"Guess I really am white, and that's all I'll ever be
In a world where it's cooler to be a minority
Where you can dance and you can rap if you're African or black
But as a cracker what you do is automatically just wack"
- Rucka Rucka Ali, 'Coincidental Racist'
I consider white privilege to be something that allows me to do something that I couldn't do if I were any other skin color. I've always had the feeling this is invented by people who blame their social and economic misfortune on their skin color. People who just pull the race card in stead of actively trying to change the situation they are in. We ALL have the same rights. If you're educated and have good manners etc. you'll notice these privilege things don't exist. Example; President Obama, the most powerful person on earth. What I'm trying to say is that I see many people use this as an excuse and they're looking at the government like ' do something about the fact I'm struggling'. in the end nobody is gonna do **** for you. You have to help yourself in the end. Just my opinion.... Racism is a distinct issue and I absolutely believe and acknowledge it exists but that has nothing to do with 'white privilege'.

I agree with this. But trust me that even with good manners and being educated you will still be stereotyped.
I learned to deal with that fact and keep it moving.
"White privilege" doesn't exist
In this day anyone who is treats others with respect and works hard succeeds in life
This is a naive way of thinking that is not really true. Plenty of people black,white etc work hard every day and don't reap the benefits of their hard work.

Then the fact that white people also suffer negates the concept of white privilege
For me, it seems like those who keep ranting on about white privilege spend more time complaining, not doing

How do you know that though?. Sounds like you're trying to twist something that wasn't even there.
White privilege is not "White people live easier lives, POC can't be successful because of their race" so I don't know why I'm seeing some of those comments in here.
I believe people who deny white privilege are ignorant about it and sheltered. Like, there are statistics and concrete evidence..
Now end this thread 
Bad example.
