    If you are white and make the wrong choice you are "poor white trash."

    If you are black and make the right choice you're called an "Oreo" by other blacks.

    I don't like it and I feel it is unjust and unfair.

    I try to stay away from areas where my race is in the extreme minority, especially in areas that tend to be full of unsuccessful and frequently stupid, nonthinking people.

    Fear, hatred, intolerance, cultural, behavior, attitude of superiority, to name some of the main reasons, why White's want Blacks segregated from White's. These are the reasons white's do not want to hire them. White's for the most part won't tell you any of these things, because it isn't convenient. That's why you have me, who isn't afraid to tell the truth.

    The OP gives examples how others make the choices for black people for being black in their disadvantage.
    That's white privilege

    I haven't.

    What is a white sounding name?


    Yes it is. That is not my experience that's a fact.


    I find it extremely racist of you to think black folks have different names.


    You are being racist and you call me a Nazi? That's strange.

    You posted ignorance. And I didn't say you spelled anything wrong. So way to completely fail in every possible way.


    I didn't see a list of black sounding names in the op. Just the same racist comments you have made.

    White sounding names. What a load of crap.

    No it points out that white sounding names are preferable. But gives absolutely no definition of such. It's just racism.

    By claiming
    "I still say it's an invention of people who don't want to take responsibility for themselves."
    you are calling it fake and are in full denial it's a fact / that it is real.

    You said "I have never been invited to a solicitation."
    That's your personal irrelevant experience.
    And its as much as a fact as I am the easter bunny.

    I find your comment exceptionally dumb. It aint my opinion. It's a fact presented in the OP, remember?

    because I told you this aint school and I aint your teacher.

    That preference is white privilege

    No I'm not. In what world do things that are invented not exist? Invention Is bringing them into existence.


    All fairness that's a profoundly stupid way to say you got an interview.
    Yeah personal experience only matters if it's experienced by a black person and is negative. That's called racism.


    It's an unsupported nonsensical claim in the op.


    It doesn't have to be. Supporting your claim as ridiculous as it is is not asking for education


    Lol, it's imagined. Black people have the same kind of names as white people it's racist to say other wise.

    whites have the privilege to pay most of the taxes in this country and fund the deadbeats that want to sit on their couch and complain about white privilege.


    Whites dont get to go out and have all the fun of burning down cities, rioting, looting , and killing eachother over street names and color of their clothes.

    Really ? Well what is a "non-white sounding name", and when did such start becoming popular ?

    Libs keep blaming "whites" for the choices that white culture has made, like focusing more on school, and having kids with two parents in the home, and other things that benefit one's position and mobility in society, while ignoring the cultural choices made by blacks in those same metrics.

    Now, I am white, but if I went down the street yelling "(*)(*)(*)(*) (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" (rhymes with "truck bigger') such that anyone within 200 feet of me could hear it, I suppose that you white libs would be horrified, label me a racist, and wonder how soon before some blacks tried to knock me out, etc.

    Yesterday, visiting friends in Miami Beach, I am walking my dog near a large athletic field and park there. Always active, with many people using and enjoying all. And sure enough, there's about a half dozen blacks, sitting with a boom box of all things, loud enough to hear 200 feet away. And it is some BS rapper singing "(*)(*)(*)(*) (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)" over and over. This is not some isolated incident either.

    So cry me a river all you "blame whitey" self-loathing ignorant fools. The black community will continue to devour itself until they get their heads out of their liberal asses.

    The OP is a pathetic self-loathing liberal diatribe. We were hoping for some common sense from such as you.

    Like that's gonna happen though.

    As a teacher, personal experience tells me otherwise on this one. First thing I see when I pull up the roll call before school starts is a notification of any new students added and when I see any of the names on THIS list for "Black" names, yeah - it turns out they are indeed Black when they walk in. I actually have well over half the names on those lists and they're exactly where the link says they should be. Although the only Molly I ever had was Hispanic.

    And then there's Raven Symone who complained about not hiring anyone named "Watermelondrea" - a comment made even funnier by the fact that she said it on The View to another Black woman named Whoopi. So it's kind of a thing that's known within the Black community itself.

    According to the OP... yes really.
    Are you in school and am I your teacher?

    You most certainly can blame the white population for giving white sounding names a 50% higher chance for a job interview.

    I really don't care about the opinion of some random anonymous right poster on some dime a dozen forum that the source is too much of a liberal thing.

    Most black people have normal names so this isn't racism. It's discriminating against people with strange names.

    You still refuse stubbornly to admit there is such a thing as black and white names... in order to deny white privilege... how petty.

    For the luls...

    Yes, saying there are black and white names is racist.

    White privilege excuses because white people don't show derision and contempt for other white people that are successful. Black people could have this if they simply choose to.

    Most black people don't have names like that. So it isn't discrimination against black people it's discrimination against strange names.

    This isn't even the most idiotic comparison on this thread and I've read some really dumb ones today.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Practicing it makes you no better than the racists you say you hate. Or feel biased against.

    Make sure you tell this to everyone who participated in sports riots and school shootings the last few years.

    Having been a "white" "male" for now fully sixty seven years and having paid attention for now most of those decades … I understand both "white" privilege and "male" privilege ...

    Probably because whites can do the bare minimum and be less qualified in some instances and still get hired, whereas blacks or other minorities who may be more qualified....won't.

    Nope. It's only racist when you deny people with black names to invite for a job interview.
    Thats white privilege applied. And it's freaking raving in the US with 50% more chance for an invite based on just the name.

    If they are denied an invitation based on just their name... than others make the choice for them that benefits white people.

    Thats just your silly opinion.
