White Privilege...say what?!?
While at a White Privilege conference, Ami interviews people in an attempt to find out what white privilege is.
Responses include:
"ALL white people have white privilege."
"ALL white people are prejudice and racist."
(such informative answers, right?!.... :s)
When asked, no one could come up with even one response to a white privilege encounter in their daily life.
They continue to respond:
"Black people are consumed with the issue day to day...if you don't admit it, you are blinding yourself."
A white man states that he "extends his white privilege over to his wife" who is black, by placing his hand over her at the train station.
(WTF?!?!)
After all of this emphasis on white privilege from a white perspective, Ami then goes to a dominantly black community to ask their opinion.
Their responses include:
"I've heard of it (white privilege), but I don't think about it."
"No, I'm not consumed with it at all."
"My mom didn't raise me to view color as an object of anything."
These white, liberal elitist ideas, although fair to consider, are so far fetched and extreme. It might help them to maybe speak to other groups of people outside their sheltered cohort of white friends.
Here's the video.
The Black Lives Matter movement is not representative of the opinions of all black people as your post beautifully illustrates. Its aim is to collectivize the African American population and silence individuals who think differently. I should also point out that billionaire Jewish-Nazi collaborator scumbag George Soros funded this movement and the ferguson riots, that inspired many other riots around the country, in order to insight social unrest. Social Justice is pretty much just cultural Marxism and should be 100% extinguished in areas where people wish to remain FREE!
yes yes yes yes yes!
I understand the concept behind white privilege, but the framing of it is inhibiting its message. By calling it "white privilege" it creates an enemy of people who have done nothing wrong and creates further divide along racial lines. It also suggests that white people are receiving an unfair advantage over others, which builds resentment and creates the idea that white people need to be brought down. In reality its just another way of naming oppression of minorities. I think addressing it in that way, as oppression rather than privilege, is a far more effective and fair way to discuss it. By calling it oppression we identify the correct aggressor, which is institutions of power, more specifically the state. It also frames it in a way so that the answer is to free minorities of their oppression rather than strip whites of their privilege. By addressing it as oppression it allows whites to join in the fight without the distrust and animosity that white privilege creates. Not only because it alleviates that mindset of whites being the opponent, but also because it doesn't make poor white people who have shit circumstances resentful of minorities who blame them.
I agree!
I'm from latinoamerica, so i can't really say anything but is kinda weird for me.
I really like this guy, no bullshit.
