The only privileges I believe exist are those of motivation and education. Having these usually get you ahead in life and the color of a person's skin doesn't dictate the benefits reaped.
You guys have been trolled so hard into the race war. Why not consider what special interest groups are benefiting from manufacturing it through the media.
YES
I found out and one of the guys in mgt told me a year later. Two years later they tried to hire me because of the numbers my facility was accomplishing but I told them thanks Im happy here.
I got to know those guys and the reason I wasnt hired was they didnt want a Southern hick to be the face of the facility. I was like why am I a hick..."because your from SC LOL... I looked at him "I bet the next time you will never judge a book by its cover... He said "Its the single biggest mistake I will never make again. It happens but life goes on and good people will always land on their feet.
Of course it was childish. It was to get a point across.
Here's what you don't understand. People don't dislike you because you have a different opinion. They hate you because, to you, everyone else is ignorant. No one likes your narcissistic personality. In other words, no one likes a smart ass.
Well, okay. That'd be nice if it was true, but it isn't. Maybe some of these will help you understand better. @RodnHe too. I'll attach both the links and pull out the key excerpts:

"Job applicants with white-sounding names are 50 percent more likely to get called in for an interview."
https://www.law.upenn.edu/live/news/2170-new-study-by-professor-david-s-abrams-confirms#.VwAIoxIrLwd
"Black defendants are at least 30 percent more likely to be imprisoned than white defendants for the same crime."
Remember the Donald Sterling controversy?
https://www.propublica.org/getinvolved/item/have-you-experienced-housing-discrimination
"The National Fair Housing Alliance reports that as many as 4 million African-Americans and Latinos experience housing discrimination each year."
People who have drugs on them will serve time my friend. My uncle and father served time for trafficking cocaine and I feel they got what they deserved. Doing illegal substance will get you time regardless of color. By the way my father is white
See the post directly above yours. Whites are less likely to be imprisoned for the same crime.
MF you make bad decisions bad things will happen.... Its that simple.... I used to beg and plead to my guys leave the weed alone because its illegal and you will lose your opportunity in pro sports. If sweet tea became illegal today I would stop drinking it or lose my opportunity in school. And very few will have my opportunity its not worth the gamble.
Hate is a very strong word. I certainly don't hate ice although he and I never agree on these types of issues. He's always on the left and I'm always right
I was short and wore glasses and pretty smart. White and black guys used to call me names and punch me. Was this racism on two fronts. Should I be protesting. im white. Middle class. Was able to be so because my parents WORKED THIER ASSES OFF to be so. White privilege? if you aren't 50 or older take your oppression talk elsewhere. It was an awful time in history that people for some reason are trying to harken back to and relate to today. The sense of entitlement that grows with each generation is alarming. I'm moving to Alaska. People suck.

Bad things will happen unless you're a white teenager? I just quoted that for the exact same crime. Same thing. White teenagers are give a more lenient penalty. How do u rationalize that?

But there's nothing more to discuss? I guess I just don't understand your point. I said racism exists. You agree. Okay
except statistics tell us what you just said is the exact opposite of the truth.
Illegal drug use higher among whites than blacks.
Drugs blacks use, despite being less harmful than some drugs whites use, carry stiffer mandetory minimums.
Whites more likely to deal drugs, less likey to be arrested.
I thought he was being sarcastic. Oh wait, I gotcha. Gotta be those damn Jews. Lol. Geez. Ice, send him a few Caroline Glick articles.

You don't care that the law on this issue unfairly deals out punishment based on your race?
You can't see how that's a problem?
The law is not racist. The law is inanimate and has to be administered and interpreted by humans.
Please cite the law that administers penalties based on race.

we all are experts of oppression.
oppression is defined by the parameters built within each individual's mind.
i think many minorities use the term "oppression" for their outcome instead of the real terms-
like "laziness"
Dude, at least try to have a conversation. The law itself may not be racist anymore but the enforcement of the law or the reasoning for the law (see crack cocaine sentencing vs powdered cocaine sentencing) can absolutely be applied in an unfair manner.
I am having a conversation just pointing out that there isn't a law today that's racist.
Crack vs Cocaine sentencing guidlines are a poor argument, considering the stance the congressional black caucus, among others, took on the issue going back to Nixon's White House. Were there disparate consequences, yes, and much of the laws pertaining to this have been repealed or ammended for years now.
If you want to say that there may be racists that are judges or prosecutors or that end up on juries I would agree. There are racist individuals from every race, creed, color, socioeconomic, religious affiliation, sexual orientation and any other group you want to add. This will never change, the world is full of morons.
So what you do is accept that blacks will have a higher conviction rate? Unacceptable to me. That's why having blind juries is an idea. Or why just getting rid of some ineffective laws is a good idea
I do and all I have heard is crying from both black and white. They base the sentence on the drug, the amount and your previous record. Those are the facts so believe what you want. I think they all should be deported.... Nothing good develops from drugs
i think when laws punish crack more severely than heroin the laws are inherently racist.
Maybe if you didnt break the law??? Oh yea laws are like records to the left they are made to be broken!!!
i try to keep these debates civil in most cases but only a cowardly piece of sh*t quotes half a sentence out of context.
