How the HELL can we get rid of racism when we have a professor who is fitting stuff into her racist agenda and spreading hate. This stuff dont create dialogue, it just causes resentment from those who are not like that and those white people who dont feel the WHITE PRIVILEGE. I have never got anything given to me because I am white. She is talking about me because Yes, I am white and I am not like that. But her students who have her will get the impression yeh, white people are all like that.

Maybe because it fits your agenda is why you dont disagree with her. I guess you feel all white people are privileged.

 

Well for starters, I am bi-racial, half black and half white... So having an agenda against either race is a remarkably delusional idea in my case...

 

If you are offended by what she said, maybe that will give you a glimpse into the every day life of a minority. I don't steal, do or deal drugs, shoot people, rob people or eat fried chicken all the time. Those are only some of the stereotypes attached to African Americans. Do I let them bother me? Absolutely not, because I know I don't fit the bill.

 

One professor isn't going to cure or worsen racism. This topic is a double edged sword, and many people are only concerned with it when they are the target. Racism is alive and well in this country with whites, blacks, Hispanics and every other demographic that resides in our country. That's the facts. I don't think every white dude in America is a serial killer, I know better than that. Just like I know every black dude isn't a thug. If you know you don't fit the stereotype, then I encourage you to let it roll off your back as much as possible.

White privilege is real. Connecting that to mentally unstable people going on shooting rampages is absolutely dumb. But white privilege is real.

 

We all know that, right?

 

It's crazy to me that so many people deny this.

White people in the United States benefit from certain economic and social benefits, much of which is descended from the institutional racism that was absolutely ingrained into this country from its founding. Now, much of that institutional racism is gone, but its effects are still very much alive in the social and economic structure of this country. A lot of the academics that are really into this theory take it way too far, but I don't think it's possible to look around this country in 2014 and not see the vestiges of 200 years of institutional racism.

 

Ok, I wanted to see where you went with it, however, that's not what her article purports or is the point she is trying to make. Not the way I read it anyway.

I dont agree it is an everyday thing like this for minorities. She is a professor at a major college, tell me she doesnt have privileges?

I do fit the stereotype, Im white. Thats why it upsets me that garbage like what she says just goes unreported.

^So now you can speak for minorities and what they experience on a daily basis? :lol2: :lol2:

Why not, she is speaking about all white people and how much privilege we all have and how everything is just given to us.

 

I dont look at stuff as in minoritys. I feel you get what you earn and if you work hard you will get it. I group us all together and dont single out things. If you do that then you allow race and sterotypes to get involved.

On campus she does but go off campus and as a black woman she has none. I don't think anyone can deny that whites and males have privleges others do not.

:lol: :lol: Your posting history says this couldn't be further from the truth.

Exactly. Being born a white male gives you a "leg up" on everyone else in the game of life.

It didnt give me a leg up on anything. If anything it has made me a target of MINORITIES.

This isnt the case in times we live in today.

And we know she has no privileges off campus how?

So what are the priviliges us white boys have others dont?

Post 29 had an interesting link, did you read it?

 

As males, and particularly white males, we do not have many of the challenges that non whites and females face. I think the term "priviliges" throws people off.

I read it and still say its not like that in this time.

 

If you dress nice, act nice, have manners, work hard, be polite, on time, good personality. Then you will earn stuff. Its not a privilige to have these, its a choice.

If you want to have a chip on your shoulder and feel angry that you arent what others are and act that way. Then no, you wont make it long. Hopefully Rutgers will see this and act accordingly.

Good read... White Privilege Causes Everything | National Review Online

 

The most relevant part is this...

 

"So: When a white guy shoots up a school, white privilege is to blame. When a half-Asian-half-white guy shoots up a college town, white privilege is to blame. When a black guy shoots up a military installation, white privilege is to blame. Half-Asians are white for all intents and purposes, as are white-Hispanics. But our mixed-race president is a “black man in the White House.”"

I think the melting pot has been smoking pot.
