It may surprise you to know this isn't how it works.

You shouldn't even post in this thread unless you held a job. It is obvious 80% haven't.



I was denied 18 jobs because I was a single white male after i graduated. A few even asked me why I bothered applying since I was a white single male because the job ad said EOO. This was before political correctness or the plethora of lawsuits pertaining to discrimination in the workplace.

Is there discrimination? Yes. Everyone discriminates. Chinese favor Chinese, Jews favor Jews, blacks favor blacks, etc. I've observed it in every country I have been to, every religion and every race I have encountered.


Get over yourselves.

Judge not lest ye be judged.

I love how the least expeienced people feel they can judge everybody.

Once people learn they can vote themselves money democracy will falter. We are well on our way.this is what you are doing.

Try to stop complaining about every little thing you think is unfair and go out and earn your merit.

Life isn't fair. The sooner you get used to it the better off you will be.

You ALREADY posted this before. It didn't contribute anything then and reposting it doesn't change that.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

I'm a white male and was basically handed a job on a silver platter without even looking.

I can use anecdotal examples, too.

Besides the fact that you're acting like a broken record, your anecdotal evidence doesn't stack up to field studies.

Applicants with white names need to send about 10 resumes to get one callback, whereas applicants with African-American names need to send about 15 resumes to achieve the same result.

In addition, race greatly affects how much applicants benefit from having more experience and credentials. White job applicants with higher-quality resumes received 30 percent more callbacks than whites with lower-quality resumes. Having a higher-quality resume has a much smaller impact on African-American applicants, who experienced only 9 percent more callbacks for the same improvement in their credentials.
Fuck it all. Let the world burn - there's no way roaches could do a worse job of being decent than we have.

Symbolic racism?

Lol again, racism is just a liberal and zionist excuse these days.

Black racists like to call conservatives racist for disliking Obama.

Jewish racists call anyone who opposes Rouge State of Israel racist.

In reality its just division that hurts the unity of the nation.

No, if white privilege weren't a fact, it wouldn't be noteworthy that a non-white man held the presidency for the first time in two hundred years. The fact that it took this long is a testament to white privilege.

O'Reilly is dead right in that it's the values of a subculture that more accurately predict that groups success.


"Black culture", if one could even establish such a thing, has very similar moral values to "white culture".

The most visible images of modern black culture are hatred of whites (followed by hispanics) and black on black crime.


Those are ideas portrayed by a predominantly white media, which is again a testament to white privilege. "Black culture" is no different in terms of basic morality, and black people are not brought up to hate white people and kill each other, despite what others may have you think. Blame poverty, not black people.

Oh yes us minorities should just put our concerns of racism aside so we can join an unequal coalition with the poor white people to advance their concerns that may just incidentally benefit minorities. :roll:

Then explain the resume studies linked to in this thread, the tendency of police to stop young black men more often than young white men despite there being no increased chance of finding anything incriminating on them, the tendency of young black men to be charged with marijuana related offenses when young white men smoke it at the same rate, the tendency of black people to be in the first wave of layoffs during economic downturns, the lack of access in school to advanced placement and college prep courses, and the constant negative stereotypes of black people in the media?

Morgan Freeman said the cure to racism, is to stop talking about it.

I believe if we stop talking about racism, and maybe crackdown on racist groups be it La Raza and Mecha, the ADL/JDL/Banai Brith, the New Black Panthers, Nation of Islam, and the KKK and neo-nazis.

Then you will not need to worry about racism.

Thank you, there are few sources more biased than a Huffington Post opinion piece.

To get this out of the way: O'reilly doesn't believe in Asian Privelage, obviously. It was just to prove a point.
__________________________________________________________________________________
I really don't believe White Privilege is a big problem today. The problem is less that Whites get more privileges than other ethnic groups, but that a selection of ethnic groups get discriminated against in specific areas. Hispanics will occasionally get glared at near the border and Blacks will occasionally get discriminated against in parts of the South, but Blacks are usually treated equally in SoCal and Hispanics are usually treated normally in the South. However, calling this "White Privilege" suggests that Whites everywhere in the US discriminate against all other races, which isn't true. These days, no one other than the extremely racist believe that Whites are inherently better than all other races/ethnicities and should be given more privileges. The problem is lingering stereotypical views against specific ethnicities in specific areas. In that sense, I think O'reilly is right.

You and Bill obviously don't understand white privilege. Sometimes I forget I'm black and I think I have it, then I feel ashamed...

Pretty much the only reason conservatives dislike Obama, besides not being a conservative (despite being a centre-right politician - neither a communist nor socialist), is for being an uppity black. Which is, fundamentally, racist. The birther movement was an explicitly racist movement, as it was based on the premise that a black man being born in the US was absurd.
