"White Privilege" is a Bolshevik Marxist Weaponized attack label. It exists in the minds of the mind controlled, and has no place in Logic.
"It means if you're "white" your grandparents weren't denied home-loans simply because of their skin color."
Oh, they weren't? Do you mean they were only denied based on their 'class' status?
How about my parents? Were they denied because of their skin color or something else?
What about me? Did I get a home 'Loan' of fiat, because I am white colored? Or did it have something to do with an 820 credit score?
The blacks that DID get home loans, and were homeowners during the time my grandparents were not able to acquire one, did they get one because of...hmm, I can't logically think of why...
None of this is the average "white" person's "fault", they are not individually "responsible" for the "privilege" they've unwittingly enjoyed.
This is more marxist, illogical, tripe. Applying 'Guilt' across the board, is not only ridiculous, but a detrimental attack applied by foreign marxist Communists. Saying it isn't 'their fault' is still, nothing but an attack, designed to castrate the European race into self-hate/guilt/suicide.
Why don't you do an experiment. Move to China for a while. Start a movement telling them they have too much "Chinese Privilege". See if they call you a Baizuo :)
Baizuo (pronounced "bye-tswaw) is a Chinese epithet meaning naive western educated person who advocates for peace and equality only to satisfy their own feeling of moral superiority. A baizuo only cares about topics such as immigration, minorities, LGBT and the environment while being obsessed with political correctness to the extent that they import backwards Islamic values for the sake of multiculturalism.
However, there should be some acknowledgement that many of their neighbors did not enjoy the same unspoken, invisible "privilege".
I completely disagree.
I recommend undoing some of the cultural marxist programming that has shaped so many of our realities, making us think that this is 'our thoughts' when they are not. Acting on falsehoods, lies, fake history, causes us to think we are doing things that are 'of ourselves' and they are simply not. It takes a breakdown of self, a 'surrender' if you will, that you accept that you have been fooled...It starts there.
I don't listen to anything 'Adam Ruins', either, for the reason I stated above. His delivery of cultural marxist brainwashing is catchy and 'comedy' which makes it sink into the masses without being detected for what it is....Like the Daily Show, and well, anything on the mainstream...
I agree with you that it's important to keep in mind that only 2% of "white people" owned slaves.
And I hope we can agree that there's no reason for the average "white person" to feel an ounce of guilt about slavery because they did nothing to promote it themselves.
HOWEver, "white people" have gained an advantage (however slight in some cases), generally, especially the Brits and Americans, from the historic oppression of the "other".
This is not a new phenomenon. The Hindus practically worship their history of systemic racism that spans thousands of years. The Egyptians and Romans built empires on the backs of slave labor.
Can you understand the plight of the characters in movies like "FIRST BLOOD" and "FALLING DOWN"?
2 minutes,
2 minutes,
Now imagine millions of people who feel the exact same way.
Sure their frustration should be focused on the BILLIONAIRES.
Sure, but our owners are very skilled at TURNING US AGAINST EACH OTHER.
We have a lot to 'undo' in the programming department!
First of all, when you say "White People" are you referring to Slavic, Germanic, Caucasian, Latin, Turkic, Celtic, Scandinavian.....or can't you tell?
We'll start there ;)
I'm putting quotes around the term "white people" specifically because it is an extremely unscientific catch-all that generally refers to non-latin, non-asian, non-african, non-middle eastern, non-native relatively lighter skinned people of very generally western european ancestry.
Of course there was a time when the Italian immigrants were not considered "american".
And of course there was a time when the Irish immigrants were not considered "american".
And of course there was a time when the Greek immigrants were not considered "american".
And there was even a time when the German immigrants were not considered "american".
Thinking about it some more, it's almost like "white" (in modern lingo) is now a stand-in for "real american" (in stark contrast to "native american").
So then you see how it is socially acceptable to generalize white/black? Not good. There are over 50 countries in Africa. Many of the African people VASTLY VARY between countries. Just like 'Europeans'.
The most heinous attack on our peoples was done by the Communist Banker class, and that was to say "White People", "Black People". They effective eviscerated ALL of our roots with a phrase. Without roots, you get this shitshow.
And after they were considered American, the usa removed that status in the snap of a finger, and put Germans into Concentration Camps (along with the Japanese), and stripped them of everything.
I don't get or see that at all. I only see that with 'foreigners', not blacks. Blacks are considered 'real americans' if they are patriotic. Whites are considered Communist Demons if they support communism.
Hollywood has melted the brains of most. Discussions like this are an uphill battle at best. The programming is so vast that it mostly cannot even be recognized by the programmed, let alone addressed.
I recommend making #1 goal for everyone, to first undo the programming, so that objectivity can be, at least sniffed.
Excellent point.
I appreciate your assistance.
Along with Italian Americans. Even Joe DiMaggio's parents were thrown into an internment camp.
I don't think Adam's 100% "right" about "everything", maybe closer to 65%, but I also enjoy entertaining viewpoints that I disagree with.
He made a very interesting point, in front of a live audience in Portland, that their city was founded as a white supremacist utopia and remains to-this-very-day the least diverse city in the united states.
I found that interesting.
Can you define what that means please?
I get called a 'white supremacist' if I say the phrase, "The european race has some great accomplishments"
And the hypocrisy tells me who I am dealing with at the very moment it happens. It takes all my patience not to throw rationality out the window.
Was Portland literally sanctioned and set up to be 'for whites only' or did it just declare that it is a utopia for 'white supremacists'?
I personally, would like to live with my own race, and visit others.
When Oregon was granted statehood in 1859, it was the only state in the Union admitted with a constitution that forbade black people from living, working, or owning property there. It was illegal for black people even to move to the state until 1926.

I knew about the constitution, but I wasn't aware of anything specific to 'Portland'.
I'm pretty sure that would just be redundant.
