You're absolutely right. The concept of white privilege doesn't exist because you haven't experienced it. I got it.

There's no white privilege. There's simply white people living their lives and you needing to rationalize the gap between their success and the success of other groups.
No government on the planet, or in the history of this planet has ever been restricted by a population more than America has been by a white majority. No group of people have ever demanded as much freedom as the white majority in America. As our government makes the transition towards being totalitarian, it appears their strategy is to turn everyone against white people, bribe minorities to create a new class of government dependent people who will not seek to limit the growth of government and then sit back and let nature run its course as the white majority shrinks.
White supremacy, white privilege.... propaganda designed to cater to weak minds like your own. There is no white privilege. Your own arrogance and need to explain your shortcomings without taking responsibility for them is what makes you gravitate toward the culture of victimhood.
The ONLY institutional racism in America is that which caters to minorities.
Wikipedia, where anyone can add anything that they want. Wonderful example - oh wait, it's not. You still have no factual basis, yet want to dismiss contrary evidence as it does not fit your narrative. Do you realize that it is a concept, and that is not the same as a recognized fact? Surely, you covered the difference when you were studying psychology, right?
Even Lewis Gordon and Eric Arnesen argue against the concept of white privilege - and they are both mentioned in your Wikipedia article. You didn't read the Wikipedia entry before you posted it, did you? What makes you more knowledgeable than them?
But since I know that you will ignore all that I typed (as you have previously done), let me query your intellect with this one pressing question at least - where is this benefit from being white, so that I can take a tangible advantage of it?

ahh Wikipedia. The place often challenged when it contradicts your personal beliefs.
So you didn't actually read what they said, and instead glossed over it. No one disputes the existence of white privilege at all, the only thing that's debated are its effects.Even Lewis Gordon and Eric Arnesen argue against the concept of white privilege - and they are both mentioned in your Wikipedia article.
And I'll probably continue ignoring it. I'm not interested in debating whether something exists or not when it exists and you don't understand it.But since I know that you will ignore all that I typed (as you have previously done), let me query your intellect with this one pressing question at least - where is this benefit from being white, so that I can take a tangible advantage of it?
All I'm saying is that it's not controversial to teach aspects of equal opportunity to a god damn class that's learning about equal opportunity. No racially divisive teaching exists. That's really all the is to it.

Am I supposed to believe that it is a better source of fact that the actual economic statistics that I posted and that you ignored? You are quite a character. I get quite a laugh out of your lack of ability to put together a single fact to support your statements, yet you think that your opinion is fact.
I not only read it, I comprehended it (something that seems to outside of your abilities), and I did a little extra research. The mere fact that you think that it's existence isn't disputed shows that you have zero comprehension of what was stated in the article.
Again, you cannot show a single piece of evidence for it's existence, yet you believe that you know more than white people about it. Your argument is that white males have an advantage being passed down from them from generation to generation, yet white males cannot actually observe this set of benefits, increase or decrease the advantage from it, or anything else. They should just feel guilty for having it, right? LOL
I have no problem with EO or diversity training. White privilege does not fall under that though. It's racist at its core.

You can believe whatever you want to believe.
Ok. Well, if you read what they said, and comprehended it, then you know that the idea of white privilege isn't disputed at all. There's not debate about it. But I'm sure you read it just like you read the whole 600+pg EO training manual before you made assumptions about it.I not only read it, I comprehended it (something that seems to outside of your abilities), and I did a little extra research. The mere fact that you think that it's existence isn't disputed shows that you have zero comprehension of what was stated in the article.
That's fine. No one will ever make you take the course if you believe its racist from reading a few sentances from the book.I have no problem with EO or diversity training. White privilege does not fall under that though. It's racist at its core.
I will stick to believing in real facts, data, and statistics, instead of paranoid, narcissistic propaganda about white privilege.
It is disputed - you just don't realize that it is a concept, not factual. Where is that supporting evidence again? Oh yeah, you don't have any.
Do I need to read all 600+ pages when the training manual's own summary states it clearly?
“Simply put, a healthy, white, heterosexual, Christian male receives many unearned advantages of social privilege, whereas a black, homosexual, atheist female in poor health receives many unearned disadvantages of social privilege.”
The officers sent to that training did not have the option to leave the course.
I have no problem with them teaching diversity or equal opportunity. Encouraging people to treat each other as equals and to not regard skin color as a positive or negative is a good thing to be teaching. Fostering distrust and telling someone to assume racism is everywhere and to be on the lookout for it is not a positive message promoting diversity and equal opportunity.
You claim to have take psychology classes. Did your professors ever tell you that viewing someone with distrust would bring you closer together?

Thats your right
Unless you want to have an uninformed opinion about the situationDo I need to read all 600+ pages when the training manual's own summary states it clearly?
You do not have to be an EO officer if you don't want to. The course is very optional. If you choose to become an EO officer, you have to learn about every aspect of equal opportunity and its history, which includes everything in this manual.The officers sent to that training did not have the option to leave the course.
Nothing about any aspect of equal opportunity, the history of black discrimination or white privilege taught me to distrust white people. That's not its objective.Did your professors ever tell you that viewing someone with distrust would bring you closer together?
