But now you're also suggesting we socialize the cost of their bad choices.
that is all fine and logical, but it likely will never happen. Even if it does happen, what will you do with kids born out of wedlock who are in families/single parent households that "have lost safety net"? Should they starve? Should state take them away? I do not know answers other than trying to decrease number of unplanned pregnancies.
Most white families in this country have had more than 3 generations to build wealth and knowledge. That wealth and knowledge should have been passed down. While my great grandparents were running businesses, most black people were decades away from being able to drink at the same water fountain as them. It's no surprise that black families are doing worse on average, and it could have a lot to do with historic inequality. It amazes me that this isn't somewhat obvious to people. True, there are individual white people who were not given much by their parents and made something of themselves. Same goes for black people. But the average black 30 yr old was raised with less than the average 30 yr old white person. They had worse schools, lower financial resources, and parents with lower education. One should expect that it would take many generations to wipe out the effect of Jim Crow.
The rate of child birth among unmarried black women has declined significantly since 1965, all while the rate increased for white women. This graph counters the idea that more black women are having babies out of wed-lock to gain welfare than before.
What about welfare kings, they also exist and come in a variety of skin tones and live in assorted urban and suburban communities all over the country.
Right, but non-marital births for blacks were already high in 1965 -- very high relatively speaking.
Considering most whites in this country arrived decades after the end of slavery and did not receive any free land, the author of the political cartoon you posted is either intentionally lying or unbelievably clueless. Or perhaps you think that Italian and Irish immigrants had that free white priviledge 1870 to 1930.
Oh, and also explain the success of Asians in the US.
No one is fessing up to how many poor white trash babies are born to single mothers.White out-of-wedlock births to white women are around 40% today, less than the 70% black but a disaster compared to high single, low double digits of 55 years ago.
white trash babiesThe even sadder part of it is that many, maybe even the majority, aren't born to what would be called lower income, uneducated people but rather middle and upper income, educated people. What happened about 45 years ago was that behaviors that once were confined to the lower classes began to be taken on by the more upper class, upper income people.
It exists and it's okay to be white as well but never the less "white privilege" exists to this day just as ethnic or racial privilege exists in other countries.
A box of condoms is $2.94 at walmart. Maybe if you can't scrounge up $2.94 to have a LOT of sex, you shouldn't be having sex.

I's can't afford no condoms, said Shaniqua, adjusting her new $200 Hair Hat.
Seriously Guise, you'd be shocked how expensive weaves and wigs are.
Remember, we need our weaves, so burn down the Suburbs instead.
There exists a subculture in ethnic Asian communities for those already born here as opposed to those just arriving who are considered less worthy than.
It really does exist
If you love sex and can't spend a few percent of your total allowance on birth control then you shouldn't have it.
Somalis aren't
Here's a thought exercise.
It's all about framing.
A shared characteristic tied to achievement, low crime, and general good outcome could be considered "Excellence".
When a cop stops a white guy with a wedding ring, driving a mid-range car, with a cup of coffee and some folders in the cupholder and front seat, chances are he's dealing with an excellent individual and there's little reason to bother looking for drugs or a TEC-9 with no serial number or suspect that the car is stolen.
Let's call it "White Excellence" or "Asian Excellence" or "Middle Class Excellence" or even "Western Excellence" instead.
How can we inspire minorities to achieve "White Excellence"?
But of course, if you root for the underdog, right or wrong, and are reflexively over-critical and bitter, you want to frame it in a negative light, you call this "White Privilege" and act as if it's special, unmerited achievement. You view commuting to a decent job in an owned ...
Perhaps not on an individual family level
200 year old “one drop” rule to decide whether someone is disadvantaged or privileged
Excellence and Privilege are not synonymous
It's a difference in Framing. "White Privilege" is a way to emphasize the OUTCOME of championing a work ethic, handing down the results of that work ethic (inheriting property/money), and putting a high value on accomplishment, as being a negative thing, almost "Unearned Advantage." Focusing solely on the relative outcomes between those with "White Privilege" and those who don't.
"American Excellence" celebrates those values and correctly frames the "Privilege" of Whites as the result of adoption of success inducing values.

You’re responding to the issue with faulty assumptions. Priviliges are granted to those who didn’t do anything to deserve them, hence ‘unearned’.
Excellence is something one accomplishes by working hard for it, hence why Excellence cannot be given, but must be earned.
Two completely different things. Not sure why anyone would attempt to muddy the waters by conflating them as if they ars the same

White Collar White guys sniff all the coke. No resources spent on harassing and jailing them.
Black kids express entrepreneurial spirit: sell crack cocaine to all the white who prefer smoking to insuffocating on the Free market! 20- life in prison with massive amounts of resources spent against them and their Small Businesses
White kids deal dope, white kids die en masse from dope: we must help thrm. Rehab and wrist slap.
There is no Racism here. Only White Excellence

That's because they have money, not because they're white. Blacks with tons of money get away with everything as well, see OJ. Money is the divider in the US - for better or worse - not race.

But, the "privilege" is that society views white people, in general, move favorably in some aspects simply because they're white. A random white person who DOES NOT deserve this elevated status will still receive it to much extent - and that's the privilege, the fact that they benefit despite there being 0 information to suggest that this specific person is deserving of it (aside from their whiteness). White privilege is not open to anybody but whites, but every race enjoys their own privileges.
Would you have some quantification as to white privilege? I know only that wherever I look, quantification shows that actually equally qualified whites (and, to even a larger extent, Asians) are discriminated against. Case in point: med school admissions:

Literally 4 in 5 black children today are growing up without a father or mother, and black women are having record numbers of children without fathers who are now totally dependent on the state for survival. From Baltimore to Newark, millions of single parent black families are on the welfare tab and voting solidly Democrat for the past 50+ years. With this instability, another generation succumbs to the same mistakes, dependent on the same welfare programs, and never ever climbing the ladder of social mobility. WTF is happening here?
This is insanity. It's cultural suicide. Liberalism/Leftism is a cultural cancer and the effects on the black community have been devastating.
