white privilege is having people take you seriously and agree with you when you say black people are more racist that white people because we oftentimes expect to be treated with racism.

White privilege is Justin Bieber being nominated for a BET award and having P. Diddy defend it by saying, “Sometimes, at other award shows, the color of your skin or the type of music you make takes away from getting the accolade you deserve.”

White privilege is Greek life at our school. All the white-dominate fraternities and sororities go through formal rush and are recognized, while the black-dominate fraternities and sororities go through informal rush. Odds are, you’ll hear about black fraternities and sororities through flyers, but you’ll hear about white fraternities and sororities through giant sheet paintings.

White privilege is when the same people who said 4 years ago that we must “respect the president” are the ones most disrespectful to a black president.

You love your statistics and data so much, yet it proves you false each and every time. Let’s be real then: you don’t actually care about empirical evidence; you’re just desperate to find anything to poke holes in the fact that some people are given marked advantages in this society based on the color of their skin.

White Privilege is white graffiti artists appropriating a medium created by PoC to send messages like “fuck the system” when the system is the very reason you can make graffiti and become popular and acclaimed for it rather than arrested and brutalized by the police.

White privilege is being able to call the President a Kenyan despite the fact that he was born in Hawaii and also ignoring the fact that John McCain was born in Panama ( more specifically the canal zone). If McCain wanted to visit his homeland he would be in Panama today.

White privilege is not dreading the daily humiliation of seeing people literally (LITERALLY) running to the adjacent train on the subway to avoid getting on the same one with you. It’s not seeing your suspicions confirmed by a real-life Colored’s Only car developing along the way, as the only people who don’t see you, and subsequently them, as a threat are other black people....

White privilege is not having the teacher calling you by your last name because they can’t say your first name even though it’s four fucking letters and probably the easiest name you’ll ever see. White privilege is the teacher not stuttering when she talks about Muslims and Arabs thinking anything she says will offend you.

White privilege is when you are noticeably struggling in a class, the teacher may try to reach out with help or concern, instead of joking that she will call your parents to organize a support group for parents with underachieving Asians as children.

undergroundheroredux:
They both consist of:
incessant bitching
often childish responses by moderators
little-to-no suggestions for improving race/gender relations
complete and total belief that they’re right, all of the time.
Maybe that’s just how privilege blogs work, and I’m pointing things out for no reason.
Maybe you should eat a dick.

White Privilege lets the priest make a racist joke at my grandmother’s funeral. DURING THE DAMN EULOGY.
He was talking about the bullshit, historically inaccurate etymology of “goodbye” and it’s roots in “god be with you” and how people started slurring it because they were lazy “like they do in West Austin and Garfield Park” (two well known black...

White privilege is looking like a Disney Princess. If you look through the blog, there are exactly two People of Color who are featured (that might be because all POC know nobody’s going to tell them they look like a Disney Princess.) Both of them are Asian, both of them are told that they look like lesser characters from Mulan 2. The white girls however, look like a variety of characters,...

White privilege is The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and their belief that black people are cursed with the mark of Cain. As well as their crazy belief that everyone is Heaven will be white or turn white.
Mod note: And the fact that someone who believes this is being seriously considered as a President of this country.

taenn1t asked: What are your thoughts on racism and white privilege in mainstream media, particularly television?

What kind of programming would you like to see, particularly for children, to encourage healthy...

White privilege is not having your little brother automatically put into an English as a Second Language program just because he “wasn’t white.” Even though he was born in the US and has never been in an ESL program before transferring schools in 4th grade. Even though he was never given a test to check. Just because his parents had an accent.

dirtyxygirl-deactivated20130502 asked: Someone asked you what "cis" meant. It's worth noting that cisgender and cissexual are two different things, and neither includes gender presentation. Having a gender presentation that is incongruent with cultural norms, such as a butch woman, doesn't disqualify someone from being cis.

White privilege is thinking that using the “N” word is perfectly fine because they didn’t have anything to do with what their ancestors did to my ancestors and then proceed to calling you a nigga in the same way their ancestors did to mine.

bejamin asked: You suffer from the same delusions as the majority of most angry (often minority) groups. You can't generalise "whites" based on the things you have experienced. Even in your FAQ, concerning the one with whites hating whites, and you turning them down for it. Is that not what you want? If you are pointing out the racism in the world do you not want "whites" to see it?...

White privilege is middle class white journalists talking about how to ‘appreciate’ Serena Williams.
White people are the arbiters of opinion on athletes - their writing on Serena Williams is ‘legitimising’ them, while if black journalists wrote about Serena Williams it would be all about people holding up ‘role models’ from their own race.

White privilege is being hesitant to hook up with a guy who’s West Indian even though you like him and are attracted to him. The reason being that you’re “scared” because he doesn’t have a white penis.

hii-p0wer asked: Lol you're telling white people to check their privilege, how about you do the fucking same. I'm Native American we have less rights and privilege than, Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanic. All of you have more privilege than NA's do. So really stop pinning on white people how easy they have it, you have it pretty damn easy yourself.
