Um no, it fits in with what I've witnessed and experienced as a non-wealthy white.
You're responding as though I'm disagreeing with you when I'm not, I'm just saying please don't act as though white skin automatically ensures you won't get dealt an unfair hand in life.
Being white doesn't guarantee you a fair hand, but it does guarantee you an easier shot at evening the playing field over anyone else born in similar economic circumstances. To deny that would be just being willfully naive -

Because it's not as accurate nor clear and precise as some try to make it seem. There is undeniable correlation but there are impoverished groups in eastern Europe and Wealthy brown people in India, Northern Africa and the Middle East which confound it.
When things like "White's don't have to experience (Insert undesirable thing here)" are said it sounds like an absolute is being pushed which just can't be shown to be true statistically.
Also it's only one of the real issues. Power is another equally important one as racial discrimination would not matter nearly as much were it not for the power people have to act on their racial biases -

I'd agree with that.

merely being white gives u an upper hand... u cannot prove otherwise...
even being a poor white, u still have white privilege that isn't afforded to poor blacks...
WHITE PRIVILEGE means that your poor white ass has a higher likelihood of drug use, but a lower likelihood of being searched... -
Blackrain already made your point and I agreed.

1. this thread and these discussions are usually about what happens in the US... we have different history, economic system, political system, etc than other countries. those caparisons are irrelevant.
2. few things are absolute, even in the hard sciences... i.e. certain medicine doesn't work for everyone in every case...
3.yeah -

I'm not full white and I've never had to deal with that ? .
Why would you tho? You're a girl.
Cause it's a thread about race. -
To sum this ? up
Even if you're a ? poor drugged out white piece of trash
you're still better off than a "? " in this country
The class warfare is true, but don't get it twisted, back in the day the elite whites knew they had to give the poor white the illusion of inclusion in order to maintain a stronghold on ? by separating the poor people, black and white. So yeah poor whites were treated better than blacks, free or slave, and that hasn't changed since.

So then why dog Kat for agreeing with my dispute of the absoluteness of some of the points when we know that they are not as outright as OP claims?
Its cause she's white isn't it? -
duh.
-
because y'all sought to undermine the thread premise by basically saying "sometimes white ppl have a hard time" as if thats what the issue is about...
-
The thread proposes that whites never experience certain things which you agree is not the case. I undermined nothing except the absolute nature proposed, which is supported by the fact that a lot of these things are moreso class based as they can be seen in the impoverished classes of more homogeneous countries.

where is the finger pointing?

I infer from their behavior that they think about blacks quite often... they take every opportunity to make racial comments (good or bad)...
they express in numerous ways that they have complex theories about life along racial lines...
