12. White privilege means not being affected by negative stereotypes that have been perpetuated and ingrained so much into American society that people believe them to be fact.
I hope no one tells them that was a propaganda poster meant to represent the "Huns" (read white Austro-Hungarians& Germans)

There is actually some validity to some of this, but the people who post this shite all over the internet are so narrow-sighted and obnoxious that I automatically want to hate every bit of it.

racism will come to a end when (lol) black people stop obsessing over it.

Or when we stop incarcerating them so prolifically.

People on this board talk about black people obsessing over racism more than black people talk about racism in general.

Cultural appropriation?
Taking (or "stealing") elements of another culture, typically by white people. Tribal tattoos, dreadlocks, Native American jewelry, etc. have all been cited as cultural appropriation. I've seen plenty about that on Tumblr...

We have living proof in the oval office that being black is only a disadvantage if you allow it to be.

For the most part that's not racism...

They forgot one: white privilege permits you to be oblivious to your privilege and become irrationally upset when someone calls you out on it. No one is saying all white people are bad. This is simply a post that points out aspects of white privilege. You don't have to be racially prejudiced to benefit from white privilege. I don't think women are inferior, however I still benefit from male privilege.

This is not an attack on Euro Americans. Those who are being defensive do so because it is out of their comfort zone to conceptualize that when they wake in the morning, their worries are completely different than ours. It's not fair, and it's never easy to accept the fact that Euro Americans have more privilege than others. I mean who wants to live with that, right? This is not an attack, this is us realizing that our journey to success is more difficult, and thinking, well if my fellow civilians can live without these difficulties, why should I?
I want to be free. If I ever have children, I want them to feel safe around cops. I want them to know that people can be good and won't assume they are criminals because of their caramel skin. Is this too much to ask for? NO. Unfortunately, this wont be the case.
quote:
If you can't admit there is such a thing as white privilege than you are part of the problem. No one said white people are terrible or should be blamed for the stuff the article mentions but its an interesting commentary on what white people have better than the rest of us. Oh and if you don't think you have white privilege, book a ticket to NYC on a airline-if you aren't deciding what to wear to the airport by what is easiest to remove when you have been selected for the "random" strip search. If you aren't worried about that then you enjoy some form of privilege.

This is a really great post and does a good job of provoking thought. But a question: Would there be another way to find a picture for comparison in #12? The great ape carrying the Kultur club and the woman is actually the Kaiser's Germany. So that is a representation of the Barbaric, Ape-Like Hun (Germans) trying to overtake America and her allies... Thus the request to enlist in the Army. There is actually something kind of racist about assuming that because it is a giant ape/beast, it must be representing an african-american.

They should try using my strategy to stay out of prison: not committing crimes.

Most to all of white people know there's white privilege. No shite, we get it. But there's not much we can do about it huh? Should we cry everyday about how much it sucks to be black? What do they expect us to do?

White privilege means you can be articulate and well spoken without people being “surprised.”
Now whose fault is that exactly?
quote:Post this with Bieber pics. Is this idiot actually asserting no one talks bad about him and his idiotic dress?
You can wear and act however you’d like without being labeled a thug, low life, gangster, etc.
quote:This is just fantasyland. Has this person ever noticed how every time some white racist acts out, he becomes representative of all of us?
White privilege allows you to speak on any particular subject without being the sole representative for your entire race.
quote:Um. Again. WHOSE fault it that exactly? Affirmative action anyone????
White privilege means no one questions why you got that really great job; it’s assumed you were just highly qualified.
Just one long list of stupidity.
