Democrats, liberals and progressives are not in any way anti-white.

[Politruk]

They are anti-white privilege, that's all.

To the privileged who don't care - and to those who are so assimilated into the hierarchy of privilege that they're convinced they deserve their inferior position - dismantling privilege feels like oppression.

 

[Politruk]

DIE is not anti-white. Affirmative action was not anti-white.

 

[Politruk]

And not anti-male, anti-het, or anti-cis, either.

 

[Politruk]

And yes,white privilege does still exist. It was not legislated out of existence by the Civil Rights Act. It did not die with Obama's election.

There are two types of people out there: those who know this, and MAGAts. You are not going to get through to the latter.

Worked examples[edit]​

The concept of privilege can be applied to many different social justice areas, including class and wealth distribution, racism, or sexism. Privilege is essentially the immunity that some (usually majority, usually in-power) classes have against these forms of discrimination. As well as these "hidden advantages", there is also the case of how society is set up to treat majority vs minority classes in terms of their expectations, preconceptions, and stereotyping. It is best illustrated by a few examples of clear cases and subtle cases.

Walking home at night[edit]​

The majority of rape cases are male-on-female, a statistical asymmetry that is well-quantified.[1] The result is that a fear of rape, or a threat of rape, is a real thing for women far more than for men. Generally speaking, men have fewer reasons (both statistical and tangible) to fear a sexual assault. This is what is being referred to by "privilege" in this sense. Men have a particular privilege not to experience this fear, or in other words women have a particular under-privilege (or lack of privilege) to experience it.

Public displays of affection[edit]​

Heterosexual imagery is used in the vast majority of advertising and media, reflecting the sexual tendencies of the vast majority of people. Heterosexual behaviour is on constant display, is rarely ever challenged, and is effectively "normalised". So, consider the cases where people say that they're all for LGBT equality (cf. "Not racist, but..."), but disapprove of it being displayed prominently and "rammed down their throats". This is a classic case of privilege and privilege-blindness, because ostensibly overt displays of affection from homosexuals are actually no more or less overt than those from heterosexuals. Boy-girl hand-holding is unlikely to even register for most people, while boy-boy or girl-girl combinations in the street — because of their relative rarity — are likely to produce a much stronger signal.

In short, those who ask homosexual couples to be less open and "in your face" about their gayness simply don't realise how open and "in your face" heterosexual couples are.

Racial profiling[edit]​

See the main article on this topic: Racial profiling
The Arizona bill Arizona SB 1070https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5a/Wikipedia%27s_W.svg/12px-Wikipedia%27s_W.svg.png attracted significant controversy because it encouraged racial profiling of suspected illegal immigrants. This appeared to attract broad support from Americans, with 60% backing the idea of racial profiling. However, the majority of people voting were (and still are, presumably) white and therefore wouldn't have been the victims of racial profiling in the first place. Being put at a disadvantage for their skin color in their own country was never a foreseeable consequence for those people, and so they lacked any personal salience towards the issue.

This lack of salience is exactly what the "privilege" argument addresses. People make the assumption (often without realizing it) that because something is not an issue for them, it should not be an issue for others. This is clearly not going to be the case.

Car repair and other things that are seen as unfeminine[edit]​

A common demonstration of privilege that most people will see is the occasional demonstration by TV news shows of what happens when women take cars into repair garages. Quite simply, dishonest mechanics are more likely to cheat women on repair costs than men.

Similarly, websites like Not Always Right[2] show stories of women being taken less seriously than men by customers in places like video game shops.

Non-standard dialects[edit]​

People who are native speakers of non-standard dialects such as African American Vernacular English or Cockney may be discriminated against as being somehow "inferior" or stupid because they supposedly speak "wrong" or "lower-class" English. Of course, non-standard dialects are not "incorrect" forms of the standard language, but simply different things with different rules (except, of course, those who add "r" to the end of words where it doesn't belong—that's just linguistic mayhem). Native speakers of non-standard dialects are inherently disadvantaged when it comes to learning the rules of the standard variety, but standard language speakers usually do not realize this. In almost all cases the standard is associated with the Metropolitan area dominating the country (e.g. Paris in France, or Buffalo in the US[note 1]), the ruling class(es) (e.g. public school educated upper class twits in Britain) or both. Discrimination against non-standard dialects is thus a not-so-subtle form of classism and/or ethnic discrimination.

Non-majority first languages[edit]​

Most countries have more than one language in them. Be it indigenous to the area (e.g. Navajo to part of the Southwest of the United States) or the result of immigration (e.g. Romani[note 2] in big parts of Europe). However, most education systems have traditionally only accepted one language. Hence children whose parents only speak the language discriminated against have vastly different (i.e. worse) chances in school. If you are unable to see your native speaker privilege, imagine having to learn Quechua when you are six years old, being criticized for your accent while learning it (see the above point), and being unable to get anything from government and most businesses unless you do it in a language you are not as fully comfortable in as your mother tongue.

Privilege blindness[edit]​

What is so difficult about privilege, and is highlighted in the racial profiling case above, is that it is a concept that is very counter-intuitive to privileged groups. Privilege is, by the social justice definition, the advantages people have that they don't often think about because they never have to experience the oppressive side. Understanding it requires an active effort to see things from the perspective of other, underprivileged people. This can lead to problems both small-scale and the large, from a man's chronic inability to get women to talk to him to the imbalance in performance in English, math and science between the sexes and sexism in hiring in the hard sciences, computer sciences and nursing.[3][4][5][6]

LMFAO...then why do they freak the fuck out over saying something as simple as "It's ok to be white."

And why do they promote being "less white"??

You woke tards are lying to yourselves....you're anti-white racist shit stains.

 

[YDB95]

LMFAO...then why do they freak the fuck out over saying something as simple as "It's ok to be white."

Because of who has popularized that line. After all, "From the river to the sea" doesn't look offensive out of context either, does it?

And why do they promote being "less white"??

They don't.

"All lives matter" is just another way of saying "Black lives don't," and you know it.

No it's not, you "know it" because you're racist as fuck.

Thanks for demonstrating the lefts anti-white mentality perfectly.

Standard lefty.

 

[Politruk]

Anti-white racism never matters. Whites as whites have nothing to complain about in our society.

 

[PintlerMan]

na they hate more people than just white people, because thats all they see is a persons color, they are racists, the people that founded the KKK, Jim Crow, fought the equal right act, yeah the evil demented democrats. Just own it, founders of the KKK, what a great history they have, and you support them.

Klansmen vote Republican now.

I wouldn't go that far (and the fact that some lefties feel the need to say things like that has a LOT to do with why the BoBos of the world get away with painting us as anti-white). But yes, it is fair to point out that white privilege does still exist and does make a difference.

 

[Politruk]

And that has been going on a long time. You may be sure the Klansmen vote for Reagan.

Ahhhhh so we've moved on from it's not a thing to it doesn't really matter.

Whites as whites have nothing to complain about in our society.

Except all the racism and hate 1/2 the country is pointing at them.

 

[UltraChad]

^^ Say the Democrats who want to re-institute racial segregation....LOL

LOL we get away with it because it's true.

But yes, it is fair to point out that white privilege does still exist and does make a difference.

And there it is, thanks for that confirmation bud!!!

Democrats.....as racist as ya'll have ever been.

Bet you think voter ID is racist too!!!

Actual liberals (those who are pro individual and civil liberty) are all MAGA now.

Liberalism is "FAR REICH ADJACENT!!!" how dare you believe people have inalienable rights, that's far reich!!

Not a single one left among the Democrats, who are now trying to blame WW2 genocide on free speech.

So what do the "Progressives" stand for these days?

.Child mutilation
.Profligate and unaccounted spending of the taxpayers dollar.
.Censorship
.Promotion of the unqualified.
.Destructive propagandizing of school children

I'm sure I missed a couple.

Disarmament of the population and total loss of any self defense rights.
The absolute end of all property rights.
The end of federalism and states rights.

These are all things they are actively just doing and or pushing for.

What they really want though?? What really gets Democrat panties soaking fuckin' wet.....

The forced break up of any and all families, children belong to and will be raised by the state.
All things ABSOLUTELY and totally controlled by the state.
Every fucking aspect of every persons life down to wiping their ass's must have totalitarian Karen level control.
That's what really gets the Democrats juicy and excited.
