More White Privilege!! This time it is brought to you by Yahoo!

https://www.yahoo.com/parenting/7-things...85077.html

Quote:1. I Can Walk Through a Store Without Being Followed

To take one high-profile instance, Macy’s and the city of New York recently settled with actor Robert Brown, who was handcuffed, humiliated, and accused of committing credit card fraud after buying an expensive watch at the store.

I never have to worry about this happening to me.

2. I Can Succeed Without It Being Attributed to My Race

When my wife, who is black, received her acceptance letter from Boston College, a peer told her she must have gotten in due to affirmative action, effectively ruining the experience of receiving the letter.
PHOTOS: Healthy Foods Your Kids Will Actually Eat

When I succeed, people assume I’ve earned it.

3. I Learned About My Ancestors’ History in School

I can tell you all about Louis XIV, Socrates, and the Magna Carta, but I always wondered when we would finally learn about African history (beyond Pharaohs and pyramids). The subject never came up.

4. I Can Lose My Temper in Traffic

Once, an acquaintance who got into a confrontation while driving told me how scared she was of the other driver, describing him as a “big black guy.” When I get heated, no one attributes it to my race.

5. I Can Loiter in Wealthy Neighborhoods

No one has ever called the cops on me to report a “suspicious person.” My wife can’t say the same.
STORY: Words You Should Always Say to Your Kids

6. I Can Complain About Racism

When I point out that black people are incarcerated at alarming rates, or largely forced to send their children to underperforming schools, or face systemic discrimination when searching for jobs and housing, no one accuses me of “playing the race card.”

7. I Can Count on Being Met on My Own Terms

If I’m being treated poorly, I don’t stop and think about whether it’s due to my race. But unless we somehow make a giant leap forward, my son will always have to wonder.

Recently, I became a father for the second time. My daughter, only three months old, will grow up to face many of the same challenges as my son, on top of the extra ones that come with being a woman: the struggle for equal pay, the catcalling, the constant threat of sexual assault.

I don’t want to give my children a complex about all of this, but I can’t wish these problems away, either. I can’t eliminate all the unfair hurdles that exist in the world. I can only do my best to raise kids who are able to jump over them.

I hereby re-purpose the old term "White Man's Burden" as a much more accurate description of current reality than "white privilege".

Is it a privilege to constantly be painted as villainous and racist in the media?

Is it a privilege to have your historical homelands invaded by millions of foreigners?

Is it a privilege to have your traditional culture and religion mocked in your own country?

Is it a privilege to constantly bend over backwards for fear of offending everyone who isn't white?

Is it a privilege to belong the only group of people who it's legally acceptable to discriminate against in the workplace and academia?

Is it a privilege to make massively disproportionate tax contributions to the welfare state?

Is it a privilege to have any mention of pride in the accomplishments of your people be immediately viewed as racist?

Because none of those sound like privileges to me. They sound like burdens.

Most of the things these idiots call "white privilege" are simply the benefits of Western civilization, particularly Anglo-Saxon concepts of law, order, morality and public good. There is an accompanying "privilege" for anyone who is a contributing member of traditional Western society, regardless of one's race (a fact which numerous successful minority men on this forum can attest to). Play by the rules and you get rewarded with freedom, some degree of financial success, safety and community. Most white people understand this, because it's their natural culture that evolved over thousands of years. East Asians developed similar cultures that promoted order and public good, which is why they adapt most successfully to Western culture.

Africans, Mestizos and Arabs did not develop anything approximating Western culture, which is why they don't respect it for the most part. Western cultural values are simply not important to them as a group (exceptions obviously abound, but again, I'm speaking in terms of group dynamics). Multiculturalism is doomed to fail because Western culture cannot support tens of millions of these people who are hostile to its perpetuation. It's like if you imported millions of white people to Afghanistan and expected the traditional national pastime of playing polo with a goat carcass to still exist in a hundred years (that isn't exactly something you'll find on the list of stuff white people like).

The modern white man's burden is living in countries that were built by white people, for white people, but which are currently home to millions of non-white people who are hostile to whites and their culture. It's being told every day that you should apologize for the color of your skin because it's a symbol of oppression. It's being treated as a second class citizen in the country your forefathers carved out of the land and bled and died for.

If white people in the West walled off their borders and expelled every non-white person back to their historic countries of origin, then you could speak of white privilege. But far from doing that, whites are literally doing the exact opposite. They are opening their borders and voluntarily committing demographic suicide by importing millions of non-whites into their countries. They are sharing their enormous economic, technological and cultural wealth with people who had no hand in generating any of it, and who for the most part are completely unappreciative of it, only demanding more benefits and freebies as their right. White westerners are the only group of people on Earth whose tribal affiliations are less important to them than their ideological affiliations (an enormous strength in a racially homogenous society, a crippling weakness in a multi-ethnic one). I challenge you to find a race of people less racist than whites. You can't do it. Blacks, Mestizos, Arabs, Asians, all of them have much more racist cultures than white Westerners. Go to China and tell a Chinese man he has Chinese privilege and that he has a moral obligation to weaken his own racial group in order to strengthen others. It's unfathomable. White countries are the only places on Earth where this sort of thing happens, and it's because whites as a group are the least racist race by far. And yet constantly we're portrayed as racists who benefit from the mythical "white privilege".

There is no white privilege today. There is only the white man's burden.

Paging Midwest.

I have to ask at this point because I'm very curious over seeing the novel response. What do you think of scorpions point? It's congruent enough with reality to not be refuted in entirety, so do you agree that there is a give and take for each racial group? If not, and I know this sounds like a trap to pose only two options, are you satisfied with the stated problems plaguing white culture, even if it drives it to extinction? I know that comes off like saying that you're either Jesus or the devil, but it's very appropriate to your views. Your views are either of someone following a scarcity/desperation on par with paranoia toward societal trends or a someone legitimately betting on the downfall or erasure of a particular culture.

The SJW stances are rediculoud and shunned because they promote a scorched earth view toward one particular race. Adopting those views promotes systematic discrimination. Yes, minorities deal with systematic issues, but to say that whites at large are the system, and that they systematically oppress all others is a misconception of classism equated prejudices. The reality is that each racial group deal with different benefits and barriers. Each faces different levels of discrimination that vary based on their home areas surroundings and who is in power there.

For the record I don't want to see disappearance of any racial group

That statement makes it sound like whites across the globe have rallied together to infiltrate and spread their culture in the darkest recesses of the world, which is laughable. Portuguese, Spanish, and Russians are all white, so you can just lump them all together right? Same religion, cultural values, etc?

Modern Western thought is a direct result of the Enlightenment, something that didn't take place in other cultures.

It was only through imperialism and colonialism (the Catholic church also playing a role) that Western thought spread to non-white countries - something we're also whitewashed into believing was pure evil.

Post: #88

I've said this before in another thread and scorpion touched on it too. Whites, for some reason, get singled out for racism yet vastly more racist cultures such as SEA and Japan (highly ethnocentric) are given a pass. Black guys on this forum are told to basically stay away from Thailand for chrissakes.

Taro Aso, the Japanese Prime Minister from '08-'09, referred to Japan as "one race, one civilization, one language and one culture". That's right, folks. He actually used the word race. Now imagine some white American politician saying something like that

Quit guilt-tripping us already.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but not only is it insulting to listen to the phrase "white male privilege", but the timing of such a phrase is absolutely abhorrent.

Who were hurt the most during the most recent massive recession? That's right, white males.

I mean uh...actually they have. It's not just a coincidence that people in Brazil and Angola speak Portuguese. Or that Mexicans speak Spanish or that Senegalese speak French.

China was thrown into a dark age that they are just now getting out of due to British involvement at end of the 19th century. Shit, Britain owned Hong Kong until 1997.

Japan had closed it's doors to all foreigners before an American naval officer basically forced them to begin conducting business with outsiders.

King Leopold killed about 10 million Congolese people during his reign at the beginning of the 20th century and plundered the country for an untold amount of resources. Acts for which he received no retribution for.Many African countries were under European rule as recent as the 60's. Some of you guys were alive when these countries gained their independance.

These are just a few token examples.

And yes the mongols, ect., ect. were pervasive as well. The existence of those cultures doesn't refute my point.

The point is let's not act like the West just one day decided to roll out the red carpet for all non-whites to enjoy the fruits of their labor. I like to have a more balanced view of history.

Post: #91

I broadly agree with scorpion’s comments – but calling it “white” culture is over simplifying things. I consider it western European (actually mostly Anglo with Dutch/German influence) culture. Eastern Europe and parts of Southern Europe have been behind western Europe in terms of cultural sophistication for a long time now. Many of the USA founding fathers were of British stock.

In the US people are seen as “white” and non-white”, whereas in Europe people don’t think of themselves in that way as a primary identity. British, Irish, Spanish, Dutch, Germans, Italian, Swedes, Icelanders, Portuguese etc. all consider themselves separate races and some of them don’t like the other ones very much! Some people who are not even considered white in Europe are considered white in the US, such as Armenians, Turks and Lebanese.

In UK Irish and Italians are considered ethnic minorities.

A lot of minority comedians and women can get away with saying shit that no white male could. E.g. A friend asked me to watch Chelsea Handler’s stand up and she said that Eskimos look like Asians with Downs Syndrome – imagine the shitstorm if a white male comedian said that! The stand up was so bad I switched it off after 10 minutes.

True, though as the west added knowledge to these cultures they also gained a bit of knowledge as well.

Not really, rather it underscores their reality, which is moreso what I was getting at. Most don't have options even if they want to do well. Again, for example, the unemployment rate for young teenage males in Chicago is upwards of 90%

.

This is one thing that bugs me. People that refuse to move out from a city to get better opportunities elsewhere. Amercian history is full of examples of people leaving one city to go to another for jobs, etc. Black people used to do this back in our grandfather's time and before (California, Texas, etc.), but nowadays they say sappy things like, "I rep this city" "I bleed this city." yadda yadda and they squat there indefinitely. I recently went to New Orleans because I could not find contracts here in my area, I am back now, but I at least left my wife and newborn to go earn some money for them. Again, their mentality and lack of knowledge will never help them understand this concept.

Quote:Using the past to try and flog old whitey, is fruitless and serves no purpose today. Keyword is "today". I could spend all day on the forum trying to guilt manipulate a bunch of white dudes here about how I grew up and what good would that do? No one here or elsewhere had anything to do with that shit. The idiot kids having race fights on Youtube comments, Reddit, and god knows whatever dark corners of the internet are not doing anything that actually makes shit better.


Explaining why things are the way they are != "flog old whitey". Chill out.

I was referring to the people in these videos, not you. They are flogging old whitey with this tired shit. Finally a chance to use this gif.

Quote:Look at how Midwest's racebaiting makes the blood of others here boil for no good reason. He did not leave several guys walking away from their PC's this evening feeling like perhaps they were wrong before or about how good it feels to have a strong Mexican American figure on the forum that provides so much insight with a lot of integrity.

Quote:He merely offered a different perspective. Should he have instead joined the chorus of what he probably sees as mostly bigoted comments toward his own people? I thought this was a red-pill forum? As long as it is deemed "in bounds" by mods, I see no reason why opinions should be stifled because a few members would be disgruntled. I'm very surprised you would write something like that.

His points were not just weak but kinda racist in nature. He makes it look like there is this us vs them junk. If people stick to facts and actually make an argument, it is better received here. You really cannot fly bullshit past RVF posters. They are much higher level in discourse than elementary level replies that come off extremely biased and like emotional defending.

Quote:He said, they should have served that cop with a complaint, but make sure you make it home that night. They do not want you to make it home, because they want you to jump at them. They want you to resist. You resist, you lose.

Quote:Well, the whole point is that there is a latent distrust between law enforcement and these communities, to the point that traditional communication channels that would be exercised in non-black communities are not viewed as options in Black communities. We've all heard the stories of the police/ambulance taking an hour to get to the scene after they were called. This type of thing is normal in Black communities. I don't agree with aggression against cops, but in the case of Ferguson that hasn't even been proven.

It hasn't been proven but I can still tell you what he did not do. He was not compliant like most of us probably are upon getting stopped. We have beaten that horse here before and RVF lawyers even chimed in. You have to be quiet, respectful, compliant, even if you are wrong and fix it after it is over. Anyone black should not have a problem with this, but alas, some people feel as if they do not need to anymore and that is where shit goes wrong sometimes.

Quote:Playing games like "knockout". The fact that whites and blacks have done that shit, shows the lack of intelligence this group of young people have these days.

Quote:This was proved to be nothing more than a media driven YouTube phenomenon. Honestly, there's so many permutations of these types of events between races that its not even worth bringing up. Every race has ignorant people.

No. Where I live, some white guys did it and some black guys did it. One white kid killed a 70 year old black guy in once punch. All of them millennials. Media deserves no blame for this. A violent movie is never a good excuse for shooting people or breaking the laws. Good parents teach their kids that a movie is fucking fake and "pretend" as my mother would call it. There are consequences for bad behavior and crimes and you cannot press pause in real life.

Quote:They were just early to catch on. Now this shit is out of control. Bill Cosby was called an Uncle Tom. Clarence Thomas was openly mocked and reputation ruined when he was right all along.

Quote:Well, the issue with these characters isn't that they feign criticism on the community. Rather it is because they don't offer solutions and finger wag from their ivory towers. What programs has Clarence Thomas launched that have helped black people? Thomas Sowell? Why do they not support AA, when they benefited from it? These questions will give you insight into why they are not trusted. I think most would agree with the merits of their criticisms, believe it or not.

Why do blacks feel the need to actually recieve something tangible to be able to appreciate someone's actions or help? Isn't Bill Cosby's advice worth it's weight in gold? The answer will be no for any black looking for a fucking handout of some kind. We don't need any fucking programs. We do not need athletes going to schools talking to kids. We need everyday black MEN, not women, going to schools that work REGULAR jobs in various industries to speak with kids. Men with families on top of that. Guys that are athletes are like 1% of the population and they cannot tell anyone anything of good use or substance.

I remember when I got my first 100K job my old networking teacher asked me to come to his highschool and talk his students that were being knuckleheads and not taking the IT stuff he was trying to train them on seriously. All these Hispanic and Black students are very low income and come from the nearby ghetto there. I went there and talked with these young men for 2 hours. I told them everything about my personal life, how I got my certifications, how college helped me solve certain problems, real world IT situation on a white board, how salary and money worked, we talked oil and gas, I cannot list it all right now.

You know what they told me? "Mister, I will never forget this day as long as I live." "Yeah!" "Me too!" "This changes my life forever." "I know I can take care of my mom and my sisters now. I did not know I had such a valuable trade skill." I cannot lie I almost got choked up.

Advice is valuable. Why do you think whites and others never give any out to people at a certain level? They may not want another competitor knowing their family's secret to growing and maintaining wealth! Guys like Tavis Smiley, Michael Dyson, etc. are mostly all about talk. They host symposium after symposium and all that shit is, is an opportunity for uppity black folks, (mostly women), all Democrats, to "look good" in the community and discuss "programs". All they are doing is funding "black versions" of tax shelters, the same ways others do with all that breast cancer bullshit and other junk. They ruthlessly attack anyone that will attack them (Cosby and a relative few others). Not calling these guys complete hucksters, but don't look up to them (not saying you do, but other blacks here do), as an authoritative source that can help inspire growth to the next level. Their talk is how they eat. I cannot knock their hustle too much, but it is, what it is.

Quote:Anyway thanks for responding, I have learned a ton from your posts. Over and out from this thread though.

No problem anytime. I hope this helps. I don't want to beat up anyone here and I think we all need to learn more about these things as a whole. No one comes into the manosphere fully red pill. If I joined this site even 3 years ago, Scorpion would have made me foam at the mouth I think. Don't take it personal but don't take everything here 100% serious to heart either as gospel. Redpill means search for answers even when you already have some answers.

He did not leave several guys walking away from their PC's this evening feeling like perhaps they were wrong before or about how good it feels to have a strong Mexican American figure on the forum that provides so much insight with a lot of integrity.

I appreciate the kind words TravelerKai. I'm a big fan of your China travels and have great respect for you and your contributions to this forum, but I respectfully disagree with you here.

I'm just not in the business of going along to get along simply to get a pat on the head from the white posters here whenever they make bigoted comments towards brown or black people. I'm just not that type of person. The "let's not ruffle white feathers or else they won't like us anymore" or the "let's not say this because it would make whites uncomfortable" just doesn't work with me and I won't apologize for taking that stance.

The worst thing a person of color can do be it Asian, Latino, or Black is to try to get accepted by whites by going along with their negative rhetoric against our communities. I don't know maybe I just love my people too much, but that's just not the business for me.

I understand this is a majority white forum, but that doesn't mean I'm going to kiss ass all over the place.

Again, nothing but respect for the great Travelerkai and I will continue to be enlightened by your posts. On this one we disagree.

Thanks man. I like your travel contributions alot as well. I think you are well on your way to have the potential to be one of the biggest posters here because you have something Scorpion and I do not have anymore. Youth. Or rather, better youth than guys like us have. Don't take this critique the wrong way, but you still have alot of learning and maturing to do. That means your potential is incredible! Guys like you, Hans Dix, Huwzhere, fuck I guess any of you guys under 25 are sooooo far ahead of the game it almost makes me jealous! I wish I knew even half of what you know about Manosphere, Redpill thinking, etc. You guys are young and hitting strides already. I was beyond beta and clumsy at almost everything at your age. All I could do back then was fight people more or less and just read books hoping for something I could use in them.

Anyway, you don't need to kiss anyone's ass around here. Follow the rules and be yourself, and grow. The way Christ would even treat people that talk poorly to him, would not be to do it that way. You could at least do that. Besides if we were all a bunch of fools, what would that make you for hanging out with us? You all but break bread with us. Shit, maybe you already have broken bread with some here already. Remember you want to be a man of good measure, good resolve, and good frame. It always takes two to fight over anything, so it never truly has to get anywhere near name calling and guilt tripping territory. Take shit in stride. You know you are as a person. As long as you are not like what others think, what do you care?

Use this debate as a learning experience. You will be alright.

Man you're on fire in this thread.

This dynamic you mention here has always angered me. It's the same thing as diehard sports fans that are willing to get in fistfights over "their" team.

I wish there was some way I could pull the veil from their eyes; your town, your state, your team, your hood, what have they done for you? How are they different than any other place?

People are so desperate to cling to some tribe but those days are long gone. Noone's out hunting buffalo anymore. We live in a global society now. In nearly all cases, those tribes that people cling onto are nothing more than a corporate profit mechanism.

"Your" team? You don't own them; they own you, you blue-collar bubba. Are they putting money in your pocket or vice versa?

"Your" hood? You mean the hood that's owned by wealthy landowners and charge you rent? You mean the hood that gets bought out by out-of-state developers and could evict you and gentrify everything you know in a heartbeat?

This brings us to a core red-pill concept; allegiance to no-one but yourself.

Quote:Shit, Britain owned Hong Kong until 1997.

Arabs owned Zanzibar until the 60's.

Quote:King Leopold killed about 10 million Congolese people during his reign at the beginning of the 20th century and plundered the country for an untold amount of resources. Acts for which he received no retribution for.

Yes, but the people who started noticing his misinformation and eventually forced him to relinquish control over the colony were predominately white, if memory serves.

Quote:Many African countries were under European rule as recent as the 60's.

After which point many of those new countries invaded their new neighbors or through internal enmities contrived to spark civil war. Many (though not all) colonial administrations appear almost pacific in comparison.

Quote:And yes the mongols, ect., ect. were pervasive as well. The existence of those cultures doesn't refute my point.

They do refute the idea that European/white efforts to achieve dominance are somehow exceptional. Everyone was trying to conquer everyone...Europeans just got really good at it for a few hundred years.
