legacy of slavery. you dont seem to know history.
Did you know that Africans sold Africans to slavers? Do you also know that slavery is not the actual cause of the Civil War?

Please stop with all the accusations.

Good because you dont really see it. people have suffered a long time. they wont often tell you what they suffered cos they just want to get on with life until they cant.
Again, because you do not quote, I have to ask who you are talking to.

i suppose in america each state is like its own mini country or kingdom with its own ways of doing things.
there is a real disconnect amongst people...not sure why they think they are 'united'.
LOL! Is there anything you think is good or are you just into slamming the US?

Well it seems you certainly found your niche to complain in. :rolleyes: It's almost comedic as you post one complaint after the other without really understanding what you are talking about. But that's ok. It's your choice

He has already done 'something about it'. Find something to be thankful for and rejoice in your Savior.

being invisible has its benefits. nobody can wrongly judge you on outward appearance.
so if God knows you heart....skin colour, eye colour does not matter. then what matters then? .....your heart.

OK. Understand now. Well, that's a part of the misconceptions people here are expressing they actually believe.

I know better. As it is, rich people have plenty of problems too and you cannot take it with you. ;) And lest the rumor start I am a millionaire, I am not. A millionaire. LOL!

Sometimes, choices people make have a direct connection to whatever it is they are complaining about.
White privilege doesn't necessarily mean you're automatically successful just because you're white
White privilege is when almost every historical monument looks like you
White privilege is not having empathy for people who feel like these monuments are offencive because they are monuments to me and who enslaved their ancestors
WhiteWhite privilege is getting lesser sentences for similar crimes as your color counterparts

ok in education.....whites were priveliged over blacks back in the day when schools started it was segregated and no black person could go with white people....when it was desegragated they still had to sit aprt whites always go the best and first dibs and the black schools were underfunded.
in some schools parents dont even want black or dark skinned teachers teaching their white children.

in schools if you were black often you were told by white teachers you had to sit at the back. before you even opened you mouth.

in housing.....if you were not white you were automatically turned away so you coulndt even rent with racist policies and attitudes.

jobs...if your name is foreign sounding you dont even get a reply or lookin.

in healthcare....some people do not want anyone with black skin even touching them.

And you're saying policy hasn't been in effect since the 60's to give advantage to minorities .. You're wrong again ..

It seems those who believe in what they call white privilege also think they are privileged to thoughts of all white people and generalize until people are going to react in a way that no one may like. I would not be one who does that, but I have had some thoughts changed by the way people are acting and the way they seem to think it is ok to act when everyone is hurt by what they do.

Some of my ancestors were badly treated and beaten and abused. But that does not mean I hate everyone from the UK.

well the paler you are the more you stand out but you might need to wear MORE makeup if you are a woman. Its kinda freaky to be the ONLY person who is xxx in any given situation. But I am used to it. People have all these prejuidcies about you based on apperances. women get this all the time amongst men talking past them. Never get a say ......centuries of this.

Did I get which video you meant right? I think the video with Mr Floyd is straight forward
Yes it was thank you, sorry I took so long to respond I made it full screen and slowed it down to read the fine details. And the comment you quoted was "in general for everyone" because it seemed as if some of us were speaking of the Buffalo incident and others were disagreeing because they assumed we were speaking of Mr. Floyd.

a lot of people judge on skin as the first thing they see.
Really? Can you point out some in this thread? Or perhaps are you doing that yourself by lumping all white people together?

I do not get the impression you actually want to have discussion here but would rather just complain about just about everything and I'm sorry that you are doing that. I think it best to just let you be.
