Yep.

We all get it.

We will mostly be assumed innocent before guilty. Mostly won't be followed around a shop because those in charge aren't going to assume we come from a poverty stricken household.

Us being able to say, thats not how you treated me.. in that exact say situation, is white privilege.

Those signs you saw as a kid, they were also racist, and they dont exist anymore..

Its time for change. Its time to decide if you are going to help or hinder that change.

Yes it does but there are varying degrees and some white people have much much less than others. Racism and white privilege can be a very insidious thing and can go unnoticed if you're not affected by it. The vast majority of the white community aren't racist and are disgusted by racism when the they notice it or it is overt, I have found.

Most of us are privileged in at least one way. That doesn’t mean we didn’t work hard or that we didn’t experience any other hardships in life. Privilege can be hard to admit and even harder to talk about but it is important to understand one’s own privilege so we can give a voice to those less privileged.

In order to use your own privilege for good and to be a good ally you have to be aware, listen and speak up. Focus on equity instead of equality so that everyone is given what they need to be successful.

It depends on what board you are talking about, but there will always be exceptions. There's definitely a lot of white privilege in the US and quite a lot here in Europe. There won't be anywhere near as much in Africa.

In many countries, white privilege benefits white people at the expense of people of colour. Lacking white privilege can include being directly typecast or treated differently but it can also mean not seeing yourself catered for by the society you live in. While the existence of white privilege is ever-present and noticeable to those who don’t possess it, white people may not notice their advantages. For example, a white person in the UK or the US does not need to search high and low to find products to suit their skin, like band-aids, tights or make-up and will not know what it is like to turn on the TV to find that nobody looks like them or their family.

The UK is 86% white, do we really expect plaster manufacturers to create plasters for the many shades of the 14%? It's not going to be cost effective.

Surely we should be concerning ourselves with more serious matters than the colour of band aids.

A perfect example is 2 kids in a store, one black, one white who gets followed more by CCTV/security & who'll get the lighter sentence if caught stealing.

More often than not it's the white kid.

Travellers are subjected to xenophobia which is another them & us but tribal/cultural based not race based.

The same as man vs women is misogynist.

Socio-economic privilege is a complex concept because it looks very different for everyone. While to some people it means being able to afford luxury goods, to others it means being able to afford to go to university or simply to have a roof over your head and a place to sleep at night. Having socio-economic privilege doesn’t necessarily mean being rich but it means having enough resources to be able to take on the opportunities that life has given you, such as unpaid internships or an after-school tutoring job — little privileges that can give you a head start in the job market.

Unfortunately, I'm not able to answer that fully. I've never been to Nigeria or Sudan. I've been to North Africa though, and believe me, there is no white privilege in that place. More like white exploitation. I was not at all privileged there! It's a place where you're in danger by being white. At least it is in my opinion.

How the land works, that's a different matter but specifically talking about privileges, what privileges does a white person have in these places? Fuck all. They will rob you blind. White privilege my arse! White unprivileged more like!

You are talking about confirmation bias. You have a point of view and you look out for things that confirm your beliefs. If you made an effort to take 5 minutes out of your day and watch one set of adverts during a TV programme and count the number of black and white people I think you'll be quite surprised.

LOL that's not white unprivileged that's poverty. When my uncle returned to Jamaica he was robbed and killed for what he had. How the land works is the issue entirely.. Why has this stolen land that was NOT taken in war not been returned? Germany is still paying reparations to the Jews to this day why is that?

"Socio-economic privilege is a complex concept because it looks very different for everyone. While to some people it means being able to afford luxury goods, to others it means being able to afford to go to university or simply to have a roof over your head and a place to sleep at night. Having socio-economic privilege doesn’t necessarily mean being rich but it means having enough resources to be able to take on the opportunities that life has given you, such as unpaid internships or an after-school tutoring job — little privileges that can give you a head start in the job market."

I understand what you mean. Here's a definition; "a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group."

For all you guys going on about white privilege; do you really think for one moment that you are privileged as a white person when you step foot on a black person's land. You are not! Not at all.

It's all a matter of perspective.

Then how comes when you go to Jamaica you're told not to leave the hotel without your tour guide? When a Jamaican is robbed and killed no-one hears about it. When it happens to white tourists or expats it's worldwide news. Y'all can go to Thailand and smuggle drugs and your government will get you home eventually. Why?

A bit of history.

The people of Haiti, fought for the freedom during slavery and became independent in 1804 under France. After the slave declared them self free, France demanded that the newly formed country pay the French government and French slaveholder the modern equivalent of US21 billion for the theft of the slaves, own lives and the land that they had turned into profitable sugar and coffee-producing plantations. This happened across the Caribbean with the European countries. Haiti has never recovered to this day. While Countries like France are enjoying the wealth.

This could be simple because they are their citizens but could also be linked very much to old times social views with Europeans taking opium to India & China in exchange for tea & hemp from Africa/Spain (were both under Islamic rule & hemp originally asian) to France & then to the America's.

(Both have medical properties) hemp was paper, sails, clothes & rope too. Possibly for exploring high altitudes...I dunno bout that one, but that's it's traditional use. Psycadelics come from many semi toxic plant types and we're used in rituals.

"A bit of history.

British slave owners were paid something like 70billion in today's money in compensation.

Slaves got extra 4 yrs labour & no compensation.

White folk got indentured labour - more like a unpaid, live in apprenticeship. They were not owned as a piece of property with no human rights. Big difference.

I believe alot of post colonial countries still pay their colonisers, though I believe the deal is different in Canada, new Zealand & Australia...these are still under the British Monarchy should it come to it.

Don't leave the hotel because it's dangerous outside! Lawlessness, muggings, theft and death are not good for the tourism industry.

You hear about white people getting killed because it's something which white people feel strongly about, therefore the media uses it at every opportunity to make sales.

Loooooooool! Thailand! Are you having a laugh? My friends brother did that exact thing! Being an idiot with drug gangs there. He got banged up for 12 weeks and his mum had to pay £1000 to get him released. He then had to stay there and work to buy his ticket home! There is no white privilege there either.

I understand what you mean. Here's a definition; "a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group."

For all you guys going on about white privilege; do you really think for one moment that you are privileged as a white person when you step foot on a black person's land. You are not! Not at all.

It's all a matter of perspective.

Don't leave the hotel because it's dangerous outside! Lawlessness, muggings, theft and death are not good for the tourism industry.

You hear about white people getting killed because it's something which white people feel strongly about, therefore the media uses it at every opportunity to make sales.

"A bit of history.

British slave owners were paid something like 70billion in today's money in compensation.

Slaves got extra 4 yrs labour & no compensation.

White folk got indentured labour - more like a unpaid, live in apprenticeship. They were not owned as a piece of property with no human rights. Big difference.

Others maybe too.

Facts

It's all available on your phone though some major history lessons you'll get...big wormhole is the European nation over a relatively short space of time & not by one person or another but as a collective.

Britain's individual/family superpowers came from trade...becoming far more lucrative when the labour of some cost very little of course and since covered by insurance as property losses.

Compensation from slavery abolishment was invested into railways, universities, banks, factories....USA development (slavery ended there after Britain's did).

There's a log online where you can look up your family names & see if there is a possible direct connection to you.

Jeez my spelling poor this evening.

BBC iplayer has a good bit on this stuff giving the current world awareness of the issues so does sky documentaries.

Part of it was famine but largely it was when the English took Scotland again & to keep up with taxes & being darn greedy landowners raised rents. They raised them further & deliberately put folk out of crofts because land for sheep was more profitable.

Most went across the Atlantic to the newly found colonies. Scots faced the same again there with taxes.

English rule over many Scots was xenophobic. Irish (whole island of Ireland) was sectarianism . Still is.

Put it this way, itcs only this year they have closed a military base (cannot remember it's name) which has been kept open for centuries in fear of Scottish rebellion. The UK government has now deemed the Scots no longer a threat to English rule over the land....at least not in a military sense.

Ironic with current going ons with devolved governments.

There's this thing called intersectionality. It's how different types of privilege interact. The example of rich black people and poor white people existing does nothing to disprove white privilege, because the two groups chosen differ not just in skin colour but also in other types of privilege - in this case the privilege of wealth. Another example given above suggests that white privilege cannot exist because it can be dangerous for minority white populations visiting or living in majority populations of other races. But all this shows is that privilege levels are not necessarily absolute, but relate to the societies in which they are embedded.

A better way of framing the OP would be to ask if all other things being equal, within a western majority white society, is there a differential in the innate privileges afforded to two individuals that are distinguished only in the colour of their skin? And however we dress up the argument with examples where other elements of privilege do differ, the answer is that when the sole consideration is skin colour, yes there is white privilege in our society. This privilege certainly also exists in many other societies where at some time whites formed the ruling class - probably most of the British Empire. It is not universal though - white skin in say China or Japan would be unlikely to confer higher privilege level.

A non-exhaustive list (in no particular order) of attributes conferring differing types of privilege, the intersection of which have to be considered to assess the overall position of any individual or group:

Race

Wealth

Gender

Sexuality

Disability

Education

Social class

Religion

Beauty & other physical attributes

The media is a business and has its own agenda. Like everything else it wants to make money. All these companies suddenly backing Black Lives Matter are doing so purely for their bottom line.

As far as I'm aware it was local tribes bringing them to the ports in exchange for texiles, sugar (what was made in the UK from the raw materials of the slave conlonies) probably taken as a result of internal xenophobic acts or as payments for debts...Africans paid a very high price for these goods..all the young & healthy taken leaving an older population behind that couldn't work lands/trades as well....we don't know it all cos the Europeans took all the records with them or they've been destroyed & we don't know where they went.

Europeans traded opium for tea & caused many a heroin pandemic in Asian countries too.

Internal raids of African goods such as diamonds etc came after I believe, basically when the countries were on their knees and bear in mind not all countries banned slavery at the same time. Brit's were the first.

History is ever adapting just like science is. We can only go on proof we know exists.

For instance the pyramids weren't built by slaves but well paid tradesmen. Women were revered as they gave birth to life & medically advanced in anatomy & surgery. The Mayans elongated the skulls of newborns. Stone henge is a solar clock. Homosapiens originated from Africa & different human species interbred.

We don't know what we don't know but doesn't mean we can't surmise from what we already know about human behaviour & history.

Obviously not, it is based on what we already know which has been developed by several civilisation & lots of people, people write & read, typically in favour of their own bias as we see commonly with religion these days or fanaticism. Interpretation.

I.e. the famous red lady of Wales is not a woman but a man & is 34000 yrs old not a Roman witch or prostitute.

The skeleton is covered in iron oxide & has a headdress of shells & other ornamental items such as mammoth ivory....question is why? Was it spiritual, was it high status burial? To ward off evil? To please god's? We have no idea but we look at behaviours we know to find patterns.

Human species love patterns & puzzles. Homosapiens are best at it.

Iron oxide is an antibacterial so was that to prevent disease developing from the corpse?

Similar burials have been found across the steepe so there's collective thought across the region.

Ok so I'm not very good at debating but really want to add my twopence worth here. In my opinion privileged people are people who are treated better for one reason or another or who are given a better chance at something than someone else. So here goes if you apply for a job it asks on the application what your ethnicity is so that they can comply with percentages of ethnic origins so if a company has to have a certain amount of black people and they are under that percentage and I was to apply for the job but didn't get it because I'm white but a black person does because they need to up their percentage then surely the black person is the privileged one. Another one for you, my son has ginger hair he has had a lot of problems with people attacking him physically but more so verbally now I soike to a police officer about this and was told that if my son was attacked because he had ginger hair and called the police thay would start coming to help however if then a black person was attacked because of the colour of his skin then the racially aggravated case would come before my sons. Certainly not my white son privileged there!!!

Read above with the relationship between Ireland, Scotland & England....fingering stems from there as a common identifiable feature & it is pretty rare on the global scale...slowly being recognised as gingerism though not legally yet.

Scots privilege comes in the from a fierce reputation of historic past I.e. one of the few regions not to fall under Roman rule....hence why our roads are all wiggly lol really were a mixed breed (Vikings,Celts, Neanderthals, homosapiens etc) it's the land & cultures they belong to (mainly).

To the op, I have way too many thoughts on this subject to be succinct, so at the risk of being vague...I think the whole assertion of 'white privilege' exclusively, is part of a mindset that chooses group identity over individuality, victimisation over self improvement, external blame over internal reflection etc etc.

Everyone has some kind of privilege over another whether that's due to group association or individual attributes, that's a given, so it's unreasonable to expect the same outcome if equal opportunity is a starting point.

Now, obviously there are people who don't believe we are at that equal starting point yet, I disagree, but even if we demonstrably are not, so what? The way I see it, people overcome disadvantages all the time and are all the better for it and should be admired. Those people are imo, those that hold individuality over group identity, characteristics and morality over superficial aesthetics and prefer to work on themselves to even the odds or even gain the advantage.

I never as a kid, watched a cartoon/movie/advert/game etc and let the lack of 'representation' of people who look like me, affect my identity in any negative way. I look for characteristics and traits that I would like to emulate in order to be better regardless of what the source looks like or where it's from.

Privilege isn't exclusive, nor inherently good or bad it just is. Deal with it people. Now you'll have to excuse me...I've got to showcase my black privilege for the rest of the night/morning
