    I would like someone to show me an example of ‘White Privelege’...

    On a side note, did you see the teacher who came out saying math is racist because white people scored higher on their math tests than any other race?

    I already linked a study. When employers get identical resumes from 2 candidates and the only differing factor is race they give the discriminate.

    That’s up to the employer. I’m saying, people of a different race (or even some white people) believe in this white privilege bull crap. I get treated no differently than any other citizen in this country. (Outside of pure racist hate groups).

    Fair enough. I acknowledge that white privilege exists to a certain degree, but I've just wondered about the extent to which it does.

    Except the majority of employers treat you favorably when compared to an identically qualified person who is black. Can you discredit the statistics I linked?

    I never said your statistics were wrong. I’m not trying to discredit them either. However, it’s up to the employer. And as people who dislike Donald Trump I would think you could atleast see his business. He hires the people right for the job, did it in the White House too. So it really is up to the employer, specifically leaning towards private companies.

    The fact that employers tend to discriminate means generally white people have a privilege (unearned advantage) over black people. Obviously private businesses and employers should be able to do whatever they want, I think your point is a bit of a non-sequitur.

    Affirmative Action, reverse discrimination, Racial Quotas.

    There was a black president, there is no such thing as white privilege. Your success in life is measured by the effort you put, determination, and the decisions you make. If you decide to live the life of someone who would prefer to party and be lazy, that's your decision. However, if you decide to study and work hard, keep good grades, and be a positive influence on your peers, you might amount to more than your expectations.

    Maybe not *white* privilege per se, but it can definitely be argued that if your family doesn't have money or is unstable or whatever, it's harder to study hard, earn good grades, and keep good grades.

    It’s not white privilege if all races are capable of it. There are plenty of black people, Spanish people, Asian people, who knows maybe even aliens with more money than me.

    Yeah, I didn't really do a very good job of making this clear, but this is what I tried to imply.

    Thanks for saying it more clearly.

    From a study 15 years ago? I thought I read in the one article it was conducted between June/July 2001 to January 2002.

    I didn't read the full article, but what is to say that the employer's already found someone or someone applied that was "more qualified". What if in the resume the African Americans posted they had better experience and education? If I was an employer, would I hire someone who went to college for Administrative Support and has 6 years experience or someone who sorted mail in a high school office?

    The scholarships that someone mentioned are racist or sexist if the SJW are going to play that game. "It's not fair that they can get that but I can't." But, I could identify as a female and apply and then change my identity back if we're going to accept that as a norm.

    They sent identical resumes to employers. The only factor that was different on each of them was race. Any possible freak variations because the employer had been traumatized by a guy named jamal or something would've been leveled out by the sample size.
    I don't understand this tangent. Your mad that transgender women qualify for scholarships for women? What does this have to do with white privilege.

    A) this statistic (in which I’m fine with people using older statatics in debates because I didn’t know a “statistic” could expire? Besides that, we use census reports until they redo the census like every 10 or so years... so based on that logic GeneralNOVA, we should no longer be using any dumb census report?) anyway, this statistic could have more “set ups” in it then we may know about. This is why I’m not too big on using certain statistics. Did they bring in a black person who talked ghetto? Did they lie on the resume & when asked a question in the interview about their education the interviewee didn’t quite know the full resume they were wrongly using? This statistic reminds me of the guy who goes around trolling conservative & liberal ‘rallies’ & asking them questions or mixing up what a candidate said & apparently “stumping them”. That’s what it reminded me of.
    B) as I said before, we have people who vote for someone simply because they’re black. TheDemocrats literal verified twitter account came out with a stupid tweet saying “We will only vote for Muslim women” “black women” “blah blah blah women”, no answer had a man or being white or Christian. It always makes me laugh when people say “Donald Trump is racist” (with no proof that he is and plenty that he isn’t) & my response to that always is the same, “so does that mean... that Ben Carson & Omarosa (and many others).. are they racist too? They support the President..?

    I don’t think there are as many literal racists in the world as they say there are. And I don’t think white privelege is a thing in the way that people proclaim. Every race at some point has the upper hand based on different things.

    Supporting a racist doesn't necessarily mean someone is racist themselves. So... no? That doesn't mean they're racist? Omarosa had a big falling out with Trump recently, so she might not even be the best example to use. Ben Carson has been unheard of ever since the elections.

    As for proof, I'd say his response to Charletteville was very telling. He had every chance to condemn the murder of a protester and the white supremacists, but he didn't. The reason the KKK and neo-nazis support him is because he keeps feeding them.

    Clearly you’re not up to date because there was no “falling out”, she got a new job opportunity and took it. It’s not a falling out just because you leave. FAKE NEWS! Just like they said Tillerson & Ryan we’re leaving, it’s all false false false.

    There is 0 proof that he is a racist. He has condemned racist people & the KKK, have you not heard his opinion on David Duke?

    Not that this has anything to do with white privilege, all I’m going to say if you’re an idiot & need to get your facts straight. As for now, you can stop watching fake news CNN.

    "fake news" blah blah blah. That term was started to delegitimize the media, which is a common tactic by corrupted leaders. Quite literally, any media outlet EVEN if they say true things is constantly pushed aside as fake news by Trump. He takes absolutely no criticism and will never admit he's wrong. He's a narcissistic senile con artist. Anyways, I really don't care whether or not they had a falling out. That doesn't really change the fact that her liking Trump doesn't make Trump a non-racist.

    What was his opinion on David Duke? And just how long did it take him to reject his endorsement?

    I don't even watch CNN. They suck about as much as Fox News. I actually have many sources for where I get information from, including independent ones. None of which think Trump is a decent president. Right wing news stations (I hope you can at least admit there's bias there) are the only news outlets that might show Trump in a good light.
