So what do you call it when I had the same experience, but the guy checking the receipt was black. The folks behind me he stopped to check was black.
even black people who are honest with themselves know that they only have themselves to blame

Vice-versa. Checked out and was leaving with my wife and two of my 4 kids with $400 of tailgating shite. Everything's bagged up and in the buggy. Lady not only asked for my receipt, but went through a few bags looking for the items. After about 5-6 bags, I told her let me have the receipt, I"m getting my money back if she's going to hold me up and act like I'm some common criminal. And I'm white.

The only time I have ever experienced anything close to "white privilege", it's been by black people. I just think it's folks being nice.

Hey man, look around at some other folks in the Walmart, black and white, young and old, well dressed or not.
You will form preliminary opinions about the character of each person that is dependent on the totality of the clues. It will be formed based on subtle perceptions that you could hardly fully articulate.
Some of the black folks will look totally respectable, and you won’t even be able to say why. Some of the white folks will look a little less respectable.
It’ll be things like clothing, eye movement, eye contact, attitude, confidence, type of merchandise being purchased, etc. etc.
Quit blaming everything of skin color.

Has nothing to do with being white.
It has to do with your appearance.

I watched congressman Graves with his whole family get shaken down to count every item in there bags. They had their own cloth bags shopping at Walmart. Dude didn't know what the hell they were up to. I guess that's when white privilege backfires.

I've gone into Enterprise and they just ask me for my license and what insurance company I have. No docs required. Heard them ask some other people where they’re employed, proof of insurance documents and limits and whether they rent or own their home.

now that I think about it , it might be because they think im Mexican and its a holdup

It's so tough these days being white.

Your first white privilege experience? Do you not pick up the free goody bags at the white peoples meetings? I always grab at least a couple of them.
Posted on 6/5/19 at 1:43 pm to WaydownSouth
When I send the help out to purchase necessities for the home they rarely get checked. Guess my privilege has infected them

Were he people behind you black?
