Is the term “White privilege” discriminatory?

Lol you win nothing.

 

I win, because you can not prove your point and I did. That is how it works.

It's also kind of "special" that you first demand a source or otherwise you won't believe it. But when presented, you still refuse to believe it. Your opinion just matters more, and where you demand that others must prove their point, you do not. It doesn't work like that for sure. lol

 

More and more of these so called studies are being retracted at academic levels because they’re finding bias in them. Your source is garbage. Yours is just another example and proof that many who support these kind of studies are incapable of understanding all variables. It’s amusing really.

 

This study is 6 years old, and still not retracted. And you are incapable to get 1 single source debunking this. All you got is snappy refurbished comments hating on scientific research that you can find on facebook.

Hence it still is I got a source proving systemic racism, and you got nothing.

 

It's much easier and politically profitable for radical Democrats to drown Blacks in propaganda about how they're all so "downtrodden" and "disadvantaged", while keeping them on government-sponsored preference programs of many different kinds and cradle-to-grave welfare programs, and milking them for their votes in every election.

 

The other day there was studies from much further back than that that were retracted. It’s clear this study didn’t take all variables into account.

 

See that I care.
Plenty of people think the earth is flat, that Biden cheated his way into office etc etc. Them people, like you, lack proving their point.
So you either you got something to prove, or you do not. Currently you do not and run around the bush as if you're that girl from little house on the prairie.

Hence I proved systemic racism.

 

I never claimed Biden cheated his way into office. You’re a rambling fool

 

You need to look up the definition is systemic.
Even if your article were true it doesn’t meet the criteria of systemic racism. But I’m glad you fall for coined terms

 

I see you're still running around the bush, with no source at all proving me wrong.

 

Some projects succeed, some don’t. I’ve been following this project for years. I’ve donated in the past. Good organization.

Again and again, we're regaled in this thread with stories about the infallibility of 'studies' that have come from Harvard. Well, just over ten years ago, wonderous Harvard 'stubbed its toe' quite noticeably!

"Former Harvard University psychologist Marc Hauser fabricated and falsified data and made false statements about experimental methods in six federally funded studies, according to a report released yesterday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services's Office of Research Integrity (ORI)."

"In August 2010, The Boston Globe broke the news that Harvard had found Hauser solely responsible for eight instances of scientific misconduct."

The takeaway? Anybody's "research" can be a result of faulty methods, wishful thinking, and the desire to gain recognition and influence in any given field, even within the hyperliberal 'hallowed halls of academia'....

What we do know for a FACT, however, is that discrimination against anyone because of race, national origin, creed, religion, etc., is a federal crime according to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and if anyone doubts that, there are lots of high-minded attorneys who can most generously provide pro bono services to those who believe that they have been wronged because of oppressively-applied "White Privilege"! To find such a lawyer, just contact the local office of the ACLU....

 

Then we agree there is nothing unusual that blacks have confrontations with police at higher rates.

Then if you do believe there is something nefarious about the fact that more blacks get pulled over and arrested than whites what would be your solution if not to either arrest fewer blacks or more whites having to come up with some crimes they can be charged with.

When the people for whom the free education is being offered refuse to take advantage of it, when we keep paying teachers whose results get worse and worse without offering options..........what are you solutions? The black and white kids all go to the same schools around her and the same educational achievement and disparities exist. And we pay LOTS per pupil to educate them. How do you propose to fix the educational system where these is no white privilege.

 

Oh boy. Can I jump in here?

I would screen ALL police, looking at their history, their friend’s comments, their social media, . . . . anything that might reveal their inner person, and eliminate any who indicate evidence or even probability of white supremacy or authoritarian inclinations. Police chiefs should get extra scrutiny.

 

I would jump in and suggest that if everybody, of all races, would simply obey the law, and comply with all police commands in a responsible, prompt way then that alone would probably do away with 90% of the trouble that Blacks (and everybody else) seem to be constantly having with police.

 

And now an anecdote:
I had an acquaintance some years ago who was a well educated Black lady and she wanted work done on her house. She wanted to give the work to a Black small business. The one she hired’s selling point was they were also Christians per their add. Anyway, they did a bad job and blew her off about fixing it. She swore she was going to hire a white contractor next time.

I would consider this an example of “white privilege”. Whites being considered more trustworthy and more competent generally. A form of positive discrimination and example of elitism. Believing one class of people are more worthy than another.

 

Last time I had a new roof put on my house, and, separately, a lot of new siding and all-new gutters, I hired two different outfits that used workers from Mexico -- entirely! In all instances, the work done was SUPERB... absolutely first-class! And, to the point about "white privilege", all I can say is that the very last category I would choose to have even touching my house would be some bunch of White guys, Gen Z's or whatever else is bubbling up in society now.

The takeaway? If you need somebody to show you how to do 'cool' stuff on your smartphone, get a White kid (preferably no older than about 25). Having work done on the exterior of your house? Hire "south of the border"!

 

You seemed to have missed the point. I was illustrating that an intelligent Black woman was subscribing to the "white privilege" myth, in that whites as race are more trusted and are more competent.

 

Well, I can agree that anyone who selects a company to do work for them based on assumptions about an entire sector of the human race is very possibly going to be making a costly mistake, based in ignorant assumptions.

Still in all, talent is where you find it! If I were hiring people to be on a professional basketball team, I'd certainly look first (but not exclusively) at the ranks of Black basketball players. Are Blacks better at a number of professional sports? The facts seem to indicate that they are! No "white privilege" there.
