The Myth of "white privilege"

[carpro]

No one is forcing blacks to devalue education (except themselves).

http://www.childtrends.org/?indicators=high-school-dropout-rates

Black and Hispanic youth are more likely than whites or Asians to have dropped out of high school. In 2013, five percent of whites ages 16 to 24 were not enrolled in school and had not completed high school, compared with eight percent of blacks, and 12 percent of Hispanics. (Figure 1) The high rate for Hispanics is partly the result of the high proportion of immigrants in this age group who never attended school in the U.S.[24] Asian youth had the lowest rate of all the racial and ethnic groups tabulated here, at three percent. (Appendix 2)

The average dropout can expect to earn an annual income of $20,241, according to the U.S. Census Bureau (PDF). That’s a full $10,386 less than the typical high school graduate, and $36,424 less than someone with a bachelor’s degree.

If every single black person in the US immediately divorced themselves from the drug and gang culture

You mean the drug and gang culture controlled by the old white men?

and every single black person immediately took their education seriously,

Education, the great equalizer. That's another white privileged lie.

You may remember the 2003 University of Chicago study by Devah Pager that sent young white and black “testers” with randomly assigned “felony convictions” to apply for low-wage jobs. The study found that whites with felonies were more likely to be called for interviews than black applicants without criminal records.

A Black Male With A Degree And A White High School Grad Have The Same Chances Of Getting A Job

Several studies have pointed out the evident racial achievement gap but recent research has revealed a sad truth -- an African-American male with an associate degree has the same chances of getting a job as a white male with a high school diploma.

A Black College Student Has The Same Chances Of Getting A Job As A White High School Dropout

African-American students need to complete two more levels of education to have the same probability of getting a job as their white peers, a new study by Young Invincibles finds.

The researchers looked at data mainly from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the U.S. Census, isolating the effects of race and education on unemployment. They found that an African-American male with an associates degree has around the same chance of getting a job as a white male with just a high school diploma. “At every level of education, race impacts a person’s chance of getting a job,” Tom Allison, a research manager and one of the study’s authors, told ThinkProgress.

The gap in employment chances between whites and African Americans leads to a huge gap in unemployment rates, even long after the recession. In May of this year, African-American millennials faced a 16.6 percent unemployment rate, compared to a 7.1 percent rate for whites of the same age range (18 to 34 years old).

The study attributes the employment gap mainly to hiring discrimination, high incarceration rates for black people, and African Americans’ lack of inherited wealth from past generations due to a long history of discrimination. Less inherited wealth results in low homeownership rates and high deficits among African Americans.

we'd see a miraculous reduction in every single thing you complain about (cops hating on black people, lower wages for black people, black being not getting respect).

Another ridiculously foolish statement. Tamir Rice was 12 and in school. Was education the reason John Crawford was shot dead in a WalMart? Was Yvette Smith's problem education when she opened her door and was shot dead by an officer? Was Jordan Baker shot dead because of education? Was 13 year old Andy Lopez's problem his lack of education as he was shot dead by police? Gosh how many different folks have to "accidentally" shoot themselves in the back of a police car before white privilege opens your eyes to the fact that education isn't the great equalizer?

The fact of the matter is no one is forcing black people to be in gangs (except themselves) and no one is forcing black people to do/sell drugs (except themselves). No one is forcing blacks to devalue education (except themselves).

Yet white people never want to talk about who the gangs are working for. White people never want to talk about who the drugs are coming from. White folks are never want to talk about how Blacks and Hispanics with more degrees and education don't get hired as often as Whites with no degrees because white privilege is doing the hiring.

Every single negative connotation about blacks in brought on by their own actions.

Every single negative connotation about Blacks was placed there by the old white privileged. It's again ridiculously foolish for white people to talk about what Blacks need to do to get out the cesspool when the Whites built the cesspool and control the door.

Call it white privilege, or foolishness, or whatever you want. It's the cold hard truth and your (black, liberal, foolish - you choose) mind just can't wrap around it, because:

I call it white privilege and it's white-privilged foolishnees that continues to allow white people to think they haven't had a hand in the less than position that Blacks and Hspanics occupy in this country in comparison to Whites.

1) You are black and feel entitled. (or)
2) You are white, liberal, and feel guilty for something that didn't happen in our lifetime. (or)
3) You are a troll.

I'm a follower of Jesus raised to oppose oppression and racism and racial prejudice because they are not consistent with folks who say they love Jesus. It's a bad look and interferes with the ability of folks to witness for Christ.

Just the other day I was talking to a friend in Sweden and she said what's going on in the US is all over their papers. And what are they asking on their version of talk shows? How can white people in the US try to police other countries and their human rights abuses while sitting back and ignoring their abuses against Blacks?

So again, just as with Bloody Sunday, the world is now aware of the same type racism and racial prejudice coming from Whites against Blacks as they saw during Jim Crow.

And because white Christians continue to try and justify this wickedness just as they have tried to justify the wickedness they have perpetrated against Barack Obama, the hand of God shall come against you mightily.

What are those numbers for Jews and non-Jews, and is "Jewish privilege" a myth?

I don't know. We're talking about Whites vs Blacks and Browns. Look them up if you like.

 

[Zaac]

I have one word for you.

Education.

Check the drop out rates. You'll find the reason for the "disparity".

"White privilege is a myth...promulgated by the left to keep blacks in line.

I have three words for you:

White privileged lie.

Dr. Ben Carson is a perfect example of what people can do when they devote themselves to bettering their lives. The man Charles Payne on Fox tells of his upbringing in NYC and how as a teen ager he carried a briefcase to school because he wanted to succeed in business. And he did!. And going back in history we read:

Ben Carson is the result of that Affirmative Action that y'all complain about so much.

 

[carpro]

I have three words for you:

White privileged lie.

Meaning you think education has nothing to do with income.

Kind of a stuppid position to take but...

Got it.:thumbs:

The stupid position to take is one that education is the great equalizer when the old white men who own everything control the hiring even after the folks who have attended the white-privileged schools they control are sending out resumes.

That's why white non-college graduates are getting hired before Blacks with college degrees.

 

[Zaac]

A Black Privilege that I have no access to.

You've got access to the white privilege that makes folks who look like you the majority in EVERY top university in the country.

And it ain't because white students all take education so much more seriously than everyone else.

Facts and statistics really make you look silly here, but if that's the way you want it. :thumbs:

Present your facts and statistics. They aren't gonna do anything but prove that white privilege has positioned white people to be better educated because the schools were built for the majority , hired more often with less education because the white folks are doing most of the hiring, able to pass wealth more often because legislation grew the available wealth of their ancestors while not allowing minorities to do the same.

The only facts and statistics you have are the ones that show that white privilege has stacked the deck against everyone but white people.

 

[carpro]

Present your facts and statistics. .

Already have and you're looking more pitiful by the minute.

Even the inventer of the phony leftist doctrine of "white privilege" is not stupid enough to contend that education does not affect income for all races.

You are correct. Asians take education more seriously than whites.

If you say so. But right now you're just running your mouth. You haven't shown anyone anything. You must be still looking for something to refute the real facts. :smilewinkgrin:

 

[Zaac]

You are correct. Asians take education more seriously than whites.

Yet they aren't the majority in American universities either.

 

[carpro]

If you say so.

I do. It's already posted. Adding willfully blind to your resume?

Waiting for you to take a position on this that doesn't make you look like an idiot.

I have faith you'll do that.raying:

 

[Zaac]

I do.

Waiting for you to take a position on this that doesn't make you look like an idiot.

I have faith you'll do that.raying:

Of course YOU do. White privilege doesn't like to be told that it's wrong. White privilege tends to call names when it doesn't have a defense for its wickedness.

Pray about that.
