Tucson AZ. Grew up with a single mom and two sisters. I never had any privilege, I wore hand me down clothes and grew up on government food stamps. My race had nothing to do with my success. My upbringing did, I knew I never wanted to live in a trailer again And never wanted to take any hand out from the government. I have a four-year degree from a university and I have been working in the same field for the last 25 years now north of $200,000 a year. It has nothing to do with my race and everything to do with the hard work that I put in over the past 30 + years. Someone might look at me as a white male in his mid-40s and think that he has all the privilege in the world.., yet, I grew up with a single mom literally Living in poverty, my entire childhood
Lazy people want to believe it because of privilege they don't want to admit the reason their lives sucks is due to them and their get up and go, far easier to accept hand out and blame others for their situation. A lot of people also just make bad decisions, they might go to college get indebt up to their eyeballs, but study women studies or some other BS course then leave and have to get a job at starbucks, but of course its everyone else's fault
This shit doesn’t even need to be said. Too many whites people keep feeling the need to prove they didn’t have privilege. Just stop acknowledging this nonsense. It’s mainly online anyway.
You worked hard made good decisions that is infact your white privilege I'm not saying that I was told by someone if you work hard and make good decisions is white privilege yeah it makes no sense to me either.
I had a similar upbringing except that we had a house. I went to Cholla High School, which probably has some of the poorest neighborhoods in Tucson. I didn't know we were poor. I knew we didn't have a lot of the material things that "poor" kids had, but we had the right priorities. We're Asian, and we grew up with the expectation that we would go to college. I remember taking the SATs and the other kids were complaining that their scores weren't great because of their background. I thought to myself that I had been going to school with many of them since elementary school, and I scored in the 99th percentile, so they really didn't have a valid excuse. I didn't know what to call it then, but now we call it victimhood. Btw, I was surprised that the Asian kid even discussed white privilege. I always felt that one of the things that set Asians apart from other minorities was the fact that we don't buy into that crap.
In the 1990's my sister worked with an ER doctor that when he was trying b to get into medical school in the 70's got bumped out entrance to medical school because of affirmative action. Even though he had top grades. He was shocked because he was always told "if you work hard and study hard" you can become a doctor. He had to find where he could go to medical school. Even though he was born in America he could not go to medical school here. Italy had an opening in their medical school so he I entered medical school there having to learn a new language at the same time attending classes. Thankful he returned to America as an ER doctor.

I’m a Slavic/ukranian/russian mutt. My grandma’s mom was a slave in Russia and so was her family going back generations. In English it’s called being a serf, but the word slave itself comes from the word SLAV. In Russian we just call it slave. My family on the other side were also slaves. Slavery in Russia was ended after it was ended in America. I grew up dirt poor in Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union when the country was in shambles. Then we escaped and America saved my family’s life. We came to America with $50, no family, and NO ENGLISH. I was 8. Now I’m 28, I own a lot of property, I’m a millionaire, I am a stay at home mom of 3 kids. Tell me how I’m more privileged and how I owe anyone anything.

4:44 - She says "Sally" has more privileges over her for being white, like in the job market (which has affirmative action for her but not Sally) or academically (which has black-only scholarships but no white-only scholarships as well as affirmative action and lower standards for blacks). She then says there are certain things -black- "people of color" (which isn't a thing because non-whites are not even close to be a monolith to lump them together like that) are taught at home. And just like that she hits it on the head. The "privilege" she thinks exists is that certain parents teach their kids all those soft skills to be successful, like politeness, punctuality, hard work, responsibility, deferred gratification, honesty, etc. ... a some parents don't. The inheritance that whites have that blacks don't--that generational wealth that activists are so envious of is their traditions, practices, culture, etc. They have two parents at home. They know not to break the law. They want to earn what they get. They want to be good people. If blacks want "privilege," then teach your kids those things and be an example. Yes, it means you will have to "act white."
Replace "privilege" with merit earned and it explains everything. Some people are jealous and envious that a certain demographic has almost entirely invented, built and maintained the modern world.
@@theevermind if ‘acting white’ means working hard, using manners, being responsible, etc., then I raised my son to be white. I certainly didn’t raise him to be a victim with his hand out. He earned everything he has earned through hard work, despite being discriminated against for being a straight white male. His privilege was having a sober, employed, single white mother who taught him how to be a man and not a parasite. His privilege was working hard and figuring out that starting his own business meant he could overcome society’s bias against him. At 24 he is thriving because of his hard work.
you people are not understanding the coined white priveledge, you are thinking it is just earning your wages or education...lol the problem is we were all ill informed for centuries. just study Dr joy Degruy or listen to a lecture or ted talk if you can't fathom being labeled as having white priviledge is or having a victim mentality. Just a little reasearch.
As an African American, I’ve witnessed the victim mentality of many younger people. My grandfather experienced racism by being called “boy” or asked “you think you belong in this store?” Even my great grandfather went missing after going on a fishing trip and police didn’t bother to investigate. Yet here I am partnering with Ana counting firm, private banking background, never got into fights, never stole l, no kids, and no criminal record. And I owe it to having a father who established discipline and structure along with a mother who was supportive and helped developed moral values through faith. To sum it up, our people tend to use racism as a reason to not grow, take risks, and eliminate accountability
The reason this is even an issue is because of the way blacks were treated and denied opportunites. My brother complained about having to fight to get a job because of affirmative action. I asked him where his outrage was when blacks were on the receiving end of the problem? There was a reason for affirmative action. My brother also complained about how lazy blacks were at work. I asked if he meant like our dad's white friend who used to rig the meter or welding rod, whichever it was, at work to make it look as though he was welding when he wasn't... and he wasn't the only white person to do that. My brother went silent and then finally admitted that it did happen. There was a stark contrast in his tone. He was very loud and angry when talking about the lazy blacks, but very quiet when speaking about the lazy whites. My point is it is always worse when a black person does the same thing a white person does... that is the mentality, anyway. Having said all that, I agree that times are much better for black people and sometimes they play the victim. There are a lot of problems in the black community that need to be addressed, but I can see how things got to this point. I definitely agree with your last sentence. In fact, I don't really know what I was trying to say. I guess I can see both sides.

If that isn't black privilege then explain what that especially to the people who were qualified to be Ceo that were not black and were passed on.
Same here. And a handful of years later, I worked no less than 40 hour weeks, while attending paralegal school, which I took out a loan for. It was night hours Mon-Fri 6:00pm - 10:pm. I worked hard, very hard trying to keep up with job responsibilities (and staying error-free) and studying until 4:00am. I managed to graduate #2 in the school. I sure didn't see any white privilege then, or trying to get into college after high school - I had to pay my own way... through ALL of those years.
Bravo professor, this is an amazing convo highlighting that white privilege is not as revelant as people think. She said it perfectly. "were taught that we are different at home"

💯💯💯💯You see the attitudes of blacks. They have an axe to grind and they nor their parents experienced slavery. If they ever get in the position of majority, their anger will erode them as it has for decades🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
“People of color are taught at home that, like, we’re different…”. That’s the problem. Much of black culture is still based in the black power movement. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. White kids bussed to black schools got beat up on the regular. I’ve experienced hostility and racism from blacks, Hispanics etc all my life. If you asked about white privilege then, I would have agreed. If 80% of corporate America is white and black men are carrying a reputation, that makes it easier for the white employee. But today we have the reverse. DEI hired in the last 4 years account for 95% of new corporate hires. Yet the same black on white violence continues. Black privilege is the ability to cry racism while not being held accountable for their own racism.
I had a car of black young people stop their car and throw their fast food and drinks at me while I was standing at a crosswalk. Completely unprovoked. That's hostile.
I'm amazed that a straight white male professor can even DISCUSS this without being fired. THAT is the state of our society. Thank god he can. At least for now.
Well……. He’s the special brand of white no one is allowed to criticize . They are the Super Victims. Personally I would have chosen a cape instead of a cap for the uniform because they’re fun to wear.
@@laurapeterson12your first comment is to go to funds. Don't be so ignorant who's to say she didn't get to college with a scholarship with a grant or even her parents helping to put her through school. Don't sit there and cherry pick one ideology based on financial. I work in law enforcement. I see white privilege when it comes to interaction with society. Wayne minority people are pulled over by the police and they did a study on this are treated completely different than Caucasian people. They pulled over 100,000 interactions with the public and the way white people were engaged by the cops compared to blacks and other groups was completely different. When they approached white people in a car they refer to them as men and sir when they approached blacks and browns they automatically refer to them as bro and with much more aggression. Second of all, the college professor in the video didn't even finish his talking point before the guy who put the video up put in his own two cents

My white parents were immigrants fm Greece. Both worked in factories,and all of us 4 children got some higher education after highschool. No government help at all. They had no idea what that was. We all worked part time in the summer during high school. Soo there is no white privilege here. Just hard work.
I'm in Michigan. I'm white. I've never been given anything. In fact, the state refused to help me with $13,000 in medical bills. I'm on a fxed income. Medicare bites. I have nothing. Yet, I'm supposed to pay it off alone. Had i gone to TX for 6 mo & moved back, then they'd help because I'd be a migrant. I've lived here for 59 years as a native of MI & I'm nothing to them (DHS).
Did you actually apply for Medical Assistance from the state? Do you have both A and B parts? It was a medically necessary procedure, right? It wasn't elective? The only reason you wouldn't be able to get it is because you make more than the base threshold. If you have Medicare/Medicaid, you also need a supplemental insurance. You need to go over your policy and see what changes could be made to help you more. I recently had my third back surgery. That runs about 150 grand. The total I have to pay is roughly 800 dollars. (I'm on a payment plan with the hospital.) There's something there that seems like it's being overlooked. If you have Medicare and your supplemental insurance, there should be no reason for you to pay that much out of pocket. Unless you went to a doctor or specialist that is not in your insurance network.

I used to recruit for the Navy. Part of my job was the NROTC coordinator for my area. I submitted 30 applications mostly white males and a few females. Every single one was denied. Some had insane ACT/SAT scores. I never could get any interest in the hispanic and african american communities. Not for a lack of effort as i would frequent my 3 high schools and 2 community colleges almost daily. Anyone want to guess why all 30 of my applicants were denied? They werent diverse is the answer i was given.
Yup. Everyone is a victim. I'm a victim of society, I'm a victim of the patriarchy. I'm a victim of money, eating food, drinking water. Being an adult is realizing that we're all adults and thriving nonetheless, we're all victims to time.
Some times during the passage of time you don't have time to realize how significant the time that past was as the significant time went through the passage in an untimely time...passage. Wait, time out I need more time. I think.?
When we make being a victim embarrassing again, people will stop trying to be a victim. They will work hard to NOT be a victim and to hide ever being a victim. And when people work to not be victims, they succeed.
I'm white and I grew up poor. I went to college with financial assistance. I got an associates degree and baking certificate and went to a major university but did not graduate because I couldn't get anymore financial assistance. I only had about a year left. So, where is my " privilege"? I am now a care giver to my husband and am living just above the poverty line. Where is my "privilege"? Counting on Jesus to help me through everything I go through is what I am learning to do. I did NOT have an easy life. I was abused growing up. Where is my "privilege"?
You know nothing about caring for a loved one that’s disabled if that’s how you feel. My brother is a quad and needs 24/7 care.

As a white woman I have never received anything for just being white. My brown husband gets minority scholarships, special considerations for jobs for his skin color alone. What can I get that non-white people can’t? I’m just not understanding what my “white privilege” has gotten me.🤷🏼♀️

Depends on how you look at it I guess. This is all anecdotal but since I’m half Native American, half German I learned to check the Caucasian box for jobs. I’d applied for three different jobs with the county I live in, two of them I check native, the other white. I only received a letter for testing and eventually an interview for the job id checked the white box on. Got some funny looks at the interview but I got in 😂. I don’t dwell much on race but I’ll play the game to get ahead.
@@skeezix8156 I am wondering where you live because I believe that might have an effect on how you get treated. Incidentally, I am part Native as well, but pass for white, even though I have asian looking eyes like a lot of Natives do. I have had some white people ask me if I was chinese ffs🙄
@@wolfman122970 I’m in the northwest, you’re right there’s several factors. Proximity to the reservation, native population percentage etc. I’m pretty dark for half, most times people will start speaking to me in Spanish.

They look kind of Asian and people do speak Chinese to them, my youngest knows fluent Chinese yet they’re happy when they find out she isn’t
You are right. I finished High School. I went for some college education but I didn't finish it. I worked very hard throughout my days(delivery boy, busboy, delivery food, construction, then I.T.). I am now with a car, a home and a retirement account. I guess I fulfilled my American dream.
For 400 years black people were enslaved in the America's so it's just silly to try and flip this around. That's like when women ask why men can sleep around and they can't, because we are literally different, it's entirely not the same lol.
You’re hilarious!!! He knows what white privilege is. Bottom line it’s the fact that in general white people get to be assessed on who they are and given the benefit of the doubt in situations that may seem sketchy and that can vary from how police interact with them vs more serious things such as getting loans. Very rarely do they get judged on their literal ra*ing, lying, thieving and pillaging history. Black people in contrast are rarely afforded that privilege and instead decisions are made immediately based off color. That’s white privilege. If you live in America and you don’t understand that, you’re either a liar, intellectually dishonest or both.
There is thin privilege, rich privilege, tall privilege, pretty privilege, 2 parent family privilege, intelligence privilege, white privilege, poc privilege…etc. Life is not fair. The one who works the hardest doesn’t necessarily win the biggest prize. Focussing on what you don’t have is defeatist Everyone has some type of difficulty to overcome, and living in a victim mentality is a sad way to live.
When people are embarrassed for being a victim, they will work hard to make sure they are never victims. And then they will be successful. People who seek benefit for being a victim will always dig themselves a deeper hole than what they will get in support.

@@duanewright1412 Try being alive without the fear of being targeted, that is the priviledge. You view the priviledge as opportunity of status or wealth, but it is the right to live without fear of being targeted even when you are living as an upholding hard working citizen.
@cmp319 I view opportunities as any opportunity. I was targeted and looked at funny for many years because I had long hair and played music. I've been jumped and approached for being white. I've been pulled over by the police because my appearance fit the so-called mold. I was angry at those situations at the time, but I never let those things stop me from moving forward. I still hung out at my friends' houses (Some were black, some were white), I didn't fear all black people or police because of the ignorant ones I dealt with when I was younger.

I'm a person of color, which is called white. My privileges as a senior citizen is to pay high taxes, which goes into programs that have never worked. Go get an education and work. I have worked two jobs to pay for my kids college. Retired military and hate working with the VA. Get jury duty. Worked in law enforcement and get treated like a dog. Called a racist for being white. The list goes on. But, I am so glad to hear that several countries like Chad and Sudan are doing so great with their leadership, that people are moving there.
This conversation needs to be had in every school in the country. Children need to be taught that NO ONE IS DIFFERENT by default. Wealthy children have privilege, and non wealthy children don’t, and everyone in between is on a spectrum. Skin color does not dictate your future anymore! So many children are being brainwashed and knocked down from the start and it’s heartbreaking.
My dad raised my brother and I by himself till my step mom came into the picture. She treated us like we were her kids and she was the only mom we knew. Our birth mother decided to run off with Tyrone and get hopped up on meth and heroine . I only spoke to that woman a few times my entire life. My step mom IS my mom.
It's refreshing to have a Sociology professor that hands out hard truths and actually makes students critically think about social issues, rather than parrots.
The first time I was exposed to “white privilege” was at a ladies’ Bible Study. We all lined up, took a giant step forward if I was white, grew up in a white middle-class family, etc, etc. And I was at the front at the end of the giant steps forward. I was rolling my eyes and muttering to myself “take 5 giant steps backward if you were sexually abused your entire childhood by that white stepfather. I worked hard for the 40 years of being an RN: Not only the hardship of learning nursing, but how not to cry every time someone is angry at you, freezing up each time someone criticizes you.
Sorry, but I think there's a cutoff. Only a certain amount of applicants are accepted. The rest will have to deal with the same shit as every other race. Also, it's not just race but wealth is a factor.
well you are going to have to get more and more used to it because we are going to become a minority soon- maybe even not exist in 200 to 300 years from now or maybe sooner. I know some people are cheering this- even some white liberals. Jews are pushing it. Oh and A. H. didn't want to take over the world- he wanted a state for the German people and to expand it eastward- and a German state that wasn't controlled be non-Germans, a.k.a., Jews.
She Explained it by accident BLACK KIDS ARE TOLD BAD ADVICE ABOUT SOCIETY BY PARENTS WHO BRAINWASH ARE FEAR MOOGGED BY OTHERS THE SAME WAY. CULTURAL ISSUE FOR US BLACKS BROS
But if black parents don't teach their children bad behaviors & attitudes, then they will be accused of acting white. And they can't risk being accused of that. They'll be shunned, outcast. Basically, "being white" or "whiteness" or whatever buzzword they want to use is the collection of things that lead to being successful. Then, they complain that "whiteness" is the problem because people who don't "embrace whiteness" are less successful, which means there must be discrimination against those who don't do those things that lead to being successful (i.e., "whiteness").
Well I'm 80 grew up on a farm and worked my but off. We never had a TV. Worked in a factory after military. It took me 10 years to afford a TV. Never been rich. How are you doing?
then you need to make friends with people in your family that know how to do this. I have family members that do braids and nails and when it comes to kids or other people they will charge less or sometimes do it for free for some video clout of how good they are. I mean my wife does her own hair and nails so they can learn too. She learned how to do it while growing up and going to college and all that as well. She is a legalize citizen from another country that grew up poor. So I don't get how people saying this. In my life if you hang out with a black guy who is your friend, then go in to a store and are followed around yet the white folks in that store are not being followed you wonder. I am saying that just because they can't afford it don't act like many of these black folks don't do their own stuff either. My growing up, grew up poor. My grandmother use to make her clothes for here and like 9 other kids. Yeah we were poor but we werethe ones followed in the store by the owners where as the white folks in our neighborhoods had no issues. That sad thing is I have a friend that is biracial, and looks almost Latina, moved to a more rural areas, mostly white folks, and she was harassed herself. I understand if you never had experience that but for me one to many times to think this does not exists.
Well ... if you read the words of Peggy McIntosh ... you'll come to realize that "white privliege" is just a general advantage that non-white people don't have. That advantage however doesn't cancel your social class, it doesn't guarantee you being treated fairly by the police, ... It's just an edge. Nothing more.
Forget 'Stolen Valor' now it is 'Stolen Suffer' Some people who looked like me have suffered in the past so give me money and gifts because I happen to look a bit like those who did suffer.
Interesting. People, who do not suffer demand money from people who do not opress them... How far back in history are we going to go? And what about geography? Where are we going to stop?
It's not just grouping people by looks, it's also parents teaching or not teaching children. The inheritance that actually matters is what parents teach--values, work ethic, humility, etc. When parents pass these on from generation to generation, their family will have wealth far beyond gold. (They will also have money, but they will have more than that.) Reparations are demanded by people whose parents failed to pass along these treasures. In other words, they demand to be rewarded for their families' failures because NOT teaching children how to be good people, the importance of learning, how to work hard, etc., IS FAILURE.

The best definition of white/male privilege that I ever heard was "all else being equal the white guy wins." But the problem with that definition is "all else" is never equal.
And these days, the chance of the white guy winning is actually quite low. The chances of the non-white person getting ahead is actually higher, because ... reasons.

The other gal jumped all down her throat, called her a high yellow n***** and then said “You just think you’re better, you just trying to be white!”
My heart just broke for my co-worker who was working super hard to build a good life for herself. Hard work, being a productive member of society, achievement, these aren’t defined by race or skin color. It’s so wrong that some people face opposition like that for just wanting to grow and live. I wasn’t encouraged to do anything great with my life but neither was I discouraged from it over something as arbitrary as skin color.

Yes, stone cold racists...but protected from this label via self induced bite your tongue censorship. In private, among " them" when "they" feel safe... you should hear their racist talk and POVs against Whitey. So, yeah, getting over "whitey" goes back many generations as some honest literature shows. And our poor Asian scholars who excel in academics are passed over for privileged Diddyies.
P.S. As a Chicano, I grew up in SoCal, (Watts, Compton, Long Beach, Wilmington) ...so please don't tell me I don't know caca about " them".
Yeah I literally don't believe you though
@rosslangille3956 Still bothers me to this day that I was passed over for a career I wanted to be as a kid, for lesser qualified candidates in the name of Affirmative Action.
Similar for me when I was trying to get into being a software engineer. Senior engineers are in high demand but it is tough to get your first job. I was directly told in one interview if I were black or a female they would consider me. The tech industry is all the rage hogging minorities and women, leaving men to have a hard time.
Privilege? Going to bed on time as a kid, family meals every night, forced to do homework like it or not, taught manners and respect and social skills, encouraged to get a job as a teen and save money.
THIS IS NOT privilege! It's good parenting.
Raise your kids right, to change the world and the future!!
Good point, however I think good parenting is a privilege. I do think we agree that good parenting isn't uniquely a white thing, or even a race thing in general, but perhaps a lottery. Many individuals grow up with broken families but that doesn't mean it has to be a race thing. Having good parents shouldn't boil down to skin color. There are plenty of good parents of all races.
100%
@@milo4239 Nope, it is not a privilege.
A privilege is a special provision given to a person/group on behalf of the state.
Things that would be privileges:
-being legally allowed to study when others can't
-being exempt from draft
-being exempt from paying taxes
-being legally allowed to kill someone (for example, privileged status of nobility towards their serfs)
Here some things that aren't privileges, these are called "circumstances":
-having a father
-not being born in indebted family
-being born to a billionaire
-not receiving any education/not being forced to attend a school

Be Shapiro said it perfectly. If you’re a young person and don’t want to live in poverty in the future, finish high school, don’t have a baby out of wedlock and wait until you’re at least 21 and, last, work hard at least 40 hours a week. I would also add avoid drugs and alcohol.
I would say skip college and go into the trades where you get paid while getting trained. College just teaches you to be lazy and stupid.
Study, and don’t commit ANY crimes.

What a joke
We want our country back
Keep in mind though. White privilege is that someone white can make those slip ups (baby out of wedlock/drugs/alcohol etc) and still be OK. Often times black people dont recover from mistakes due to a multitude of reasons. I'm saying this agreeing with what Shapiro said. He's absolutely right. Each individual should do what they have to do to succeed regardless of skin color but to pretend there isn't a gap in the degree of difficulty due to skin color is ignoring what's plain to see. The issue is when people try to make white people feel guilty about it. We shouldn't, but we should recognize the imbalance when we see it and not contribute both individually and systemically.
Yeah like a nepo baby like Shapiro would know anything about work.

It's NOT WHITE PRIVILEGE. It's actually Work Ethic. Max weber coined the term protestant work ethic. And yes... Mainly whites followed this philosophy. The factors are Work diligence, Punctuality,,deferment of gratification, primacy of work as a priority. I saw this decades ago and it results success. Sadly it's now fading with broken homes. Basically kids were taught to be responsible for their own success. Parents were kind but strict. No PRIVILEGE involved. We studied hard and did our homework. It's now mainly seen in the Chinese parents who push their children to be their best.

@@kevinleewilliams5119 I felt invisible in high school. I was a poor white girl and since I wasn’t colored I didn’t fit in with any of the groups at the school. I was a loner so I just got a job and worked/study had no social life at all.
Plan B - If I fail in academics or at the job market - I'll blame someone else...
My “White Privilege” allowed me to work full-time during High School & College to pay for my education, room & board, and all my other living expenses.
But at least there was no waiting in any line for me to make tuition payments to the High School and then to the University, while those minorities receiving aid including tuition, books, room & board, and other living expenses had a long waiting line to deal with.
That was my introduction to the Racist, Discrimination policy known as Affirmative Action.
Should I now expect “Reparations” for the institutional racism and discrimination that I endured since I didn’t receive any aid including tuition, books, room & board and other living expenses like so many of a different skin color received?

Born in 1961. Graduated 1979. Didn’t get my first job I want in 1979 because of affirmative action. I was told it was a set aside job. Spend the rest of my life dealing with job and promotion being determined by skin color. My entire life I had to deal with government affirmative action now know as diversity. I have seen more black privilege in my life than any form of white privileged.
I'm so lucky I'm white.. all I had to do to be comfortable and have a home is work my ass off every day for over 40 years now. so sad that most people will be denied this privilege 😢🎉
Dittos. All I had to do was work 2 jobs for 26 years of my adult life. It was a piece of cake growing my own business for 20 years at night and on weekends. Then, I was privileged to be fired for barely any reason at all after 19.5 years at the same company without severance at age 60. I was also lucky enough to not be able to get unemployment. But, at least I couldn't get health insurance ever again. My privilege made it way too expensive. It was a real bummer that after working my butt off growing my own business for 20 years that I no longer needed to be employed. Now, regrettably, My wife and I live a very comfortable life today. I feel so guilty. It's too bad that these victims didn't get all the privilege that I did.

I’m white. I grew up Living in a trailer on the outskirts of Tucson AZ. Grew up with a single mom and two sisters. I never had any privilege, I wore hand me down clothes and grew up on government food stamps.
My race had nothing to do with my success. My upbringing did, I knew I never wanted to live in a trailer again And never wanted to take any hand out from the government. I have a four-year degree from a university and I have been working in the same field for the last 25 years now north of $200,000 a year. It has nothing to do with my race and everything to do with the hard work that I put in over the past 30 + years. Someone might look at me as a white male in his mid-40s and think that he has all the privilege in the world.., yet, I grew up with a single mom literally Living in poverty, my entire childhood
Lazy people want to believe it because of privilege they don't want to admit the reason their lives sucks is due to them and their get up and go, far easier to accept hand out and blame others for their situation.
A lot of people also just make bad decisions, they might go to college get indebt up to their eyeballs, but study women studies or some other BS course then leave and have to get a job at starbucks, but of course its everyone else's fault
Good for uou
This shit doesn’t even need to be said. Too many whites people keep feeling the need to prove they didn’t have privilege.
Just stop acknowledging this nonsense. It’s mainly online anyway.
You worked hard made good decisions that is infact your white privilege I'm not saying that I was told by someone if you work hard and make good decisions is white privilege yeah it makes no sense to me either.
I had a similar upbringing except that we had a house. I went to Cholla High School, which probably has some of the poorest neighborhoods in Tucson. I didn't know we were poor. I knew we didn't have a lot of the material things that "poor" kids had, but we had the right priorities. We're Asian, and we grew up with the expectation that we would go to college. I remember taking the SATs and the other kids were complaining that their scores weren't great because of their background. I thought to myself that I had been going to school with many of them since elementary school, and I scored in the 99th percentile, so they really didn't have a valid excuse. I didn't know what to call it then, but now we call it victimhood.
Btw, I was surprised that the Asian kid even discussed white privilege. I always felt that one of the things that set Asians apart from other minorities was the fact that we don't buy into that crap.
In the 1990's my sister worked with an ER doctor that when he was trying b to get into medical school in the 70's got bumped out entrance to medical school because of affirmative action. Even though he had top grades. He was shocked because he was always told "if you work hard and study hard" you can become a doctor. He had to find where he could go to medical school. Even though he was born in America he could not go to medical school here. Italy had an opening in their medical school so he I entered medical school there having to learn a new language at the same time attending classes. Thankful he returned to America as an ER doctor.

4:44 - She says "Sally" has more privileges over her for being white, like in the job market (which has affirmative action for her but not Sally) or academically (which has black-only scholarships but no white-only scholarships as well as affirmative action and lower standards for blacks).
She then says there are certain things -black- "people of color" (which isn't a thing because non-whites are not even close to be a monolith to lump them together like that) are taught at home. And just like that she hits it on the head.
The "privilege" she thinks exists is that certain parents teach their kids all those soft skills to be successful, like politeness, punctuality, hard work, responsibility, deferred gratification, honesty, etc. ... a some parents don't.
The inheritance that whites have that blacks don't--that generational wealth that activists are so envious of is their traditions, practices, culture, etc. They have two parents at home. They know not to break the law. They want to earn what they get. They want to be good people. If blacks want "privilege," then teach your kids those things and be an example. Yes, it means you will have to "act white."
Replace "privilege" with merit earned and it explains everything. Some people are jealous and envious that a certain demographic has almost entirely invented, built and maintained the modern world.

The reason this is even an issue is because of the way blacks were treated and denied opportunites. My brother complained about having to fight to get a job because of affirmative action. I asked him where his outrage was when blacks were on the receiving end of the problem? There was a reason for affirmative action. My brother also complained about how lazy blacks were at work. I asked if he meant like our dad's white friend who used to rig the meter or welding rod, whichever it was, at work to make it look as though he was welding when he wasn't... and he wasn't the only white person to do that. My brother went silent and then finally admitted that it did happen. There was a stark contrast in his tone. He was very loud and angry when talking about the lazy blacks, but very quiet when speaking about the lazy whites. My point is it is always worse when a black person does the same thing a white person does... that is the mentality, anyway. Having said all that, I agree that times are much better for black people and sometimes they play the victim. There are a lot of problems in the black community that need to be addressed, but I can see how things got to this point. I definitely agree with your last sentence. In fact, I don't really know what I was trying to say. I guess I can see both sides.

“People of color are taught at home that, like, we’re different…”. That’s the problem. Much of black culture is still based in the black power movement. I grew up in the 70s and 80s. White kids bussed to black schools got beat up on the regular. I’ve experienced hostility and racism from blacks, Hispanics etc all my life. If you asked about white privilege then, I would have agreed. If 80% of corporate America is white and black men are carrying a reputation, that makes it easier for the white employee. But today we have the reverse. DEI hired in the last 4 years account for 95% of new corporate hires. Yet the same black on white violence continues. Black privilege is the ability to cry racism while not being held accountable for their own racism.
Africans aren't anywhere near as toxic as blacks in the US.
TRUTH!!
PREACH!
I had a car of black young people stop their car and throw their fast food and drinks at me while I was standing at a crosswalk. Completely unprovoked. That's hostile.
I'm amazed that a straight white male professor can even DISCUSS this without being fired. THAT is the state of our society. Thank god he can. At least for now.
Well……. He’s the special brand of white no one is allowed to criticize .
They are the Super Victims.
Personally I would have chosen a cape instead of a cap for the uniform because they’re fun to wear.
I love that he is teaching them how to critically think not what to think. He is what every teacher should aspire to be.
She's in university and I'm a Heating contractor with a GED who could'nt afford college and I'm priveledged 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
She can’t afford college either 🤣🤣💚
@laurapeterson12 but, since she isn't white, we get to take care of that for her
@@laurapeterson12your first comment is to go to funds. Don't be so ignorant who's to say she didn't get to college with a scholarship with a grant or even her parents helping to put her through school. Don't sit there and cherry pick one ideology based on financial. I work in law enforcement. I see white privilege when it comes to interaction with society. Wayne minority people are pulled over by the police and they did a study on this are treated completely different than Caucasian people. They pulled over 100,000 interactions with the public and the way white people were engaged by the cops compared to blacks and other groups was completely different. When they approached white people in a car they refer to them as men and sir when they approached blacks and browns they automatically refer to them as bro and with much more aggression. Second of all, the college professor in the video didn't even finish his talking point before the guy who put the video up put in his own two cents
Theres scholarships, parents and DEI corporations for that 😂
@@terrillosborne5922 Wow, all that for a sarcastic response. I wasn't picking on her - I was pointing out NO ONE can afford college if they don't have help.
I love being White. Zero White guilt.
I’m a beaner here supporting you brosef don’t let them scare you
Yes, nothing wrong about that.
Me too and I teach my children the same! Do not hate yourself for ‘being white’ always love yourself!
Why would any white person have any more guilt than any other skin colour. The pretence of " racism" makes certain groups very wealthy 😂
As a Mexican American, you shouldn’t have any guilt and there’s nothing wrong with being proud of who you are in your culture, although, modern society will tell you, you shouldn’t be.
Professor provides a safe space to discuss and examine facts, the opposite of how the media baits and traps people into following a false narrative. Respectful, non-judgemental conversation and discussion. Awesome.
We used to take vacations to the beach. Because it was free. My whole family would go, except for my dad. He couldn’t miss any work. He worked double time so we could go to the beach. That’s my white privilege.
I grew up on a farm. Start working very young. My family never had vacation. So vacation is a joke.
People in my family today picked cotton but not as slaves but for pennies on the lbs. Other people in my family have spiral staircases and more money than most, yeah uhhhhh all in the same family. Read a book ninja.
My white parents were immigrants fm Greece. Both worked in factories,and all of us 4 children got some higher education after highschool. No government help at all. They had no idea what that was. We all worked part time in the summer during high school. Soo there is no white privilege here. Just hard work.
I'm in Michigan. I'm white. I've never been given anything. In fact, the state refused to help me with $13,000 in medical bills. I'm on a fxed income. Medicare bites. I have nothing. Yet, I'm supposed to pay it off alone. Had i gone to TX for 6 mo & moved back, then they'd help because I'd be a migrant. I've lived here for 59 years as a native of MI & I'm nothing to them (DHS).
Did you actually apply for Medical Assistance from the state?
Do you have both A and B parts?
It was a medically necessary procedure, right? It wasn't elective?
The only reason you wouldn't be able to get it is because you make more than the base threshold.
If you have Medicare/Medicaid, you also need a supplemental insurance. You need to go over your policy and see what changes could be made to help you more.
I recently had my third back surgery. That runs about 150 grand. The total I have to pay is roughly 800 dollars. (I'm on a payment plan with the hospital.)
There's something there that seems like it's being overlooked. If you have Medicare and your supplemental insurance, there should be no reason for you to pay that much out of pocket. Unless you went to a doctor or specialist that is not in your insurance network.
Victim mentality is a curse on society
Obviously you're privileged, what else can you say?
@Eduardo-c5h1d obviously you always the play the victim card.
@@Eduardo-c5h1d so are all the black westerners living in the same society with the same laws and same opportunities. Don’t know why black people aren’t more embarrassed to see their kinfolk shirk effort in favour of victimhood.
I used to recruit for the Navy. Part of my job was the NROTC coordinator for my area. I submitted 30 applications mostly white males and a few females. Every single one was denied. Some had insane ACT/SAT scores. I never could get any interest in the hispanic and african american communities. Not for a lack of effort as i would frequent my 3 high schools and 2 community colleges almost daily. Anyone want to guess why all 30 of my applicants were denied? They werent diverse is the answer i was given.
Yup. Everyone is a victim. I'm a victim of society, I'm a victim of the patriarchy. I'm a victim of money, eating food, drinking water. Being an adult is realizing that we're all adults and thriving nonetheless, we're all victims to time.
Yep breathing is killing me slowly, I'm a victim o air. And my parents that didn't ask me if I wanted to be born.
Yeah, if you thinking about the significance of passage of time, there's significance in the passage of time. Yeah.
I'm a victim of my own victimhood victimizing me victimly, every victim that ends in y. Wait...
Some times during the passage of time you don't have time to realize how significant the time that past was as the significant time went through the passage in an untimely time...passage.
Wait, time out I need more time. I think.?
When we make being a victim embarrassing again, people will stop trying to be a victim. They will work hard to NOT be a victim and to hide ever being a victim. And when people work to not be victims, they succeed.
I'm white and I grew up poor. I went to college with financial assistance. I got an associates degree and baking certificate and went to a major university but did not graduate because I couldn't get anymore financial assistance. I only had about a year left. So, where is my " privilege"? I am now a care giver to my husband and am living just above the poverty line. Where is my "privilege"? Counting on Jesus to help me through everything I go through is what I am learning to do. I did NOT have an easy life. I was abused growing up. Where is my "privilege"?
You don't need privilege you just need more faith
Giving up was your mistake.
You know nothing about caring for a loved one that’s disabled if that’s how you feel. My brother is a quad and needs 24/7 care. Life stops when that happens, we didn’t give up, we put others before ourselves. If you think the gub’ment cares for them well, you’re wrong again. Good day to you and God bless you.
@@ljshoreslokal try staying on topic, not everything is about your personal situation.
Well Stated.
As a white woman I have never received anything for just being white. My brown husband gets minority scholarships, special considerations for jobs for his skin color alone. What can I get that non-white people can’t? I’m just not understanding what my “white privilege” has gotten me.🤷🏼♀️
My Filipino wife was given a promotion over a white lady with more education AND experience. Even my wife, the direct beneficiary, sees what is wrong with this picture
Depends on how you look at it I guess. This is all anecdotal but since I’m half Native American, half German I learned to check the Caucasian box for jobs. I’d applied for three different jobs with the county I live in, two of them I check native, the other white. I only received a letter for testing and eventually an interview for the job id checked the white box on. Got some funny looks at the interview but I got in 😂. I don’t dwell much on race but I’ll play the game to get ahead.
@@skeezix8156 Checking white may get your foot in the door, but that's only because white people known to be good employees. IT'S NOT PRIVILEGE.
@@skeezix8156 I am wondering where you live because I believe that might have an effect on how you get treated. Incidentally, I am part Native as well, but pass for white, even though I have asian looking eyes like a lot of Natives do. I have had some white people ask me if I was chinese ffs🙄
@@wolfman122970 I’m in the northwest, you’re right there’s several factors. Proximity to the reservation, native population percentage etc. I’m pretty dark for half, most times people will start speaking to me in Spanish. My kids are 3/4 native since I married a full blood Navajo. They look kind of Asian and people do speak Chinese to them, my youngest knows fluent Chinese yet they’re happy when they find out she isn’t
You are right. I finished High School. I went for some college education but I didn't finish it. I worked very hard throughout my days(delivery boy, busboy, delivery food, construction, then I.T.). I am now with a car, a home and a retirement account. I guess I fulfilled my American dream.
The fact they talk about white privilege, and not black privilege as well....says alot.
Interesting…never put that spin on it.
For 400 years black people were enslaved in the America's so it's just silly to try and flip this around. That's like when women ask why men can sleep around and they can't, because we are literally different, it's entirely not the same lol.
You’re hilarious!!! He knows what white privilege is. Bottom line it’s the fact that in general white people get to be assessed on who they are and given the benefit of the doubt in situations that may seem sketchy and that can vary from how police interact with them vs more serious things such as getting loans. Very rarely do they get judged on their literal ra*ing, lying, thieving and pillaging history. Black people in contrast are rarely afforded that privilege and instead decisions are made immediately based off color. That’s white privilege. If you live in America and you don’t understand that, you’re either a liar, intellectually dishonest or both.
So what’s Black privilege?
@@wilhelmdukegetting the right to get into universities or jobs doing less just because of being black
There is thin privilege, rich privilege, tall privilege, pretty privilege, 2 parent family privilege, intelligence privilege, white privilege, poc privilege…etc. Life is not fair. The one who works the hardest doesn’t necessarily win the biggest prize. Focussing on what you don’t have is defeatist Everyone has some type of difficulty to overcome, and living in a victim mentality is a sad way to live.
Failure Nd difficulty builds resilience in most people.
When people are embarrassed for being a victim, they will work hard to make sure they are never victims. And then they will be successful.
People who seek benefit for being a victim will always dig themselves a deeper hole than what they will get in support.
I think their single moms are dependent on them to curve their loneliness so they tell them they can't ever strive to leave their nest and then blame white ppl - who knows - but also iq has alot to do with it

Sally has more privileges..... but can't think of a single one.
Exactly.
Of course there IS privilege and a lot of it comes in position of power, not the common folk.
Happy Wednesday,
Im a white male, and recently someone accused me of having white privilege. My comment to this person was.....what opportunities do I have that you dont have in 2024?? He had NO answer.
They never do because they never need one.
@@duanewright1412 Try being alive without the fear of being targeted, that is the priviledge. You view the priviledge as opportunity of status or wealth, but it is the right to live without fear of being targeted even when you are living as an upholding hard working citizen.
@cmp319 I view opportunities as any opportunity. I was targeted and looked at funny for many years because I had long hair and played music. I've been jumped and approached for being white. I've been pulled over by the police because my appearance fit the so-called mold. I was angry at those situations at the time, but I never let those things stop me from moving forward. I still hung out at my friends' houses (Some were black, some were white), I didn't fear all black people or police because of the ignorant ones I dealt with when I was younger. I'm a golden rule guy......its the best rule and covers everyone.
CHEERS to ALL
@@duanewright1412 just giving perspective and the difference when they say white priviledge and Always being viewed as the target not that people succumb to it. Just being it by the world. May God have mercy on us all.
@@cmp319 debunked a million times. Get a life and maybe some facts.
I'm a person of color, which is called white. My privileges as a senior citizen is to pay high taxes, which goes into programs that have never worked. Go get an education and work. I have worked two jobs to pay for my kids college. Retired military and hate working with the VA. Get jury duty. Worked in law enforcement and get treated like a dog. Called a racist for being white. The list goes on. But, I am so glad to hear that several countries like Chad and Sudan are doing so great with their leadership, that people are moving there.
This conversation needs to be had in every school in the country. Children need to be taught that NO ONE IS DIFFERENT by default. Wealthy children have privilege, and non wealthy children don’t, and everyone in between is on a spectrum. Skin color does not dictate your future anymore! So many children are being brainwashed and knocked down from the start and it’s heartbreaking.
No one can actually give an example of white privilege.
My dad raised my brother and I by himself till my step mom came into the picture. She treated us like we were her kids and she was the only mom we knew. Our birth mother decided to run off with Tyrone and get hopped up on meth and heroine . I only spoke to that woman a few times my entire life. My step mom IS my mom.
What a lady 👍🏾

It's refreshing to have a Sociology professor that hands out hard truths and actually makes students critically think about social issues, rather than parrots.
It's refreshing to have a sociology professor that is not a cultural marxist idiot.
The first time I was exposed to “white privilege” was at a ladies’ Bible Study. We all lined up, took a giant step forward if I was white, grew up in a white middle-class family, etc, etc. And I was at the front at the end of the giant steps forward. I was rolling my eyes and muttering to myself “take 5 giant steps backward if you were sexually abused your entire childhood by that white stepfather. I worked hard for the 40 years of being an RN: Not only the hardship of learning nursing, but how not to cry every time someone is angry at you, freezing up each time someone criticizes you.
"Nothing has ever happened to me or anyone I know, but I have FEELINGS."
Wait, how do I sign up for my white privilege card? I didn't know it existed until now, and I'm 49. So please help. I've been through hell and back
Sorry, but I think there's a cutoff. Only a certain amount of applicants are accepted. The rest will have to deal with the same shit as every other race. Also, it's not just race but wealth is a factor.
Get a DNA test. 5% Neanderthal means you've been biracial and oppressed since 40,000 BC.

Critical thinking about what is REALLY the situation vs. what she has been TOLD her entire life.
As a white man how do you expect me to live with these people?
well you are going to have to get more and more used to it because we are going to become a minority soon- maybe even not exist in 200 to 300 years from now or maybe sooner. I know some people are cheering this- even some white liberals. Jews are pushing it. Oh and A. H. didn't want to take over the world- he wanted a state for the German people and to expand it eastward- and a German state that wasn't controlled be non-Germans, a.k.a., Jews.
She Explained it by accident BLACK KIDS ARE TOLD BAD ADVICE ABOUT SOCIETY BY PARENTS WHO BRAINWASH ARE FEAR MOOGGED BY OTHERS THE SAME WAY.
CULTURAL ISSUE FOR US BLACKS BROS
But if black parents don't teach their children bad behaviors & attitudes, then they will be accused of acting white. And they can't risk being accused of that. They'll be shunned, outcast.
Basically, "being white" or "whiteness" or whatever buzzword they want to use is the collection of things that lead to being successful. Then, they complain that "whiteness" is the problem because people who don't "embrace whiteness" are less successful, which means there must be discrimination against those who don't do those things that lead to being successful (i.e., "whiteness").
And the parents laugh at their kids insulting the police or them and think its a flex or funny 😂 then the belt
Well I'm 80 grew up on a farm and worked my but off. We never had a TV. Worked in a factory after military. It took me 10 years to afford a TV. Never been rich. How are you doing?

I’m white. And neither of my college age kids can afford to have their nails done, or hair braided. But hey we are privileged apparently?
then you need to make friends with people in your family that know how to do this. I have family members that do braids and nails and when it comes to kids or other people they will charge less or sometimes do it for free for some video clout of how good they are. I mean my wife does her own hair and nails so they can learn too. She learned how to do it while growing up and going to college and all that as well. She is a legalize citizen from another country that grew up poor. So I don't get how people saying this. In my life if you hang out with a black guy who is your friend, then go in to a store and are followed around yet the white folks in that store are not being followed you wonder. I am saying that just because they can't afford it don't act like many of these black folks don't do their own stuff either. My growing up, grew up poor. My grandmother use to make her clothes for here and like 9 other kids. Yeah we were poor but we werethe ones followed in the store by the owners where as the white folks in our neighborhoods had no issues. That sad thing is I have a friend that is biracial, and looks almost Latina, moved to a more rural areas, mostly white folks, and she was harassed herself. I understand if you never had experience that but for me one to many times to think this does not exists.
I just got my hair cut for the first time in a year today. It was baaaaaad
Well ... if you read the words of Peggy McIntosh ... you'll come to realize that "white privliege" is just a general advantage that non-white people don't have.
That advantage however doesn't cancel your social class, it doesn't guarantee you being treated fairly by the police, ... It's just an edge. Nothing more.
Forget 'Stolen Valor' now it is 'Stolen Suffer' Some people who looked like me have suffered in the past so give me money and gifts because I happen to look a bit like those who did suffer.
Interesting. People, who do not suffer demand money from people who do not opress them... How far back in history are we going to go? And what about geography? Where are we going to stop?
It's not just grouping people by looks, it's also parents teaching or not teaching children. The inheritance that actually matters is what parents teach--values, work ethic, humility, etc. When parents pass these on from generation to generation, their family will have wealth far beyond gold. (They will also have money, but they will have more than that.)
Reparations are demanded by people whose parents failed to pass along these treasures. In other words, they demand to be rewarded for their families' failures because NOT teaching children how to be good people, the importance of learning, how to work hard, etc., IS FAILURE.
Well damn that's all ppl all ppl have suffered in America - read the book titled - masterless men - it's very telling

This professor takes the best tact to convey his points.
The best definition of white/male privilege that I ever heard was "all else being equal the white guy wins." But the problem with that definition is "all else" is never equal.
And these days, the chance of the white guy winning is actually quite low. The chances of the non-white person getting ahead is actually higher, because ... reasons.
