we can use whatever word you want for privileges that white people have that African Americans do not have.
What would you like to call those privileges that come because of white skin?
Most people in my government look like me. Most people on TV look like me. Not my fault, not blaming anyone, and not saying WHY, just saying it is. And it is because I have white skin. What is the word you would like to use for this?
I'll have to continue later because I really have to go.
goodbye.

Again, it is not about the WHY
it is just a label for what IS
nobody is blaming anyone for anything.

The former would probably elicit more sympathy and support vs the latter which is accusatory and antagonistic and suggests intentional unfairness.
There is nothing accusatory or antagonistic nor is there anything about intentional unfairness in the thing that the words 'white privilege' is the current label for.
You are misunderstanding the meaning of the word.
I have white privilege. I am not accusing me of anything, or antagonizing me and I don't think I am intentionally unfair.
I wish I could explain this better.
Please believe me that you misunderstanding the label.
I have to go.

I didn't say WHY we have have more dating options.
I just said, we HAVE more dating options.
We also have more entrainment options that reflect our culture.
We also have more people control of the government that look like us.
This has nothing to do with WHY.
Just saying what is.

To call it "white advantage" suggests that the advantage is inherent to being white and not simply because of the current distribution of population.
White advantage or white privilege is not the about the WHY of the advantage. The why could be population, wealth concentration, power structures....any number of things or any number of combination of things. There is no inherent difference between the races, you are correct.
'white privilege' is just the name for the advantages (more dating choices, etc) that you and I have because we have white skin and would not have if we had dark skin, in this particular society.
Race is brought into it because it is a label for advantages that one race has over another race. that is what we are talking about, racial advantages/privileges in our society. It is just a label so we can talk about it.
There are other privileges, like male privilege. We can't leave the 'male' of the label because it is a label for the privileges males in this society have.

It's a (debatable) advantage but it's not privilige.
It is a fact that because you and I have white skin we have more dating options.
what should be the word for that?
we can use whatever word you want to use for the specific advantages that come only because of the color of our skin.
We can call it 'white advantage' if you like.
Most people use 'white privilege' but we just need a name for it so we can discuss it.
If we lived in a population where 85% were black / latino and 15% were white then would that alter whether I had advantage or privilege?
quite possibly yes, but not necessarily..

the point is you have more dating matches simply because you were born white.
that is just a privilege you have because you have white skin.
Doesn't matter why. (at this point...)
It just IS.
You and I have an advantage in this area (number of possible dating options) due to being white.
that is all white privilege is.

Pacopoolio: It seems pointless trying to argue that black people were discriminated against in the past. No one is arguing that they weren't. It's a pointless distraction that just confuses the dicsussion.
the topic of the conversation was not discrimintation, it was white privilege. Violia and I were talking about white privilege.
Restating arguements that have not been made and then shooting them down confuses the discussion.

actually Lisa I helped a black man ( minister ) eat at that diner ( at age 12-13 I was)and both of us were asked to leave and I was told I was not a proper Christian girl ( READ WHITE GIRL) and I could not come back. We were treated badly in the community, Lisa. You did not grow up there Lisa and know not of what I speak.
You are right, I did not grow up were you grew up.
But it is true that you were not asked to leave because of the color of your skin.
You were asked to leave because of the color of the black man's skin.

was - you do understand past tense right?
Talk about insulting.
Anyway, the post was about the past, and how in the past this poster said they did not have white privilege. so yeah, WAS.
