We are dying and since we are not "black" nor are we Hispanic Social Service (who said that had I was "not eligible" for help ... But if I were not a White person, they could "help" me)...
That is What Union County DSS told me...t
I do not judge people by skin color... bu, by their Actions... My ancestors worked the coal mines and Never "owned a Slave" ... do Not deserve all this BS... cannot even get but a bit over $20.00 per month "Food Stamps"...!!! (While I watch this "Very Large" Black woman in check-out in front of me with a buggy full of expensive "Junk Foods" and over $80.00 in fresh meat... she then "waddles out to her New Cadillac ... where is the "justice" in THAT, good Sir...???

My apologies for my "Rant" good Sir... you made many Valid points... but some of you "facts" are rather "biased"... And it was the Black s that were Burning things and committing "act of Violence" of late ... Like Charlottesville... they show up with materials for use to "ATTACK" others... they were not there to shout their objections and "peacefully" Protest...
They were there to Commit Violence...
That we object to, good Sir !!!!

We do Not like Racism of Any Type and these "so-called" Nazis... are not acceptable... The KKK has had very little "pull' (or Power) for many years... just a batch of "Red-Necks" spouting Hatred of non-whites... (they are nothing more than a "Lot of Hot Air" these days... (its the "Fringe-groups") that are a Danger...
... Our best wishes to you and yours good Sir Goat
(and you did state Many Valid points ...)

Yeah, poooooor little baby white males, some of their privilege has been taken away. Oh, the injustice of it all. How dare anyone try to reduce them to mere equality?

Dear Lady Debra... they Are many "privileged" white males ... we lived just above poverty through most of my life... now live even lower income... we were never "privileged"...(if not for disability (a bit over $500.00 per month would not even have utilities... lived without running water for over a year not that long ago... and had power cut off many times... and live on the cheaper foodstuffs that we can afford)
we do not like "hate-mongers" of Any skin color...

We feel that humans should treat others (regardless of race, religion, etc.) Equally... and there are many that see themselves and "Their Kind" a "superior" to others... sad but true...

Even the "Headlines" (from world papers (is now being "Censored")... and everyone crying "racism" everywhere in this country ... (Neo-Nazis are a bad thing... and after statements made by ANTIFA make them no better ... both groups should be under watch for possible "terrorist"-type activities.... this country has "issues"... we just sit in my corner (we are in poverty and dying... not much of all these Many "messes" will affect me by much)
Can I move to Canada...???

@Dr. Theda: Yours is a voice that needs to be heard. Racism is an ugly abhorrent practice that needs to be eradicated in all its forms. But too often truth likes yours gets glossed over by those who can't be bothered with the details when looking for explanations and solutions. It's a big reason why we now have a large orange asshole in the White House.

People throw around that "white privilege" moniker like it means we were all born with silver spoons in our mouths. That's bullshit as any one who ever lived on welfare in a poor neighbourhood with cockroaches running on the walls, eating cornmeal mush for dinner and cleaning toilets for a living can tell you. (Yeah, I was one of those "privileged" people.) Don't confuse not having to be subjected to racism as a barrier to opportunity as the same thing as somehow being "privileged". As Dr. Theda points out, NOT being a person of color has it's own distinct disadvantages as well when you are one of the economically disadvantaged.

I got out of it by working hard. I went to a local public urban University with a large minority student body. I worked a full-time job while in school and school and supporting my family. I graduated with a 3.96 GPA from the University. My skin color had nothing to do with that. That, and a strong LSAT score, helped me get into an Ivy League law school, from which I graduated cum laude. There was one other person from my law school class from my University. She was African-American.

My point is, there is more to being disadvantaged than just skin color. And its just as unjust, insensitive and racist to discount the experiences of those who are white and just as disadvantaged as minorities by telling them how "privileged" they are.

A very good point. I hate the idea that being white gets a person in the door but that is not what keeps you there. Success is always based on hard work and passion.
