White Privilege seems an odd sort of privilege to me. I never would've thought that having to have a higher GPA and SAT/ACT scores to have the same chance as a minority applicant to get into the same school was a privilege. Nor would I have thought it a privilege to have to be demonstrably better than any minority applicant to have the same chance of getting the same job. Nor would I have thought it a privilege to have to have a higher income, credit score and down payment to get the same terms on the same loan as a minority applicant. I never would have thought it a privilege to be told that I was responsible for all of the ills of the world based on my race. I wouldn't have thought it a privilege to have all of the bad things my ancestors did emphasized ad nauseum while all the positives were either derided or ignored while everybody else got the exact opposite treatment. I didn't think it a privilege to have an ever-increasing amount of my money confiscated via taxation to fund welfare programs that disproportionately benefit minorities. In fact, it seems to me that a lot of what is called white privilege, if applied by whites to a minority, would be considered the worst sort of racism and bigotry

White privilege is being able to stand bold and proud in the sunlight and get the shit burned out of you.

White privilege to me is:

Generally considered sexually attractive, even more so to other races.
Wealth is disproportionated held by white people.
-leads to market forces favoring whites. ex better stores, better malls, better service on Amazon.
-automatic credibility
-generally being beyond suspicion for similar actions
-statistically proven to get lighter sentences for similar crimes, if charged at all. Police know who pays them and can get them fired.
-white people don't fear the police
-achievements aren't credited to affirmative action

Now to balance that, we have black privilege, which is basically rooted in a liberal ideal of elevating people unworthy or undeserving
-heightened and extreme reactions to receiving blame or being held accountable
-blaming everything negative on past racism
-entitlement mentality forgetting what real achievement is
-preference in hiring for government and private sector jobs
-protected status above accountability

In short, white privilege is inherent, and black privilege is bestowed on people who need a pass to act like morons.

Equator get direct sun light, bulk of population live near equator and is dark skin, more melatonin to prevent sunburn.

White people live away from equator in colder area where there is light. They have less melatonin.

Hope that clears major difference between two.
Yes some exception due to movement. Australia was white criminal colony, but indigenous people are dark.
Jesus was born in middle east so he was most likely brown since middle east is near equator. And he might be short People were lot shorter 2000 years ago.

Some argue about iq but iq test is subjective. I have seen black people from good school/neighborhood do same and even better than white kids. Lot of iq tests are in English, most of non english speaking countries won't do well on them. Compare score from Singapore which is diverse to see that there is not much difference. Also what does iq measure, ability to solve some puzzles?

Give those iq tests to some redneck, see how he does it compare to some African who doesn't speak English.

Read some novels on British living conditions in 17 to 19 th century.

Any one to blame is racist white, asian and even some black women who only date white men. For one Batchelor party saw lot of ad from Asian n black women who only will go with white men.

I always thought it is fine for a white woman to date a man and h is black; but, it is racist as F*&^ to date a man because he is black.

And when Whites become the minority, they will be MORE hated and discriminated against, guaranteed.


Worldwide white people are minority


What's going on now is the classic precursor to genocide:

- blame and demonization of a race or religion
- systematic discrimination against them in education, employment
- disarming them
- eventual murder

When white people themselves complain about white privilege, something else is going on.

What they are really saying is "I hate Republicans."

They equate white and Republican in their minds. They are still bitter about losing the last election, and afraid of losing this one too.

And they are trying to give their barely-concealed hate for Republicans legitimacy with the Criterion of Embarrassment:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criterion_of_embarrassment

Basically saying "See, since I'm white myself, when I complain about white people it must be true."

But the actual truth is just that they would be embarrassed to come right out and say "I hate Republicans." That would be so obviously partisan that it would be instantly dismissed.

I got this idea from https://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/30/i-can-tolerate-anything-except-the-outgroup/

Black Jealousy

Or to be more precise it's white and Jewish Liberals telling black people they should be ashamed of themselves for being black.
