I've gotta ask a whitey from the SA diaspora about this privilege. I get it.

This is nothing but a generalization. This can only be answered by each white person individually. And the answers may differ. However, you have the right to have your opinion.
Because like I said, once you acknowledge your white privilege, you can start to transcend your white privilege and become enlightened.
Luckily I was educated on white privilege many years ago and had a lot of time to work on it, and while I will always have white privilege as long as other white people are not educated, I can proudly say that I am now free of any racism and sexism personally.
Generic 'white people' in America are just the result of a social engineering project that pushed people with ethnic identities that were part of ethnic communities out of these ethnic and religious communities into pop up suburban communities after the war where they had nothing but skin color in common and were told 'now yer plain ol' white guys.' Whatever that was supposed to mean. I don't see how that could be considered a privilege really. I don't think I would consider it such.
EU 1.0
So Europe is undergoing now what America underwent after WW2. White ethnic neighborhoods in the cities emptied out into suburbs. Rural blacks moved into the cities. Do you see parallels with the EU experience Galt? With the destruction of ancient Iraqi,and Syrian civilization and the destruction of Libya accompanied by the movement of the male victims of war into the European cities as well the movement from sub Saharan Africa the break opened by the toppling of Qadhaffi. Great Empires have always moved populations around, The Babylonians on down to Stalin and the EU NATO today.

I'll manage.
Of course, but I'm not wondering about that. It's a given you'll get through. Hell you aren't even there to witness the transfer of the captivities to Europe.
Europe has never taken on captivities, unlike Iraq. We're entering uncharted waters now.
*I better quit now I'm pretty bombed and my typing has fallen off sharply the way yours does sometimes.
It's doomed uncle. Kalergi followed by population reduction.
Don't worry, it's an imaginary ignore list.I won't have you ignore me.
Iraq 2.0
Squirrel toucher had me on ignore. Changed my life.
The concept of "white privilege" doesn't exist in 2nd or 3rd world economies therefore is not relevant to the discussion. In North America a young person is the least likely to kill themselves. This is a demonstrable fact.
That's weird....
I feel an impulsive urge to sexually harass you. There must be subliminal messages in this thread.
That's daft. Racism is everywhere, you should be sensible though.
I don't think I ever suggested that racism doesn't exist everywhere.
These are the things I have to deal with everyday.
Couse you are biych.
Depends what you mean by privilege. I mean US is still mostly white (if you count all the caucasian groups as one) and much of the culture is based on various white groups and much of the power is distributed there. I think it's pretty normal for white people to have an edge with other white people. Humans do judge and feel more comfortable around the familiar. It's Natural to gravitate toward people you share similarities with.
I wouldn't correlate having an edge with your successful genetic cultural crew as being racist. It's an advantage though and I'm not sure why you're quick to say it doesn't exist.
There are social reasons for suicide among the middle age white male demographic that have nothing to do with this discussion that I think you are using as leverage to say that society is pent up against white males. It may be pent up against males in general since the facets of success are tied to things that make it difficult for males to achieve such as sitting in a chair all day, repetition and memorization. 120 years ago good strong hands, some engineering savvy and a woman who couldn't bankrupt you and turn your kids against you was all you needed to succeed. I don' think this has anything to do with minorities making it harder for the white man but everything to do with women making it hard for the white man. Minorities although they have American freedoms tend not to take advantage of facets that ruin men like divorce until several generations in. So imo its things like this where newer minorities have a cultural edge over white males. They are still boss while white men especially in middle and lower incomes arent really the man of the house anymore and these things contribute to depression.
Next time I hear An I tie day De white
If the group with all the privilege, is also the one most likely to be depressed. How much of a privilege can it actually be? Like race the idea of a race, being "privileged" is a social construct. There's no basis for it in reality.
I like how you guys try to win arguments by seeing who can talk the most fancy. It makes my nipples tingle
