Yeah I’m a black woman who did my orthopaedic residency in south central LA and then later went to practice in Appalachia, and it totally aggravates me how the narrative has people so totally screwed up on how things really are. In six years that I treated countless gun shot injuries, not ONCE did I ever treat anyone shot by the police. And having seen the struggle of poor whites in Appalachia it pains me seeing how indoctrination has socially engineered these young people. People of the world don’t see how they are being played by the 0.1% of oligarchs who use a DIVIDE, DISTRACT, DISEMPOWER agenda. They want everyone to be lower class. They are just positioning themselves to steal the wealth from the upper middle class. They’ve almost wiped out the middle class. People are so naive.
(slams hands on table) THANK YOU. i don't care if you're black or not... as a White man, the fact that you recognize the truth means a lot to me. the fact that most people are blind to this is disheartening.
I understand divide and conquer, but are you saying that they are using the narrative that police are the problem....as opposed to poor people are hurting poor people. Thereby we don't focus on the real issues like wages and standards of living. I may be reaching too far here. Another question from the family, why mention police brutality and appalachian community... assuming its majority "white"? OAN, Were you aware that DURING the civil war and emancipation, petroleum oil was being discovered? It's reported to have started around Titusville, PA.
Yeah. They're sponges, just absorbing everything possible. And, everything possible, in this environment apparently suxs. If you're interested in facts.
My grandad worked the WV coal mines until he died of black lung. I was a UMW union member until I joined the military to get out of the mines. Completed by degree in between three combat deployments. Never took a vacation, drove the same truck for 12 years and paid for my daughter’s college on my own. PLEASE show me where my white privilege is because I was working too hard to find it.
Thank you, Sir, for having to be a real man. I know it is tough. I am white, middle-lower class, and have lived in my car for 8 years & 9 months in order to survive and get ahead...this made me a real man, too. It is not as easy as privileged would be. But, talking from the other side of my mouth, I can see I'm still privileged bc I'm white. I don't have governmental help, like minorities, but even a black store owner in a ghetto looks at me like he knows that I'm not likely to be a problem...that is white privilege.
So living in your car you consider yourself to be privileged even though you have nothing except your skin? While minorities get all these benefits based on skin color?
@@shep6610 That's not white privilege, that's called being civilised and the same consideration is shown to Asians and for the same reason. It's not a privilege to not steal, the whole white privilege racism is designed to take attention away from the criminality of black communities. They're not at fault for committing crimes, the problem is micro-aggressions, structural inequalities...white privilege.
@@shep6610 Your last example is not "white privilege's" it's the expected end result when an entire cultural & socio-economic group of people deliberately refuse to advance and do everything possible to degrade. And then wonder why other people, and they themselves, expect different attitudes and conforming to 'general society'. So you're acting like it's a privilege for people to expect you to have common courtesy, not steal, commit some crime or act out in some way that's negative. basically you're acting like a decent human being. That's not having a privilege, it's others acting poorly for an extended period of time and then complaining about the long term consequences of their actions when everyone, including members of that group, perceive them negatively. Being a decent human being and not trying to take advantage of someone and acting neutral or polite should be the norm, and if everyone did that it wouldn't been seen as unusual.
When I was lower enlisted in the USAF with 2 kids, I took custody of my 11 yr nephew. I applied for food stamps. I was denied, I was told, because I owned a Chevy Lumina minivan that I saved up for 2 years while overseas and paid half of it in cash. I was told to sell it for a junker and I'd qualify. I was the only white person in the assistance office. 3 months later, a black E7 (3 ranks above me) with a full size conversion van and 2 kids living in rent free base housing got food stamps. White privilege is bullshit and an excuse for not doing well.
That boy on stage is weak minded . They are all priveleged by being students at Penn frickin State . Intersectional marxist dogma being spewed from indoctrinated children .
That's not a "Privilege" it's just the standard default. Parents should be teaching you to work hard and treat others with fairness and basic respect. What's madness next? I'm "privileged" because I'm allowed to breathe air?
In history, did she completely forget about the subjugation of the Irish, German, and Sottish? Even white people have been oppressed in American history.
I grew up extremely poor. Raised by a divorced Mom who couldn’t afford to help me with college. My black friends, many of which had families with much more $ than my mother, were able to get significant financial aid based solely on their color. I even had a financial aid counselor hint to me to change my ethnicity on my application. I couldn’t do that. Finally, 12 years later, I qualified for loans and put myself through college. So it angers me that people say I have white privilege! Where is my “generational wealth?” Don’t I automatically get that since I’m white? 🙄🙄🙄
The whole thing against so called generational wealth is bullshit propaganda. Do they think that somehow wealth was just bequeathed to people out of the blue? The generations of my elders worked and slaved and suffered depri action in order to earn and save for their future generations. Handing down that wealth to their children with the hopes that they themselves will do the same. These fools seem to think that generational wealth is akin to welfare. Free money given out for nothing.
I wholeheartedly agree. There is no "white privilege", there is only the privilege and advantage that comes with wealth. Hence, those people with more money have more advantages and privileges than those that are poor. Privilege is not available due to a person's race. Privilege is all about money and available resources. I am a white female that grew up dirt poor in a rural southern town in the 1960s. We lived basically hand to mouth and sometimes did not know if we would have food the next day. My parents were hard working and trying hard to make ends meet. Unfortunately, my dad was injured badly on the job (healthcare insurance and workman's compensation were terrible back then), and our family suffered because of it. Our electricity and water were cut off so many times, and friends and family would give us money for rent and food just so that we wouldn't become homeless. So, I know what it means to lack the essentials of life...to be cold and hungry and thirsty, and have ragged clothes. For the longest time, I was ashamed of my roots, but I have come to realize that those times are what helped make me the person that I am today. I worked hard to get an education and become better off so that I would not have to live in poverty again. I paid for my own college education, and I along with my husband, who is retired military, have worked hard for everything that we have.
They'd rather bicker that they're marginally less privileged than the other privileged people instead of being greatful and making the most out of the privilege they have.
@@Bob-cx4ze Cuz being White is a crime now a days. Doesn't matter your situation in life, if you are White, you're Raycist and a evil bigot. This is the message of the main stream media, academia, movies, television, video games, and books. Targeting someone for their race is RAYCISM. The irony I guess is lost on them! I'm only mocking the word, cuz everyone throws it around now a days, and it's like the boy who cried wolf.
Yeah but they would tell you that that’s “white homelessness“ and somehow it’s better. Then they’d probably call you a racist for saying anything about it. Also, thank you for your service. You deserve better
The white chick is working class, the black chick is upper middle class. They both get arrested for the same crime. The white chick isn't able to bail out, the black chick is. The white chick gets a public defender, the black chick gets a lawyer. That is privilege.
@@RudeDogRanch you are completely missing the point of my statement. Black people who have privilege, are claiming they are oppressed by white people who have no privilege. That black girl, because of the status of her father, has more privilege than that white girl has. White privilege is a lie, perpetrated by the politicians, to divide us even more than we already are.
Oh, yeah, it's so over. These aren't the best and brightest those are at Yale in tents crapping in a large plastic bins. BTW you see how large that class always id because it's an obsession. No one learns in that class, no real class has a lecture hall that big. Victims 101, Scoring Jobs at Disney Victims 102 ( intersectional only)
This is being intentionally driven, there's a book titled The Deliberate Dumbing Down Of America, and it all began when the United States Department of Education took over what is taught in Public Education classrooms. Search for the book, get it, read it ..
Blows my mind that the black girl was sitting right next to a person from a "lower" socioeconomic area and she still couldn't say she has a more privileged life.. What a bloody joke these universities have become.
They aren't giving up any victim points for nothing. In 2024 being a victim pays. You could have all the proof in the world that a certain privilege is because of something other than skin color and it won't change their mind at all. What needs to stop is how this country is bending over backwards rewarding the fake victim points for them to just claim being a victim anyways.
~ Universities? They are propaganda factories. The Neocons/Globalists want weak minded, godless, product/service consuming drones that do not have the backbone to ever rebel. "The Pledge of Allegiance" will be replaced by "Please, Sir, may I have another?" The West (U.S./Eu) is disintegrating.
@@ashotofwhiskey219 When my son graduated with Physics degree, there was only one tenure track position available at the university. There was also only one black female in the class. Even though she wasn't the top of the class (that was Korean man), she got the job before the ink was dry on her diploma.
There is so much wrong with the modern discussion on race, gender and privilege. What’s worse is these toxic ideas have spread so far and most adults are beyond tired of the topic.
Watching this from Europe is astonishing. The way these American kids think is insane. "I've heard this from other races"? "What class are you"? These sentences don't even sound REAL to me
Imagine going into student debt and the only thing you get for it is a degree in this nonsense. You basically get an official document that shows everyone that you are very, very stupid and should never be employed by anyone...
As an American it doesn’t sound real to me either! It’s INSANITY, How deep the victim ideology is. It really is just a miracle that this professor can even speak on this & that in itself IS DANGEROUSLY INSANE. It’s a grrreat way to work ourselves right into a full Orwellian authoritarian society, which is THEIR MINDSET.. Not just the bloated rogue power of the 🇺🇸 government.
"The way these American kids think..." American here. You will think and believe what you have been taught to think and believe. Sadly, what you are seeing from these students, who seem to be far more rational/reachable than most, is only the tip of the iceberg. Decades of indoctrination and brainwashing are increasingly providing the desired result. I'm shocked that such a teacher exists in modern American academia. We need many more like him. Students should never be taught what to think, only how to think and the importance of fact finding what you're being told. All the best.
You would be surprised how many of them know it's all bull sh**. They just know that if they don't pretend to agree, they could have violence used against them, their grades could be effected, they could be socially outcast and attacked and nobody will protect them from it for fear of becoming the next target.
This professor apparently talks to a lot of young people. Hopefully, he will spark something so that even some of them will start thinking for themselves.
@@TinaRinka he tried; but they sound too far gone; it's irretrievable now; mass insanity. He confronted them with unassailable reality and they refuted it.
@@ghostwarrior0329 yes indeed; but justifiably right? I mean their positions were hollow and ridiculous - as the professor so gently and respectfully tried to coax them to realize.
As a senior citizen, I've totally lost track of all of the scholarships and jobs that I've lost out on in my lifetime solely because of my so called white privilege. Sadly, from what I'm seeing, it's only getting worse. Much worse. If things stay this way, that white girl too will soon learn this the hard way. I did not come from any kind of privileged background and have had to work and try extra hard to get everything that has come my way. No privilege about it!
~ REMEMBER ~ He works at this university. This means HE TOO must dish out this BS, as according to university standards (now). In this, he was providing a "devil's advocate" approach, from the other side of the coin. After the exercise? He went back to poisoning minds. He went into becoming another cog that grinds & meshes, because the university administration DOES review the 'teaching plan' portfolio, seeing what was taught that day & it BETTER, each day & every day include the language, theory, & theme of the 'woke'/anti-straight, anti-white, anti-middle class, anti-God, anti-marriage, etc. doctrine. That or the professor is fire & replaced in a day.
@@chrismarsden8958 It should be obvious that claiming whites are naturally prejudice and racist, in this society with the many civil rights laws in place, is simply race baiting in itself.
@@Clevercat4 BAM freaking scary You nailed it. And your last 3 words, I believe this to be currently in action as this is another fine demonstration of the example of the "reprobate" mind which was promised.
I kind of agree with you but I think it's for a different reason I think they are scared to step outside of the political line and voice their true opinions. They have to go to school with all of these students and bear the consequences of daring to say "I am white and I am not that privileged".
I have 2 personal examples that contradict "white privilege." 1) In the early 2000's I took the civil service exam to try and get on the fire department. At that point I had 2 years experience working as an EMT and I scored a 93 on the exam. When the results were posted I was shocked to see that they had listed all the minorities and women at the top and all the white males at the bottom. Needless to say I never even got a phone call for an interview. 2) Around 2010 I was laid off from my job. I called the local housing department to see if I was eligible for renters assistance or anything like that. The woman on the phone asked me two questions, "Are you a single parent or are you a minority?" I answered no to both and she said there's nothing they can do to help me. I asked "what if I answered yes to one of the questions?" She said then we could start filling out the application for assistance.
Same thing applies in getting State Jobs. My state used to give, I believe, 15 points to Hispanics & 20 points to Blacks in addition to whatever they earned on the simple clerical test required to be hired for the agency I worked for. I had to take it several times (there were several versions of the test). The lowest I ever made was 94 - usually averaged 97, 98. It just was NOT a difficult exam!!!
His question to her should be: "what advice would she give to all those 40 million poor white people so that they can cash in on their white privilege? What should they do?"
I don't think he would get a good answer out of her either way. Like what would a kid in the upper middle class still in school know about being poor? The point is to make her think about it and highlight the absurdity of the notion of the inherent privilege of skin color. She wasn't fully convinced at that point however because her idea of the white privilege is a bit more nuanced. Like she believes that given equal opportunities (no class/wealth differences), a white person would be treated better than a POC. Like just hanging around in front of your lawn in a suburban neighborhood: how likely is someone going to call the cops on you? Would the cops listen to you/let you go? Her personal example was about being the one people approach instead of her friends because her skin color is a little lighter (bless her; it was probably her only real life experience she can draw an example from)
My parents taught me that no matter how dumb I am, no matter how many times I get knocked down, no matter who judges me or picks on me for being poor or odd, the only way I can fail is to stop getting back up every time I get knocked down. That is a privilege, but it has zero to do with skin tone.
Privilege is getting a job over someone with more experience because of the color of your skin. Privilege is getting accepted into a college over someone because of your race. Privilege is getting a curve on entrance exams because of the color of your skin. You should be judged on your ability NOT race or skin color.
Absolutely! It’s only common sense. Why that’s so difficult I don’t understand. Same with business. Anyone with half a brain can understand you hire the most qualified person for the job regardless of anything else.
I agree, but here's the big problem. If things were done the correct way, as you have described, it would soon become apparent that there are great differences in intelligence and ability between the races. The "all men are created equal" crowd doesn't like to be confronted by that fact. Anyone who honestly believes that all men are equal is a fool.
@@Richard-f7q Equality is a rather new idea that comes mostly from the Puritans who settled the Northeast who taught that, although no one was equal in reality, we were all "Made in the image of God" (the imago Dei) which is why it remains the bastion of Egalitarianism today, but it was ALWAYS a religious concept with no basis in reality. No one is equal in almost every way: no one is equal in strength, height, intellect, wealth, beauty, or any other factor. We all have either great or miniscule differences but we are all different in every way. No one is equal in anything, unless you "round" the decimal points. Equality is a cult like belief, often used to justify democratic/republican systems of government. "Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison." ― C.S. Lewis "[Voltaire] theoretically prefers a republic, but he knows its flaws: it permits factions which, if they do not bring on civil war, at least destroy national unity; it is suited only to small states protected by geographic situation, and as yet unspoiled and untorn with wealth; in general "men are rarely worthy to govern themselves." Republics are transient at best; they are the first form of society, arising from the union of families; the American Indians lived in tribal republics, and Africa is full of such democracies. but differentiation of economic status puts an end to these egalitarian governments; and differentiation is the inevitable accompaniment of development.” ― Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy Quite prophetic, as America was only a few inches away from a bullet starting another civil war just a few days ago.
All men are only equal to a certain perception. Equal to breath in the same air, to eat food, drink, sleep, piss, shit. You know, having similar issues with a humanoid body that must be taken care of or die. But not equal when it comes to intelligence, capabilities, social behavior etc.
I am a white woman. Raised by a single mom. My father was in my life every once in a while. We didn’t have much at all. I wore dollar store shoes and clothes. I was absolutely NOT privileged one bit. Just having TV was a privilege. We got assistance for school supplies. Shopped for clothes at Goodwill 🤷🏼♀️ I CHOSE to be the person I am today. WHITE PRIVILEGE did not come save me! This whole thing about race is ALL PLANNED. The government wants us to hate each other. Simply because if we ALL STOOD UP against the craziness of America’s government TOGETHER they wouldn’t be able to stop us. Please just stop with the privilege stuff! We all bleed the same. We need to come together for the good of all of us and stand against the race baiting. Love each other. That’s the easiest way to say it.
Wealth is the only privilege. It doesn't matter if you're white or black. If you have money, people will be nice to you and will suck up to you and you will get opportunities and your life will be easy. If you're poor, white or black, your life will be hard, no one will give you the time of day, no one will care. Race is irrelevant. It's just a tool the elites use to divide us and keep us at eachother's' throats so that we don't realise they're our real enemy, not the people who look differently from us.
I have been saying the same thing for years. My grandparents raised me. When I tried to go to college, I was denied financial aid because my grandparents' social security was $approximately $100 above the limit. We did not receive any welfare at all, only their SS income. White privilege? What a joke.
I recently retired at 57. I am brown. There were approximately 500 people in my part of company. All the management team cared was whether a person was qualified and capable of doing the job. The executive managers were of numerous ethnicities and genders. It sad to think people are starting their young careers believing they less than or disadvantaged than others. Do the work and good things usually happen. It’s not guaranteed, but I have seen that formula work over my career. This video was helpful to me to understand why people are thinking this way. Don’t drink the kool aid! 🤙🏽
Privilege is becoming a moot point. It all comes down to CHARACTER. My Italian grandmother forbade my dad and his siblings from wearing black clothes in Duluth MN predominantly white neighborhood because they didn’t want to be associated with the mafia. Italians were also lynched alongside blacks in our very recent history. Considered white by some, non-white by others. I Was terribly picked on for my strange hairy looks by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed population. I had girls say that with my frizzy hair, there’s no way I would be able to make the choir. They wouldnt’ be fiends with me. My family wasn’t well off, we almost moved to a trailer park. This made me angry and instead of being a victim, I made other more worthy friends. I went on to be the first in my family to get a degree on the Italian side. I’m now far more successful and intelligent than those narrow-minded privileged girls were. Those girls who had everything literally handed to them with their privilege have very boring and mundane lives. Many of them ended up in poverty and into drugs. So what does that tell you? CHARACTER and MENTALITY trumps PRIVILEGE. You see what you want to see. I could pay attention to all the ways I’ve missed opportunities because of XYZ. Or I could think about how blessed I’ve been with the privileges that I have enjoyed. We all have advantages if we really pay attention.
Apparently "white privilege" skipped my area of West Virginia while I was growing up in the 70s & 80s. My parents divorced when I was 6. My mom raised 3 of us an a single income with no help from child support. She made a few dollars too much to qualify for any kind of assistance. She couldn't keep the heating and electricity paid, which made winter a lot of fun. Water pipes and toilet froze every year. We would be huddled under piles of blankets trying to keep warm. We knew that none of us were going to college because we couldn't afford it. We survived on school lunch and a hamburger for supper if we were lucky. I started working at least 20 hours a week at age 15 to help buy things that I needed and help out the family. Don't try selling me on white privilege. It's bs.
My mom lived in a cement home with bad air conditioning that barely worked, barely enough food, never went out, was abused, worked nearly minimum wage for years and has worked every year alive since she was 16 And many black people then where she lived had it a decent bit better, considering it’s such a lowball
Blacks have every opportunity as anybody else. In fact they will get opportunity before a white person. Some don't try to get ahead. Poor white kids has pulled themselves out of what they were brought up in
Too bad this didnt apply to your family--for help "Affirmative action is a policy initiative in which a person's nationality, sex, religion, and caste are taken into account by a company or a government organization to extend employment or education opportunities"
My white privilege growing up in a black ghetto was getting attacked regularly just for being a white boy (even though most my family is off the boat Italian). I was turned down for jobs I was more qualified for because of racial/gender quotas. Every other color kid was allowed to be proud vocally of their heritage, but I was wrong if I was proud to be who I am. What I learned early from the ghetto, my best friend who was black, used to get picked on by other black kids for HAVING A FATHER AND MOTHER AT HOME. They called him "soft" or "uncle Tom" among other things. Watching that made me realize, it just sucks for EVERYBODY in the ghetto, and the real privilege is GREEN privilege. The other part of my "white" privilege is Irish/Scottish. Please research how privileged those "white" people have been through the years.
Same as me, first generation Italian. Grew up in Boston, got my butt kicked (I'm female), saw my teachers give preferential treatment to my black classmates, I honestly think they were afraid for a few reasons. Black kids got free lunches, lived in free housing, wore very nice clothes, I was 12 the first time I got a brand new pair of jeans. There were times when my dad was working 3 jobs at once.
I remember growing up in elementary school in the city and being constantly picked on and beat up. I wanted to fit in and everyone was wearing Nike Airs so, I finally convinced my mom to get me a pair of Nike Airs. The next day, I got knocked down and made fun of and they took my shoes off my feet because the only Nike Airs my mom could find at the thrift store were orange and orange was the wrong color, apparently. I think that's one of the days that I gave up a bit more on life.
I’m 54, white, a biological woman, and I don’t have “white privilege.” My mom, who was a single mom, made sure that we (my younger sister and myself) knew that the only way we would get anywhere in life is hard work. Just because I’m white doesn’t mean a damn thing. I’m so damn sick and tired of hearing “white privilege this,” and “white privilege that,” because the majority of white Americans NEVER had any privileges. This wasn’t a “thing” until Obama got into office. The Dems, the RINO traitors, the Left, the Libs, and the MSM push this “white privilege” in order to keep the divide going. The Dems, the RINO traitors, the elites, the Left, and the MSM are SCARED since many black and brown Americans are waking up, and they’re realizing that they’ve been lied to for the past 50+ years! Trump 2024!!!!!
I'm not a Dem, lib nor progressive. This said, Trump will continue to raid the US treasury for himself and family. He is a vile, immoral and super privileged person and shouldn't be a leader of any party. He has more respect for dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un than he has for John McCain, Liz Cheney, the Bush's or Reagan. Seriously . . . . this is your idea of a leader? He has had more lawsuits brought against him throughout his life than all past US Presidents put together. What does this say? (BTW...who is paying for all his legal woes and Melania's haircuts?? You and others of course. Shouldn't your money be used for an election campaign and not his lawyers and stylists?)
I grew up with both parents, but that just meant they were both there to beat, abuse, and torture me. I fail to see the privilege in never having enough money for food and the trauma I live with daily. But I won't vote for criminals that want to violate my human rights, per the UN & WHO.
@jacqslabz you won't vote for 'criminals who want to steal your rights'... this is your argument against Trump?? What rights is he trying to take away from you? Who is it that's pushing anti gun laws? Who is responsible for the infringement on free speech and free press? Was it Trump that opened our country to 10's of millions of poor immigrants who get free housing and welfare? You should read about what Trump did for the veterans while in office. You should read about the job availability and the GDP. You might not like him but Trump UNAPOLOGETICALLY prioritizes US citizens and our economy. He's not interested in war profits because he doesn't treat our soldiers like they're an expendable resource. He's not interested in foreign relations because he's tired of watching America drown in debt from always being involved in some other country's bs.
I'm privileged because I am alive at 54.. my brother died at 25.. I'm also female, white, Welsh and working class.. this white privilege crap is just that.. crap.. grow up..
I am 44 and considered a Gen X'er. I remember being taught and not only school, but our television programs for children not to judge another by the color of their skin but by their character of their being. There was a whole generation of us raised like that. I find it disturbing that it is taking a reverse turn and is increasing the division of the races in the public educational systems and children's television programming. These current college students don't know this. Nor do the understand that they are perpetuating what they consider a problem. That of racism and superiority complexes.
I'm 44 as well - and I have to absolutely concur with you about the way our generation was taught. It is infuriating the way today’s main stream media has become a peremptory global mouthpiece that is filled with reckless half-truths that are purposefully sensationalized to misrepresent factual details into biased directives. This causes a lot of misconstrued information that both disguises and exaggerates problematic controversy’s that incites strife and provocations. I’m glad that there’s people out there concerned about racism in culture and have their antenna perked for possible inequalities creeping into culture, and I try to be on guard for that as well. But this is an instance where misunderstanding and downright ignorance is causing collateral damage and unnecessary conflict where there just doesn’t need to be. Fighting racism with racism only means that there’s racism still to be fought and it saddens me the way this generation is clawing back all the ground that our country has fought so hard for. Watching this professor in action was an incredible breath of fresh air, as there are far too many Universities that are indoctrinating under the guise of educating. The ability to think critically, logically and rigorously is one the best skill sets anyone could ever be taught to have, and I'm sure this professor will prove to be an extraordinary asset in the lives of his students.
Hell, I'm 31 and I remember that... Don't judge a book by its cover education. Then again, I joined the Marine Corps and was surrounded by my multiracial brothers and sisters instead of going to College in my younger years and being indoctrinated with political propoganda. It's ironic when the Military used to be the ones said to be "Indoctrinated".
I find it crazy how hard blacks faught to end segregation in schools and bathrooms and bus's... and now we have blacks fighting hard to ensure they have segregated dorms and colleges and areas where white cannot enter. How sad their ancestors must be.
I worked construction on a county contract in a 90% black area. The company on the contract was told, "We want to see more black faces instead." and they revoked the contract. I lost my job, and got a job working minumum wage loading bags at an airport. I started doing self IT study. I got an entry level IT job making $13 an hour. Worked my way up there for 3 years. Got a better position after that, and after a few years there once the IT manager retired, I had built up the trust of the managers, and they made me the IT manager. I'm not wealthy, but I'm finally middle class with no college education. Everyone faces difficulties. Pick yourself up and work your butt off. I don't care what your skin looks like. If you can work, I want you beside me.
You could see the girl in the middle struggling to find a way to say she doesn't want to be a poor white person without admitting her white privilege thing is BS.
Including the privilege society grants of thinking anything bad that happens to you is because of 'racism', despite the fact that the exact same things happen to white people.
I think it's both sad and comical that this professor is using subtle mockery to try and educate or put in question their prior indoctrination and they're completely missing the point and still can't see the stupidity in their arguments.
It makes me mad the arrogance of this argument, there are homeless people blatantly being ignored and their privledged race doesn't benefit them in anyway, people ignore them as if they are already dead, a ghost
I can confirm this. When I let my beard grow out all bushy and put on sweatpants and a hoodie, I get treated vastly different than if I trimmed up and put on a nice ironed collared shirt. I encourage everyone to try it. It works no matter what color you are.
Pretty privilege can also involve skin color though. For example most dark skin black women aren’t considered pretty in the USA so it would be hard for them to have pretty privilege. While in some African nation they would be all the rage. So privilege can definitely involve skin color
Thats because kids are given a pass anymore, not held accountable or responsible by the states or parents. They are brainwashed into what to think, not how to think.
My great grandfather grew up in a house with no floors, he had no shoes when it was time for him to go to school. Upon becoming 18 he went to war, when he came back he didn’t have enough money to feed himself. When my great grandparents married they went through their fair share of struggle, and it was particularly hard in The beginning of their marriage (Great Depression). He worked 5 jobs at one point to keep his family fed. Including maintaining his farm. I was lucky enough to know him, and my great grandma. She died when I was 10, he died when I was 19. He was born in 1913, he was white. I am white. The privilege I’ve obtained is from his sacrifices, and the sacrifices of my other great grandparents, and grandparents. He kept his family together, praised god, worked his hands bloody, and never complained. My privilege is family privilege. Don’t put that on a skin color because I KNOW there is a black great grandpa out there who was just like mine, and his family is lucky he’s in their line.
My grandparents were born in 1909 and 1907. They had 7 children, my father is next to the youngest. They lived in a 4 room house with no running water or bathroom until my dad was 6 or so. My grandfather made it to 9th grade, grandmother to 3rd or 4th. My grandmother had to quit school because of her 12 younger siblings. All my aunts and uncles worked hard. Some went to college, others not. My grandfather delivered newspapers for a living, my father and uncles had to get up at 4 am on school days to deliver newspapers. My other grandparents were dirt poor also but by the time they died, they were millionaires.
It's insane. Not to mention that these people that spend most of their lives thinking this way and being resentful are extremely privledged themselves to be living in the U.S.A where you can make a good life for yourself if you put the work in and CHOOSE to
They have been brainwashed to believe this lie and so many others, like being on time is racist so as to control and divide. People can no longer critically think. Most are poorly educated in the critical skills…reading, writing, speaking, history, math, science etc. HOWEVER, so many are indoctrinated into the Socialist/Marxist agenda.
My experience is the same. I worked my butt off for decades. I'm still not rich, but lower middle class. Tis amazing to me that choices and determination are defined as privilege.
I am a poor, working, white. My father's earliest memory is picking cotton in the fields in Southern Arkansas. I am 1 generation off the cotton patch. Guess thats my "white privilege "😂
YES THIS. My white grandmother grew up in Vernon, Alabama PICKING COTTON with her 5 siblings just so they could survive. They rarely went to school because instead theyhad to be working picking cotton. My grandma and her 5 siblings along with their mother and father all lived in a TINY 1 ROOM SHACK. They are all as white as white can be, and this was back during the time when if there was any white privilege to be had, they would have had it, but alas, they did NOT. I was then raised by my grandma and grandpa and we were middle/working class until my grandpa died when I was 13 and me and my grandma became very lower class after that. I have never been given ANY type of advantage for my skin color. I would get followed in stores always, because it was obvious I was poor. THE ONLY PRIVILEGE IN THIS COUNTRY IS WEALTHY PRIVILEGE.
Exactly. I’m third generation out from the anthracite mines in Pennsylvania. My grandfather died from black lung, my mother was second generation out and a housewife. I’m third gen and also a housewife who had to also keep a full time job so that my family could afford to eat and pay rent. On my dad’s side they were farmers from the Philly area and they lost their farm to “progress” and my grandfather ended up having to take a factor job to survive. My dad was a long haul, hazardous waste trucker and died from lung cancer from the Anhydrous ammonia inhalation. By siblings ended up working in a meat packing plant for 35 years and being in the army for 20 years and then working at Cheyanne Mountain for 20 years. Now I’m disabled and my elderly mother lives with me. We survive on social security. The privilege in my life is insanely obvious isn’t it???
@supermankent1041 bruh, im black myself. If I were in that black girls shoes, I'd be privileged af, but instead, I'm reliant on financial aid and working every day to be able to continue going to school, because no one else in my family can afford to help me. I pay for rent, I bought my own used car, I pay for everything I have, when I times are rough I look in the mirror and say "you got this".

When someone answers a question with "it's intersectional", that really means "my original point has no validity so, I'm gonna talk about other stuff instead"
I actually think her response was a valid way one could think about it, although I don't fully agree. What she meant by intersectionality was presumably how we live in different layers of privilege and backgrounds. This means you can reap the benefits of being financially privileged but, at the same time, not privileged in other layers like experiencing childhood with both parents, for example, or face possibly higher instances of negative prejudice and such from the color of your skin. Again, not that I fully agree, but it does make sense, especially compare to the other two spouting pretty much stupid shit.
This man is a teacher! Teachers make you think! They allow you to put yourself in different points of view and see things from multiple points of view, not just one. Well done Sir!
My nephew made a 34 on the ACT. He was raised by a teacher and a cop. He was offered a couple of scholarships to state schools but would still have a few things to cover out of pocket. His good friend was black. His friend's parents were Nigerian. Both were physicians. He made a 32 on his ACT. He was offered full ride scholarships to Yale and Harvard. "Unconscious bias" at it's absolute best. The student with the lower score gets better offers to Ivy league schools because the box checked black/brown on his application when in reality the boy with the higher scores but had the white box checked came from less ability to pay for school than the black boy. My nephew went to the state school, graduated, got another scholarship and got his advanced degree. He is currently living a great life. I'm sure his friend is too. Both were extremely intelligent and hard workers. I'm 57 and race relations feel the worst they've been in my lifetime. I think we should really try to go back to trying to look at and judge people on their actions and character not on the color of their skin. Also, I think we all should stop feeling guilty about the color of our skin, no matter what it is. It worked before, maybe it can work again.
Well said. My opinion: the only reason it's "not working" now is because the powers that be don't want it to. There's an agenda and "they" need us divided as possible in order for it to work. Btw racism in the past had its up and downs too and the majority of it was reinforced by politicians for whatever reason.
I don't feel guilty about being born and not should anyone else. They had no say in it and the same goes for the colour of their skin. Hair can be died.
The worst part about that is its putting minorities in a bad spot. Think of it like this. Black man, being given extra credit for just being black, is accepted into harvard. This black man is smart, but not "harvard" smart, like A LOT of every person. He fails, and now is disheartened that he doesnt have what it takes. ALL THAT HAPPENED was he was put somewhere where he either wasnt ready to be or couldnt be effective within. DEI and its ILK are horrendous for non white cultures.
Well guess what you three. Its never gonna go back to judging by character. Did you 3 forget that it is racist to say all lives matter? You 3 are considered racist because you don't acknowledge their skin color. That is where it's at and where it will stay. When you are considered racist because you deny a expired coupon, and get investigated by HR and give them free stuff and my job was put on the line for explaining that we longer accept that said coupon I'm racist? So I'm racist for doing my job now? That's where it's at and wh
Scary stuff! 😱 lol These kids go to school and get brainwashed. They all believe the same thing and yet none of them could make a single valid point to support their position. I appreciate what this professor is trying to do
These suspects are shockingly ineloquent. I thought Penn State was supposed to be a decent university..The verbal judo they are engaging in to try to provide a politically correct answer would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
None of these places are prestigious or worth while, once the “everyone needs to go to college” and Marxist doctrine set in. Most of the courses are nothing more than a money pit for progressive ideology…
The fact those kids are even enrolled and sitting in that room, is more "privilege" than 90% of the population. I really hope these kids learn how real life actually is.
College is for 🐑 🐏 Learn skilled trades. Be your own BOSS$¢ And most importantly don't be scared to get your hands dirty. All it takes is a lot of hard work and some blood, sweat and tears. Anyone can make 💰💰💰 if they put in the work$¢
Grandpa was a sharecrooper. Took college courses to become a better farmer. Learned more and became a mechanic. Raised 4 kids. All went to college, no scholarships. All did well. Hard work, drive, having goals did it.
i feel like this professor is struggling to make them think critically while also trying to prevent from being fired and having his life destroyed by the BLM type.
@@cheeeeezewizzz idk. I thank God I was born in the USA where women are not subjected to female genital mutilation and are allowed to get an education along side men. We have electricity, running water, indoor plumbing. (this is not universal on all continents.) We are allowed to be Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist, Hindu or nothing at all. We are free to travel from state to state and county to county without any application or documentation (this is also not universal in all countries)...I think I am quite privileged. And none of that has anything to do with my skin color.
@@cheeeeezewizzzwrong!!!! It is not the same being a high school dropout in the USA than in India, Africa, Mexico, etc. Here you have job opportunities anywhere, just get on a highway amd see that lots of companies are hiring. Now if hired this person makes 10 times the money a guy in Mexico will make for the same job. So yes you are blessed and privileged for being born in the USA. Just thank God and make the best out of it. That is why you see immigrants coming with hunger for work, you see Asians get rich, you see other nationalities advancing faster. Is because they see rewards after working your rear end harder!!!
Mabe,money matters. Of course if you don't have enough money to eat... It doesnt make you very happy. But i think that beeing raised in a caring and loving family with a father a mother and siblings is a more significative privilege... Than having money. With less money you learn to value things that are more important in life.
This is true. I consider myself extremely privileged that I came from a good family. My father worked very hard and my mother was an incredible housewife. They did everything right and I benefited greatly from this. However, this whole “white privilege” thing is basically a made up narrative that lazy people use as an excuse for their own failures. It helps to absolve them of any accountability.
@@suzybearheart530Actually, you are 100% correct. I grew up poor and in a broken family, so I guess I hadn’t even considered that. It would be better to be poor in a healthy two parent family, than rich in a broken family. Thank you for pointing that out to me.
The point is that it never has to be defined, because if they define it in a practical way it can be debunked. It's far stronger as an abstract concept that appeals to people's self pity, self righteousness, and envy.
everything others have they believe they deserve without any effort. All regimes at all times have lazies like this. They just gave it a new name, that's all. Plus the issue that in the west civilization built by white men with white women supporting them, those lazies don't starve even when not contributing by anything. That gives them the wrong idea that is how life is meant to be.
nah, privilege can do with whatever. Being white you have a privilege to have a skin cancer. Being a child of your parents you have a privilege for their inheritance. It's so "intersectional", that you can invent a new one based on any difference between people.
There's no such thing as privilege. It's either advantage or disadvantage. For example, if I'm 7 get y'all and athletic, I have an advantage at most sports over someone who's 5 for y'all and not athletic. Privilege is a marketing word to create resentment. We should stop using it.
My god these kids today are brainwashed. Thanks Internet. Bravo to this teacher for trying to salvage what's left of Gen Z. Surprised he hasn't lost job.
I learned several trades via Pell Grants. You don't have to go to some expensive school to get ahead in life. Learn a trade that is in demand, and you'll always have means to earn a living.
I’m white. My dad worked 3 jobs at one point, and my mom worked as well. I started working when I was 15 to help out. I was the youngest of 4. We rarely got new things but we didn’t really think about that. We had music in our house and we loved each other. I would rather my dad and mom work less than have more things. I learned my work ethic from my parents. College students in general are all pretty darned privileged. I could not afford to go to college and work full time. Let’s face it, in general, if we live in the USA we are all pretty darned privileged.
Same here but it was me after getting out of the Military that had to work 3-4 jobs to keep the bills paid. Grew up the same way, thrift store clothes, toys and games, at one point was so bad, we almost lost the house and only got by because of the generosity of others assisting with food. Eating out was non-existent as was theme parks, carnivals, records/tapes, and movies. A $0.30 burger once every 6months was the highlight of the year.
The FBI provides free crime stats for the entire country, broken down just about any way you can imagine. Their data comes from all law enforcement agencies. It goes back to the 1980s or possibly the 1970s. Certainly worth checking out for fact checking.
In discussions with black friends, when Ive asked them for examples of racism theyve experienced....for one, the example was either a stereotypical vicarious experience that theyve never personally experienced, or the examples are nothing that every other race...including myself have also experienced. "The police pulled me over for no reason!" Ohhh, WOW, they do the same to me as well....I was just pulled over recently for allegedly making an illegal turn....I never turned, I drove straight through a green light, straight across the cross street, straight down the street, I hadnt turned for a LONG time. They asked me to get out of my truck, where am I going, what do I do. When I politely told the officer I had never turned, he immediately told me my brake light was out.....which I hadnt touched until he was already pulling me over and THEN he saw I had a brake light out. "well I came from a poor family"....Huh, are you poor now? No! Why not? Because I worked hard. Well how did you get the opportunities if its so racist...You work for a white guy right? Yes. Well, my parents lived in a garage and had to take a $500 loan out when I was born to pay for the hospital (YES, in 1970, the cost was $500), and it took them years to pay it off until my sister came along and they had to get another loan. My parents couldnt buy me a car....Okay, neither could mine. My parents couldnt afford college for me...Okay, neither could mine, they wouldnt even pay for me to take the SAT test because there was no point. One example after another....I could relate to and even had experiences that they havent. One side of my family was dirt poor uneducated hillbillies from the Appalachians, born is the shacks they lived in, the other were poor ranchers that lost their land to the state to put in a railroad....such privaledge.
These self proclaimed victims mistake someone being an asshole to them for racist behavior. I've never heard one mlack person be able to articulate a specific case of racism ever.
I would feel absolutely horrible and racist if I sat next to a black person and said that I was more privileged because of my skin color. I can’t believe they can’t hear it…
the people following this narrative don't realize how egotistical it is and how racist it is to consider yourself better in any way due to skin color...
I get SO TIRED of hearing Lazy Gen Z and Millennials talk about things they have NO CLUE. Minority students have ALWAYS been given MORE than white students. I watched them Bus black students into my Junior High in 1979. My High School was a model school at the time, they sat kids from urban areas Downtown next to white kids thinking it would somehow make them SMARTER. The black kids never got better but the white students test scores started going DOWN every year. I graduated in 1983 and by 1985 the school had more expelled students and drop outs than they had ever had in the previous 25 years the school was open. Liberals at the time whined they needed to give minority student MORE hand outs, free lunches, books, pay for their supplies and basically hand them everything because they were so deprived. By 1990 they school budget DOUBLED and yet the Test scores nor the drop out rates NEVER got better. By 1996 they had to close the school reopen it as a split middle school and high school and today its one of the worst schools in the district. Being one of the few Native Americans in my state I could have been handed a college scholarship but after talking to my mother we felt that since I didn't grow up on a Reservation or have connections with my Tribe in Texas it wouldn't be right so I worked full time and my parents made up the rest for me to go to college. Today it makes me feel like a chump for not taking advantage of the system the way todays over indulged CHILDREN now going to college for worthless degrees do. In the past 40 years I watched people being given jobs because of their skin color and nothing else, I have NEVER seen a person be given a job because they were WHITE.....
I feel bad that you didn't take the opportunities that were there but I understand where you're coming from. Hindsight Tilly's 2020 but yeah in this life is giving any opportunity whatsoever take it don't think twice about it!.
I grew up dirt poor. When i was in highschool, I had the opportunity to get a scholarship based off my art. And my own father made sure that didn't happen. On top of that I'm a single mother with mental and emotional problems. I've had cops kick my door in and tackle me, taze me, and arrest me because I was suicidal at the lowest point of my life. I have a hard time getting and keeping a job. Because many jobs dont want a worker who constantly has to take off because they have kids and no help, (not for a lack of asking). So to this conversation I say, what priveledge? If I had any kind of privilege free at my fingertips I would waste no time in taking advantage of that and actually get somewhere in life. I would not be where I am now. 😅 js
Back in 1974 my husband decided to work on his masters. We live in a city with a Tier One University. But the tuition with a wife and young daughter had him going to the student loan off office. He was handed forms to fill out that included he check the right boxes. The question he had trouble with was the correct category of race and ethnicity he fell under. There were about twelve choices like Native American, African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, etc….the last choice was Other. He was confused because he did not know what box he should check so he walked up to the office staff and told them he could not find a category for him. They looked at him, noting he was a Caucasian male and said, “Oh, you’re an Other.” He asked what that meant. This was their response, “It means you have to pay the loan back.” True story.
Kids, you have the power to create your own opportunities. I grew up in the inner city of Cleveland and attended CPS, a school system that faced many challenges. But I learned that if you can read, study, and put in the effort, you can succeed in America. My grandparents, who never finished high school, ended up retiring comfortably. My family always instilled in me the belief that we can achieve anything in this country. I never let our financial situation make me feel inferior because I was taught to "keep your chin up and overcome obstacles." Your self-respect and pride are yours to protect. Today, my children are doing even better than I did because I passed on those same values. Remember, only you can allow others to bring you down. Don’t see yourself as a victim; instead, be a gladiator.
If you're white , black, or any where in between, get a job, give 100%, and a little extra, which means showing up early and leaving late. Make yourself indispenseable. Never say "That's not my job". Look to improve your education, and take training sessions. and when opportunity knocks take a chance.
I was a white working class kid who became a lawyer (Notre Dame Law School, 82 cum laude). When I got my first job as a lawyer a senior attorney pulled me aside and said, "pinpoint oxford shirts, silk ties, wool suits, and keep your shoes shined." Good advice. Hell, they should have taught that in Law School. BTW, my shoes were shined - I was an Army veteran. I had one out of four.
~ 1980s! Then you were one of the (then) many who lived through the coolest era since the "Roaring" 1920s. No matter how horrific this performance-art USA/EU becomes ... you KNOW what reality is, & with awareness & understanding, there are certain scars worth bearing, each like a badge of honour.
What means HAVE anyway? More money ? - it's always nice to have more to spent, than before. Better family structure ? - 2 parents, no fights, illnesses or criminal records anywhere (has nothing to do with skin color - just a great family, back to great grandparents. Having a healthy body or a quick brain ? - lucky you, great anchestry (but you can THAT only pass to your children, not to poor people that are lacking in that departments). The privilege is being born in the USA, regardless of any skin color (you could become pesident there)

The 1 kid just basically said "You might be poor and have nothing but at least you're white"... So they think that privilege is not gaining anything but just being.
She's clearly more comfortable in the position of an underprivileged victim, it must be hard to let go of it and embrace reality. All of a sudden nobody is commiserating you, no sympathy, no pity, nothing. Almost like those 40 million poor white people, except at least she has money and her fucking Honda sedan
I need an examples of white privilege that these people are talking about. I am clueless about this subject. I grew up poor and that does not have any privileges.
Ditto, I fail to see where my privilege is.. we still have to rent, can barely afford to put money away to save for a house, etc... I was always looked down upon because I didn't talk, so I'm too stupid to talk to, etc... where is my privilege? Why haven't I seen any privilege?
It could mean the willingness of others to help you succeed. For example, my group of friends saw the same high school counselor, and we were all encouraged to apply for college, all except my Black friend. We told our friend to bring it up, and he did, and the counselor suddenly was helpful. But, he had to mention it in order to receive the guidance. Funny, he was the only one who actually went to college. I'm doing really well without college, and I'm grateful. I don't see or know how much of my success is from the privilege of my appearance, but how could I?
@@Labrynthetic I think I've figured this whole thing out now. White privilege is the only privilege that isn't a privilege. It's the fact we have fewer inherent disadvantages from skin color than several other races, mostly just due to the fact we are the majority of the population in the area. All of the examples they gave "white people are willing to talk to me more" or "white people don't get followed around in stores as often" are only applicable when everyone in the vicinity is white. I bet you black people find her more approachable than a white person. I bet you in a shop with black staff she isn't followed around. Out of all the inherent privileges in life, id take any other one over being white skinned. Having generational wealth, having handsome or beautiful genetics, having the voice of a singer or voice actor, having important connections, having a family member that owns a business, being tall, being able to get jobs and scholarships easier due to having brown or black skin, having good eye sight, having good health, higher than average IQ, being lucky, having blue eyes, being a woman, growing up in an area with good teachers, being born in a country with freedom, and more and more.
My dad came here from Italy. Him and my mother split up. I lived in Minneapolis areas most growing up. I got beat up, had a kid stomp the side of my head into the curb because I was white. Grew up completely lower to poor. Got picked on for that. Called a whop, kracker and so much more, because I was minority. I never had name brand ever, was dogged by many. I didn't carry hatred in my heart for all the people in other ethnicities that treated me that way. Even at that age I knew it wasn't skin color, it was green$$privilege and bigotry to socioeconomic standing.

Yeah I’m a black woman who did my orthopaedic residency in south central LA and then later went to practice in Appalachia, and it totally aggravates me how the narrative has people so totally screwed up on how things really are. In six years that I treated countless gun shot injuries, not ONCE did I ever treat anyone shot by the police. And having seen the struggle of poor whites in Appalachia it pains me seeing how indoctrination has socially engineered these young people.
People of the world don’t see how they are being played by the 0.1% of oligarchs who use a DIVIDE, DISTRACT, DISEMPOWER agenda. They want everyone to be lower class. They are just positioning themselves to steal the wealth from the upper middle class. They’ve almost wiped out the middle class. People are so naive.
I read this and as a child of Appalachia... thank you ❤
People do not want to hear this because it prevents them from having a narrative to ride on.
(slams hands on table) THANK YOU. i don't care if you're black or not... as a White man, the fact that you recognize the truth means a lot to me. the fact that most people are blind to this is disheartening.
I understand divide and conquer, but are you saying that they are using the narrative that police are the problem....as opposed to poor people are hurting poor people. Thereby we don't focus on the real issues like wages and standards of living. I may be reaching too far here.

Never took a vacation, drove the same truck for 12 years and paid for my daughter’s college on my own. PLEASE show me where my white privilege is because I was working too hard to find it.
Thank you, Sir, for having to be a real man. I know it is tough.
I am white, middle-lower class, and have lived in my car for 8 years & 9 months in order to survive and get ahead...this made me a real man, too. It is not as easy as privileged would be.
But, talking from the other side of my mouth, I can see I'm still privileged bc I'm white. I don't have governmental help, like minorities, but even a black store owner in a ghetto looks at me like he knows that I'm not likely to be a problem...that is white privilege.
So living in your car you consider yourself to be privileged even though you have nothing except your skin? While minorities get all these benefits based on skin color?
@@shep6610 That's not white privilege, that's called being civilised and the same consideration is shown to Asians and for the same reason. It's not a privilege to not steal, the whole white privilege racism is designed to take attention away from the criminality of black communities. They're not at fault for committing crimes, the problem is micro-aggressions, structural inequalities...white privilege.
@@shep6610 Your last example is not "white privilege's" it's the expected end result when an entire cultural & socio-economic group of people deliberately refuse to advance and do everything possible to degrade. And then wonder why other people, and they themselves, expect different attitudes and conforming to 'general society'. So you're acting like it's a privilege for people to expect you to have common courtesy, not steal, commit some crime or act out in some way that's negative. basically you're acting like a decent human being.
That's not having a privilege, it's others acting poorly for an extended period of time and then complaining about the long term consequences of their actions when everyone, including members of that group, perceive them negatively. Being a decent human being and not trying to take advantage of someone and acting neutral or polite should be the norm, and if everyone did that it wouldn't been seen as unusual.
And now your daughter is burning coal. 😂😂😂😂
I was “ privileged “ because my parents taught me to work hard and treat others with respect to all races.
When I was lower enlisted in the USAF with 2 kids, I took custody of my 11 yr nephew. I applied for food stamps. I was denied, I was told, because I owned a Chevy Lumina minivan that I saved up for 2 years while overseas and paid half of it in cash. I was told to sell it for a junker and I'd qualify. I was the only white person in the assistance office. 3 months later, a black E7 (3 ranks above me) with a full size conversion van and 2 kids living in rent free base housing got food stamps. White privilege is bullshit and an excuse for not doing well.
That's exactly what it means but it can't be said in those terms
Amen
That boy on stage is weak minded . They are all priveleged by being students at Penn frickin State . Intersectional marxist dogma being spewed from indoctrinated children .

In history, did she completely forget about the subjugation of the Irish, German, and Sottish? Even white people have been oppressed in American history.
People forget the first 75yrs or so of US slavery was Irish and Scottish and almost 50yrs after the abolition they were STILL basically slaves
And the word slave came from Slavic. Pretty white.
Oh they don’t teach that stuff anymore. It’s all just a conspiracy.. 🙄🤣
@@lorrygeewhizzbang9521 Yeah, no. The word slavery come from Latin. The word Sclava is the root. It did though refer to Slavonic captives.

I grew up extremely poor. Raised by a divorced Mom who couldn’t afford to help me with college. My black friends, many of which had families with much more $ than my mother, were able to get significant financial aid based solely on their color. I even had a financial aid counselor hint to me to change my ethnicity on my application. I couldn’t do that. Finally, 12 years later, I qualified for loans and put myself through college. So it angers me that people say I have white privilege! Where is my “generational wealth?” Don’t I automatically get that since I’m white? 🙄🙄🙄
Exactly this, I'm so fed up of this nonsense.
The whole thing against so called generational wealth is bullshit propaganda. Do they think that somehow wealth was just bequeathed to people out of the blue? The generations of my elders worked and slaved and suffered depri action in order to earn and save for their future generations. Handing down that wealth to their children with the hopes that they themselves will do the same. These fools seem to think that generational wealth is akin to welfare. Free money given out for nothing.
We were so poor that we had to eat dog food to survive as kids. Doesn’t sound like privilege to me, white or otherwise.
You had a chance at generational wealth. Your family failed you.
Same sorts of experiences in my life .
I believe that ANY and ALL policy based on race is racist , and therefore evil .
Poverty- lack of resources, lack of education, food insecurity, we need to redefine privilege
White privilege is a marxist lie
I wholeheartedly agree. There is no "white privilege", there is only the privilege and advantage that comes with wealth. Hence, those people with more money have more advantages and privileges than those that are poor. Privilege is not available due to a person's race. Privilege is all about money and available resources. I am a white female that grew up dirt poor in a rural southern town in the 1960s. We lived basically hand to mouth and sometimes did not know if we would have food the next day. My parents were hard working and trying hard to make ends meet. Unfortunately, my dad was injured badly on the job (healthcare insurance and workman's compensation were terrible back then), and our family suffered because of it. Our electricity and water were cut off so many times, and friends and family would give us money for rent and food just so that we wouldn't become homeless. So, I know what it means to lack the essentials of life...to be cold and hungry and thirsty, and have ragged clothes. For the longest time, I was ashamed of my roots, but I have come to realize that those times are what helped make me the person that I am today. I worked hard to get an education and become better off so that I would not have to live in poverty again. I paid for my own college education, and I along with my husband, who is retired military, have worked hard for everything that we have.

They aren't giving up any victim points for nothing. In 2024 being a victim pays. You could have all the proof in the world that a certain privilege is because of something other than skin color and it won't change their mind at all. What needs to stop is how this country is bending over backwards rewarding the fake victim points for them to just claim being a victim anyways.

There is so much wrong with the modern discussion on race, gender and privilege. What’s worse is these toxic ideas have spread so far and most adults are beyond tired of the topic.
Privilege is not dependent on the color of skin a person has. People are so incredibly clueless to think that it does.
Watching this from Europe is astonishing. The way these American kids think is insane. "I've heard this from other races"? "What class are you"? These sentences don't even sound REAL to me

"The way these American kids think..."
American here.
You will think and believe what you have been taught to think and believe.
Sadly, what you are seeing from these students, who seem to be far more rational/reachable than most, is only the tip of the iceberg. Decades of indoctrination and brainwashing are increasingly providing the desired result.
I'm shocked that such a teacher exists in modern American academia. We need many more like him. Students should never be taught what to think, only how to think and the importance of fact finding what you're being told.
All the best.
Welcome to the results of indoctrination instead of education!
I think the kids have been irreparably indoctrinated
You would be surprised how many of them know it's all bull sh**. They just know that if they don't pretend to agree, they could have violence used against them, their grades could be effected, they could be socially outcast and attacked and nobody will protect them from it for fear of becoming the next target.

I have 2 personal examples that contradict "white privilege."
1) In the early 2000's I took the civil service exam to try and get on the fire department. At that point I had 2 years experience working as an EMT and I scored a 93 on the exam. When the results were posted I was shocked to see that they had listed all the minorities and women at the top and all the white males at the bottom. Needless to say I never even got a phone call for an interview.
2) Around 2010 I was laid off from my job. I called the local housing department to see if I was eligible for renters assistance or anything like that. The woman on the phone asked me two questions, "Are you a single parent or are you a minority?" I answered no to both and she said there's nothing they can do to help me. I asked "what if I answered yes to one of the questions?" She said then we could start filling out the application for assistance.
Tell me about privilege again while your test scores to get into colleges doesn't have to be as high as white or Asian people.
facts
Pity points given due to the lowered expectations.
No kidding!!
Same thing applies in getting State Jobs. My state used to give, I believe, 15 points to Hispanics & 20 points to Blacks in addition to whatever they earned on the simple clerical test required to be hired for the agency I worked for. I had to take it several times (there were several versions of the test). The lowest I ever made was 94 - usually averaged 97, 98. It just was NOT a difficult exam!!!
@@ddz1375 I believe Thomas Sowell pointed out the "racism of low expectations".

I don't think he would get a good answer out of her either way. Like what would a kid in the upper middle class still in school know about being poor?
The point is to make her think about it and highlight the absurdity of the notion of the inherent privilege of skin color.
She wasn't fully convinced at that point however because her idea of the white privilege is a bit more nuanced. Like she believes that given equal opportunities (no class/wealth differences), a white person would be treated better than a POC. Like just hanging around in front of your lawn in a suburban neighborhood: how likely is someone going to call the cops on you? Would the cops listen to you/let you go? Her personal example was about being the one people approach instead of her friends because her skin color is a little lighter (bless her; it was probably her only real life experience she can draw an example from)

Believe me I'd like to know! The only people who think white privileges a thing is too privileged to know any different.
My parents taught me that no matter how dumb I am, no matter how many times I get knocked down, no matter who judges me or picks on me for being poor or odd, the only way I can fail is to stop getting back up every time I get knocked down. That is a privilege, but it has zero to do with skin tone.
Privilege is getting a job over someone with more experience because of the color of your skin. Privilege is getting accepted into a college over someone because of your race. Privilege is getting a curve on entrance exams because of the color of your skin. You should be judged on your ability NOT race or skin color.
Absolutely! It’s only common sense. Why that’s so difficult I don’t understand. Same with business. Anyone with half a brain can understand you hire the most qualified person for the job regardless of anything else.
Yes, and black & brown people

I agree, but here's the big problem. If things were done the correct way, as you have described, it would soon become apparent that there are great differences in intelligence and ability between the races. The "all men are created equal" crowd doesn't like to be confronted by that fact. Anyone who honestly believes that all men are equal is a fool.
@@Richard-f7q Equality is a rather new idea that comes mostly from the Puritans who settled the Northeast who taught that, although no one was equal in reality, we were all "Made in the image of God" (the imago Dei) which is why it remains the bastion of Egalitarianism today, but it was ALWAYS a religious concept with no basis in reality. No one is equal in almost every way: no one is equal in strength, height, intellect, wealth, beauty, or any other factor. We all have either great or miniscule differences but we are all different in every way. No one is equal in anything, unless you "round" the decimal points. Equality is a cult like belief, often used to justify democratic/republican systems of government.
"Where men are forbidden to honour a king they honour millionaires, athletes, or film-stars instead: even famous prostitutes or gangsters. For spiritual nature, like bodily nature, will be served; deny it food and it will gobble poison."

"[Voltaire] theoretically prefers a republic, but he knows its flaws: it permits factions which, if they do not bring on civil war, at least destroy national unity; it is suited only to small states protected by geographic situation, and as yet unspoiled and untorn with wealth; in general "men are rarely worthy to govern themselves." Republics are transient at best; they are the first form of society, arising from the union of families; the American Indians lived in tribal republics, and Africa is full of such democracies. but differentiation of economic status puts an end to these egalitarian governments; and differentiation is the inevitable accompaniment of development.”
― Will Durant, The Story of Philosophy
Quite prophetic, as America was only a few inches away from a bullet starting another civil war just a few days ago.
All men are only equal to a certain perception.
Equal to breath in the same air, to eat food, drink, sleep, piss, shit. You know, having similar issues with a humanoid body that must be taken care of or die.
But not equal when it comes to intelligence, capabilities, social behavior etc.
I am a white woman. Raised by a single mom. My father was in my life every once in a while. We didn’t have much at all. I wore dollar store shoes and clothes. I was absolutely NOT privileged one bit. Just having TV was a privilege. We got assistance for school supplies. Shopped for clothes at Goodwill 🤷🏼♀️ I CHOSE to be the person I am today. WHITE PRIVILEGE did not come save me! This whole thing about race is ALL PLANNED. The government wants us to hate each other. Simply because if we ALL STOOD UP against the craziness of America’s government TOGETHER they wouldn’t be able to stop us. Please just stop with the privilege stuff! We all bleed the same. We need to come together for the good of all of us and stand against the race baiting. Love each other. That’s the easiest way to say it.
Wealth is the only privilege. It doesn't matter if you're white or black. If you have money, people will be nice to you and will suck up to you and you will get opportunities and your life will be easy. If you're poor, white or black, your life will be hard, no one will give you the time of day, no one will care. Race is irrelevant. It's just a tool the elites use to divide us and keep us at eachother's' throats so that we don't realise they're our real enemy, not the people who look differently from us.
I have been saying the same thing for years. My grandparents raised me. When I tried to go to college, I was denied financial aid because my grandparents' social security was $approximately $100 above the limit. We did not receive any welfare at all, only their SS income. White privilege? What a joke.

Privilege is becoming a moot point. It all comes down to CHARACTER. My Italian grandmother forbade my dad and his siblings from wearing black clothes in Duluth MN predominantly white neighborhood because they didn’t want to be associated with the mafia. Italians were also lynched alongside blacks in our very recent history. Considered white by some, non-white by others. I Was terribly picked on for my strange hairy looks by a blonde-haired, blue-eyed population. I had girls say that with my frizzy hair, there’s no way I would be able to make the choir. They wouldnt’ be fiends with me. My family wasn’t well off, we almost moved to a trailer park. This made me angry and instead of being a victim, I made other more worthy friends. I went on to be the first in my family to get a degree on the Italian side. I’m now far more successful and intelligent than those narrow-minded privileged girls were. Those girls who had everything literally handed to them with their privilege have very boring and mundane lives. Many of them ended up in poverty and into drugs. So what does that tell you? CHARACTER and MENTALITY trumps PRIVILEGE. You see what you want to see. I could pay attention to all the ways I’ve missed opportunities because of XYZ. Or I could think about how blessed I’ve been with the privileges that I have enjoyed. We all have advantages if we really pay attention.

Apparently "white privilege" skipped my area of West Virginia while I was growing up in the 70s & 80s. My parents divorced when I was 6. My mom raised 3 of us an a single income with no help from child support. She made a few dollars too much to qualify for any kind of assistance. She couldn't keep the heating and electricity paid, which made winter a lot of fun. Water pipes and toilet froze every year. We would be huddled under piles of blankets trying to keep warm. We knew that none of us were going to college because we couldn't afford it. We survived on school lunch and a hamburger for supper if we were lucky. I started working at least 20 hours a week at age 15 to help buy things that I needed and help out the family. Don't try selling me on white privilege. It's bs.

My mom lived in a cement home with bad air conditioning that barely worked, barely enough food, never went out, was abused, worked nearly minimum wage for years and has worked every year alive since she was 16

My white privilege growing up in a black ghetto was getting attacked regularly just for being a white boy (even though most my family is off the boat Italian). I was turned down for jobs I was more qualified for because of racial/gender quotas. Every other color kid was allowed to be proud vocally of their heritage, but I was wrong if I was proud to be who I am.
What I learned early from the ghetto, my best friend who was black, used to get picked on by other black kids for HAVING A FATHER AND MOTHER AT HOME. They called him "soft" or "uncle Tom" among other things. Watching that made me realize, it just sucks for EVERYBODY in the ghetto, and the real privilege is GREEN privilege.
The other part of my "white" privilege is Irish/Scottish. Please research how privileged those "white" people have been through the years.
Yup detroit ghetto here
Same as me, first generation Italian. Grew up in Boston, got my butt kicked (I'm female), saw my teachers give preferential treatment to my black classmates, I honestly think they were afraid for a few reasons. Black kids got free lunches, lived in free housing, wore very nice clothes, I was 12 the first time I got a brand new pair of jeans. There were times when my dad was working 3 jobs at once.

I wanted to fit in and everyone was wearing Nike Airs so, I finally convinced my mom to get me a pair of Nike Airs. The next day, I got knocked down and made fun of and they took my shoes off my feet because the only Nike Airs my mom could find at the thrift store were orange and orange was the wrong color, apparently. I think that's one of the days that I gave up a bit more on life.
I’m 54, white, a biological woman, and I don’t have “white privilege.” My mom, who was a single mom, made sure that we (my younger sister and myself) knew that the only way we would get anywhere in life is hard work. Just because I’m white doesn’t mean a damn thing.
I’m so damn sick and tired of hearing “white privilege this,” and “white privilege that,” because the majority of white Americans NEVER had any privileges.
This wasn’t a “thing” until Obama got into office. The Dems, the RINO traitors, the Left, the Libs, and the MSM push this “white privilege” in order to keep the divide going.

He has more respect for dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un than he has for John McCain, Liz Cheney, the Bush's or Reagan. Seriously . . . . this is your idea of a leader? He has had more lawsuits brought against him throughout his life than all past US Presidents put together. What does this say? (BTW...who is paying for all his legal woes and Melania's haircuts?? You and others of course. Shouldn't your money be used for an election campaign and not his lawyers and stylists?)
You can't even properly define “white privilege” go read a definition before you pop off bs that you have literally no clue about
I grew up with both parents, but that just meant they were both there to beat, abuse, and torture me. I fail to see the privilege in never having enough money for food and the trauma I live with daily. But I won't vote for criminals that want to violate my human rights, per the UN & WHO.
@jacqslabz you won't vote for 'criminals who want to steal your rights'... this is your argument against Trump?? What rights is he trying to take away from you? Who is it that's pushing anti gun laws? Who is responsible for the infringement on free speech and free press? Was it Trump that opened our country to 10's of millions of poor immigrants who get free housing and welfare?
You should read about what Trump did for the veterans while in office. You should read about the job availability and the GDP. You might not like him but Trump UNAPOLOGETICALLY prioritizes US citizens and our economy. He's not interested in war profits because he doesn't treat our soldiers like they're an expendable resource. He's not interested in foreign relations because he's tired of watching America drown in debt from always being involved in some other country's bs.
I'm privileged because I am alive at 54.. my brother died at 25.. I'm also female, white, Welsh and working class.. this white privilege crap is just that.. crap.. grow up..

I am 44 and considered a Gen X'er. I remember being taught and not only school, but our television programs for children not to judge another by the color of their skin but by their character of their being. There was a whole generation of us raised like that. I find it disturbing that it is taking a reverse turn and is increasing the division of the races in the public educational systems and children's television programming. These current college students don't know this. Nor do the understand that they are perpetuating what they consider a problem. That of racism and superiority complexes.
❤❤
I'm 44 as well - and I have to absolutely concur with you about the way our generation was taught. It is infuriating the way today’s main stream media has become a peremptory global mouthpiece that is filled with reckless half-truths that are purposefully sensationalized to misrepresent factual details into biased directives. This causes a lot of misconstrued information that both disguises and exaggerates problematic controversy’s that incites strife and provocations. I’m glad that there’s people out there concerned about racism in culture and have their antenna perked for possible inequalities creeping into culture, and I try to be on guard for that as well. But this is an instance where misunderstanding and downright ignorance is causing collateral damage and unnecessary conflict where there just doesn’t need to be. Fighting racism with racism only means that there’s racism still to be fought and it saddens me the way this generation is clawing back all the ground that our country has fought so hard for.
Watching this professor in action was an incredible breath of fresh air, as there are far too many Universities that are indoctrinating under the guise of educating. The ability to think critically, logically and rigorously is one the best skill sets anyone could ever be taught to have, and I'm sure this professor will prove to be an extraordinary asset in the lives of his students.
yep, I remember the same thing. I am 43.
Hell, I'm 31 and I remember that... Don't judge a book by its cover education. Then again, I joined the Marine Corps and was surrounded by my multiracial brothers and sisters instead of going to College in my younger years and being indoctrinated with political propoganda. It's ironic when the Military used to be the ones said to be "Indoctrinated".
I find it crazy how hard blacks faught to end segregation in schools and bathrooms and bus's... and now we have blacks fighting hard to ensure they have segregated dorms and colleges and areas where white cannot enter.
How sad their ancestors must be.
When "white privilege " was handed out I must have been working that day and missed it.
I must have been burying my parents. Damn.
Damn. I want a raincheck.

White privileged is not what you go through, it’s what you don’t go through
It's truly astonishing how far backwards we've gone..
I worked construction on a county contract in a 90% black area. The company on the contract was told, "We want to see more black faces instead." and they revoked the contract. I lost my job, and got a job working minumum wage loading bags at an airport. I started doing self IT study. I got an entry level IT job making $13 an hour. Worked my way up there for 3 years. Got a better position after that, and after a few years there once the IT manager retired, I had built up the trust of the managers, and they made me the IT manager. I'm not wealthy, but I'm finally middle class with no college education.
Everyone faces difficulties.
Pick yourself up and work your butt off. I don't care what your skin looks like. If you can work, I want you beside me.
Congratulations and may the good Lord bless you and shine his face upon you and give you his precious peace!🙏🏻❤️🇨🇦
You could see the girl in the middle struggling to find a way to say she doesn't want to be a poor white person without admitting her white privilege thing is BS.
I totally agree
The scarier thing is these students ARRIVED at university with these pre programmed beliefs. So this is happening in grade school ….
We have warned about this for a long time but we were called racists for it. You made your bed, now lie in it.
CRTs are to blame. 📺 😂
"White Privilege" = not telling everyone every day that I'm a victim even when I am.
I think we need to talk about black privilege.
💯
Way way more black privilege
This.
Feels more like black pandering. It’s so insulting to anyone with dignity
Including the privilege society grants of thinking anything bad that happens to you is because of 'racism', despite the fact that the exact same things happen to white people.
I think it's both sad and comical that this professor is using subtle mockery to try and educate or put in question their prior indoctrination and they're completely missing the point and still can't see the stupidity in their arguments.
It makes me mad the arrogance of this argument, there are homeless people blatantly being ignored and their privledged race doesn't benefit them in anyway, people ignore them as if they are already dead, a ghost
These people have no perspective because they have never had to struggle. Yeah the mockery & sarcasm is totally wasted on them.
Well said

I think in modern society "pretty privilege" would have more impact on peoples life than their skin color..
Absolutely, life for an attractive person is life on easy mode
@@anilbhagwat8085 depends on what you want out of life.
I can confirm this. When I let my beard grow out all bushy and put on sweatpants and a hoodie, I get treated vastly different than if I trimmed up and put on a nice ironed collared shirt. I encourage everyone to try it. It works no matter what color you are.
Amen! Say it loud so that those in the back of the room can hear!
Pretty privilege can also involve skin color though. For example most dark skin black women aren’t considered pretty in the USA so it would be hard for them to have pretty privilege. While in some African nation they would be all the rage. So privilege can definitely involve skin color
I live in northern va. the fact that maya grew up in northern va literally proves how privileged she is.
It's hard to believe these are college students. Zero critical thinking skills. This is a sad, sad day for our country.
This is horrifying, I am scared for our countries future. Please keep teaching to rid us of critical race theory.
This is nothing. These kids are dumb. The smart ones with the same ideology are scary.
Thats because kids are given a pass anymore, not held accountable or responsible by the states or parents. They are brainwashed into what to think, not how to think.
And I bet you have a Doctor Degree?

My great grandfather grew up in a house with no floors, he had no shoes when it was time for him to go to school. Upon becoming 18 he went to war, when he came back he didn’t have enough money to feed himself. When my great grandparents married they went through their fair share of struggle, and it was particularly hard in The beginning of their marriage (Great Depression). He worked 5 jobs at one point to keep his family fed. Including maintaining his farm. I was lucky enough to know him, and my great grandma. She died when I was 10, he died when I was 19. He was born in 1913, he was white. I am white. The privilege I’ve obtained is from his sacrifices, and the sacrifices of my other great grandparents, and grandparents. He kept his family together, praised god, worked his hands bloody, and never complained.
My privilege is family privilege. Don’t put that on a skin color because I KNOW there is a black great grandpa out there who was just like mine, and his family is lucky he’s in their line.
Couldn't your great grandmother have married a richer man than your great grandfather and avoided the struggle?
My grandparents were born in 1909 and 1907. They had 7 children, my father is next to the youngest. They lived in a 4 room house with no running water or bathroom until my dad was 6 or so. My grandfather made it to 9th grade, grandmother to 3rd or 4th.
My grandmother had to quit school because of her 12 younger siblings.
All my aunts and uncles worked hard. Some went to college, others not. My grandfather delivered newspapers for a living, my father and uncles had to get up at 4 am on school days to deliver newspapers. My other grandparents were dirt poor also but by the time they died, they were millionaires.

Amazing how children call earning something through hard work "privilege".
That's why they call Asians white adjacent.
It's insane. Not to mention that these people that spend most of their lives thinking this way and being resentful are extremely privledged themselves to be living in the U.S.A where you can make a good life for yourself if you put the work in and CHOOSE to
I don't think they have a concept of hard work. They don't know which end of a shovel to use.
They have been brainwashed to believe this lie and so many others, like being on time is racist so as to control and divide. People can no longer critically think. Most are poorly educated in the critical skills…reading, writing, speaking, history, math, science etc. HOWEVER, so many are indoctrinated into the Socialist/Marxist agenda.
I grew up very poor!!!! I worked starting at 14, worked 2-3 jobs at a time, worked very hard to get ahead and take care of myself and my daughter!!!
My experience is the same. I worked my butt off for decades. I'm still not rich, but lower middle class. Tis amazing to me that choices and determination are defined as privilege.
I am a poor, working, white. My father's earliest memory is picking cotton in the fields in Southern Arkansas. I am 1 generation off the cotton patch. Guess thats my "white privilege "😂
YES THIS. My white grandmother grew up in Vernon, Alabama PICKING COTTON with her 5 siblings just so they could survive. They rarely went to school because instead theyhad to be working picking cotton. My grandma and her 5 siblings along with their mother and father all lived in a TINY 1 ROOM SHACK. They are all as white as white can be, and this was back during the time when if there was any white privilege to be had, they would have had it, but alas, they did NOT. I was then raised by my grandma and grandpa and we were middle/working class until my grandpa died when I was 13 and me and my grandma became very lower class after that. I have never been given ANY type of advantage for my skin color. I would get followed in stores always, because it was obvious I was poor. THE ONLY PRIVILEGE IN THIS COUNTRY IS WEALTHY PRIVILEGE.
Exactly. I’m third generation out from the anthracite mines in Pennsylvania. My grandfather died from black lung, my mother was second generation out and a housewife. I’m third gen and also a housewife who had to also keep a full time job so that my family could afford to eat and pay rent.
On my dad’s side they were farmers from the Philly area and they lost their farm to “progress” and my grandfather ended up having to take a factor job to survive. My dad was a long haul, hazardous waste trucker and died from lung cancer from the Anhydrous ammonia inhalation.
By siblings ended up working in a meat packing plant for 35 years and being in the army for 20 years and then working at Cheyanne Mountain for 20 years.
Now I’m disabled and my elderly mother lives with me. We survive on social security.
The privilege in my life is insanely obvious isn’t it???
These people don't understand what it's like to be poor! That's all I'm going to say!
Facts
Their lives are so twisted they have concept of the real world.
They are better off than others HOWEVER "White Privilege" is NOT the reason. It is because their PARENTS had different values.
@supermankent1041 bruh, im black myself. If I were in that black girls shoes, I'd be privileged af, but instead, I'm reliant on financial aid and working every day to be able to continue going to school, because no one else in my family can afford to help me. I pay for rent, I bought my own used car, I pay for everything I have, when I times are rough I look in the mirror and say "you got this".

Absolutely. This whole race thing hurting everyone in so many ways.
as "white privileged" I was poor, having to work on a farm since I was 5 driving farm vehicles. Milking cows. Doing irrigation at 2am. Working a full-time job since 14 while still helping on the farm. Paying rent since 16.
They would say at least you had a job or was working. Lots of these people in the inner city well they do nothing all day, accomplish nothing. They wonder why they get no where, they don't even try.
But you have priviledges and you don't even know it.

When someone answers a question with "it's intersectional", that really means "my original point has no validity so, I'm gonna talk about other stuff instead"
I actually think her response was a valid way one could think about it, although I don't fully agree. What she meant by intersectionality was presumably how we live in different layers of privilege and backgrounds. This means you can reap the benefits of being financially privileged but, at the same time, not privileged in other layers like experiencing childhood with both parents, for example, or face possibly higher instances of negative prejudice and such from the color of your skin. Again, not that I fully agree, but it does make sense, especially compare to the other two spouting pretty much stupid shit.
A generation in the toilet! These kids don't stand a chance!

Wow! These people are delusional. 😮 How incredibly sad and disturbing!
My nephew made a 34 on the ACT. He was raised by a teacher and a cop. He was offered a couple of scholarships to state schools but would still have a few things to cover out of pocket. His good friend was black. His friend's parents were Nigerian. Both were physicians. He made a 32 on his ACT. He was offered full ride scholarships to Yale and Harvard. "Unconscious bias" at it's absolute best. The student with the lower score gets better offers to Ivy league schools because the box checked black/brown on his application when in reality the boy with the higher scores but had the white box checked came from less ability to pay for school than the black boy. My nephew went to the state school, graduated, got another scholarship and got his advanced degree. He is currently living a great life. I'm sure his friend is too. Both were extremely intelligent and hard workers. I'm 57 and race relations feel the worst they've been in my lifetime. I think we should really try to go back to trying to look at and judge people on their actions and character not on the color of their skin. Also, I think we all should stop feeling guilty about the color of our skin, no matter what it is. It worked before, maybe it can work again.
Well said. My opinion: the only reason it's "not working" now is because the powers that be don't want it to. There's an agenda and "they" need us divided as possible in order for it to work. Btw racism in the past had its up and downs too and the majority of it was reinforced by politicians for whatever reason.
I don't feel guilty about being born and not should anyone else. They had no say in it and the same goes for the colour of their skin.
Hair can be died.
I agree that it is the labels that divide us and our actions that define us.
The worst part about that is its putting minorities in a bad spot.
Think of it like this.

Well guess what you three. Its never gonna go back to judging by character. Did you 3 forget that it is racist to say all lives matter?

These suspects are shockingly ineloquent. I thought Penn State was supposed to be a decent university..The verbal judo they are engaging in to try to provide a politically correct answer would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.
None of these places are prestigious or worth while, once the “everyone needs to go to college” and Marxist doctrine set in. Most of the courses are nothing more than a money pit for progressive ideology…
Agreed. It’s a tragedy of being brainwashed to the point of self-loathing and/or self-denigration.

We are free to travel from state to state and county to county without any application or documentation (this is also not universal in all countries)...I think I am quite privileged. And none of that has anything to do with my skin color.

The only real privilege is financial privilege.
Mabe,money matters. Of course if you don't have enough money to eat... It doesnt make you very happy. But i think that beeing raised in a caring and loving family with a father a mother and siblings is a more significative privilege... Than having money. With less money you learn to value things that are more important in life.
This is true. I consider myself extremely privileged that I came from a good family. My father worked very hard and my mother was an incredible housewife. They did everything right and I benefited greatly from this. However, this whole “white privilege” thing is basically a made up narrative that lazy people use as an excuse for their own failures. It helps to absolve them of any accountability.

Privilege in the US is wealth-based PERIOD
It's based on standards.. not all groups are equal
And if your black!
They still never addressed what white privileges actually are.
The point is that it never has to be defined, because if they define it in a practical way it can be debunked. It's far stronger as an abstract concept that appeals to people's self pity, self righteousness, and envy.
@@AeusDeif Spot on
Having standards
everything others have they believe they deserve without any effort. All regimes at all times have lazies like this. They just gave it a new name, that's all.

Privilege has nothing to do with skin color.
nah, privilege can do with whatever. Being white you have a privilege to have a skin cancer. Being a child of your parents you have a privilege for their inheritance. It's so "intersectional", that you can invent a new one based on any difference between people.
There's no such thing as privilege.
It's either advantage or disadvantage.
For example, if I'm 7 get y'all and athletic, I have an advantage at most sports over someone who's 5 for y'all and not athletic.

Anyone who can afford college is vastly more privileged than most people in the world.
THIS COMMENT IS CORRECT RIGHT ON POINT
I learned several trades via Pell Grants. You don't have to go to some expensive school to get ahead in life. Learn a trade that is in demand, and you'll always have means to earn a living.
I’m white. My dad worked 3 jobs at one point, and my mom worked as well. I started working when I was 15 to help out. I was the youngest of 4. We rarely got new things but we didn’t really think about that. We had music in our house and we loved each other. I would rather my dad and mom work less than have more things. I learned my work ethic from my parents. College students in general are all pretty darned privileged. I could not afford to go to college and work full time. Let’s face it, in general, if we live in the USA we are all pretty darned privileged.
You're privileged for the amazing parents you have!!! Dnjoy them while you have them and smile to the loosers!
Same here but it was me after getting out of the Military that had to work 3-4 jobs to keep the bills paid.
Grew up the same way, thrift store clothes, toys and games, at one point was so bad, we almost lost the house and only got by because of the generosity of others assisting with food. Eating out was non-existent as was theme parks, carnivals, records/tapes, and movies. A $0.30 burger once every 6months was the highlight of the year.
True. Being a citizen of the United States of America is our privilege (with responsibilities)

The FBI provides free crime stats for the entire country, broken down just about any way you can imagine. Their data comes from all law enforcement agencies. It goes back to the 1980s or possibly the 1970s. Certainly worth checking out for fact checking.
In discussions with black friends, when Ive asked them for examples of racism theyve experienced....for one, the example was either a stereotypical vicarious experience that theyve never personally experienced, or the examples are nothing that every other race...including myself have also experienced.
"The police pulled me over for no reason!" Ohhh, WOW, they do the same to me as well....I was just pulled over recently for allegedly making an illegal turn....I never turned, I drove straight through a green light, straight across the cross street, straight down the street, I hadnt turned for a LONG time. They asked me to get out of my truck, where am I going, what do I do. When I politely told the officer I had never turned, he immediately told me my brake light was out.....which I hadnt touched until he was already pulling me over and THEN he saw I had a brake light out.
"well I came from a poor family"....Huh, are you poor now? No! Why not? Because I worked hard. Well how did you get the opportunities if its so racist...You work for a white guy right? Yes.
Well, my parents lived in a garage and had to take a $500 loan out when I was born to pay for the hospital (YES, in 1970, the cost was $500), and it took them years to pay it off until my sister came along and they had to get another loan.
My parents couldnt buy me a car....Okay, neither could mine. My parents couldnt afford college for me...Okay, neither could mine, they wouldnt even pay for me to take the SAT test because there was no point.
One example after another....I could relate to and even had experiences that they havent. One side of my family was dirt poor uneducated hillbillies from the Appalachians, born is the shacks they lived in, the other were poor ranchers that lost their land to the state to put in a railroad....such privaledge.
These self proclaimed victims mistake someone being an asshole to them for racist behavior. I've never heard one mlack person be able to articulate a specific case of racism ever.
I would feel absolutely horrible and racist if I sat next to a black person and said that I was more privileged because of my skin color. I can’t believe they can’t hear it…

Vanity driven idiocy.
I get SO TIRED of hearing Lazy Gen Z and Millennials talk about things they have NO CLUE. Minority students have ALWAYS been given MORE than white students. I watched them Bus black students into my Junior High in 1979. My High School was a model school at the time, they sat kids from urban areas Downtown next to white kids thinking it would somehow make them SMARTER. The black kids never got better but the white students test scores started going DOWN every year. I graduated in 1983 and by 1985 the school had more expelled students and drop outs than they had ever had in the previous 25 years the school was open. Liberals at the time whined they needed to give minority student MORE hand outs, free lunches, books, pay for their supplies and basically hand them everything because they were so deprived. By 1990 they school budget DOUBLED and yet the Test scores nor the drop out rates NEVER got better. By 1996 they had to close the school reopen it as a split middle school and high school and today its one of the worst schools in the district.
Being one of the few Native Americans in my state I could have been handed a college scholarship but after talking to my mother we felt that since I didn't grow up on a Reservation or have connections with my Tribe in Texas it wouldn't be right so I worked full time and my parents made up the rest for me to go to college. Today it makes me feel like a chump for not taking advantage of the system the way todays over indulged CHILDREN now going to college for worthless degrees do. In the past 40 years I watched people being given jobs because of their skin color and nothing else, I have NEVER seen a person be given a job because they were WHITE.....
I feel bad that you didn't take the opportunities that were there but I understand where you're coming from. Hindsight Tilly's 2020 but yeah in this life is giving any opportunity whatsoever take it don't think twice about it!.
I grew up dirt poor. When i was in highschool, I had the opportunity to get a scholarship based off my art. And my own father made sure that didn't happen. On top of that I'm a single mother with mental and emotional problems. I've had cops kick my door in and tackle me, taze me, and arrest me because I was suicidal at the lowest point of my life. I have a hard time getting and keeping a job. Because many jobs dont want a worker who constantly has to take off because they have kids and no help, (not for a lack of asking). So to this conversation I say, what priveledge? If I had any kind of privilege free at my fingertips I would waste no time in taking advantage of that and actually get somewhere in life. I would not be where I am now. 😅 js
I feel dumber after watching this.
These kids can't even formulate a complete sentence relaying a thought.
Back in 1974 my husband decided to work on his masters. We live in a city with a Tier One University. But the tuition with a wife and young daughter had him going to the student loan off office. He was handed forms to fill out that included he check the right boxes. The question he had trouble with was the correct category of race and ethnicity he fell under. There were about twelve choices like Native American, African American, Hispanic, Pacific Islander, etc….the last choice was Other. He was confused because he did not know what box he should check so he walked up to the office staff and told them he could not find a category for him. They looked at him, noting he was a Caucasian male and said, “Oh, you’re an Other.” He asked what that meant. This was their response, “It means you have to pay the loan back.” True story.
You're full of shite. Something that never happened because there's always white not Hispanic on every form.
Kids, you have the power to create your own opportunities. I grew up in the inner city of Cleveland and attended CPS, a school system that faced many challenges. But I learned that if you can read, study, and put in the effort, you can succeed in America. My grandparents, who never finished high school, ended up retiring comfortably. My family always instilled in me the belief that we can achieve anything in this country. I never let our financial situation make me feel inferior because I was taught to "keep your chin up and overcome obstacles." Your self-respect and pride are yours to protect. Today, my children are doing even better than I did because I passed on those same values. Remember, only you can allow others to bring you down. Don’t see yourself as a victim; instead, be a gladiator.
If you're white , black, or any where in between, get a job, give 100%, and a little extra, which means showing up early and leaving late. Make yourself indispenseable. Never say "That's not my job". Look to improve your education, and take training sessions. and when opportunity knocks take a chance.
They need to just mind their own business instead of trying to dictate everyone else's.
And live within your means.
Better yet, become an entrepreneur.
I was a white working class kid who became a lawyer (Notre Dame Law School, 82 cum laude). When I got my first job as a lawyer a senior attorney pulled me aside and said, "pinpoint oxford shirts, silk ties, wool suits, and keep your shoes shined." Good advice. Hell, they should have taught that in Law School. BTW, my shoes were shined - I was an Army veteran. I had one out of four.
~ 1980s! Then you were one of the (then) many who lived through the coolest era since the "Roaring" 1920s. No matter how horrific this performance-art USA/EU becomes ... you KNOW what reality is, & with awareness & understanding, there are certain scars worth bearing, each like a badge of honour.
Just because others have less, doesn't make you privileged.
What means HAVE anyway? More money ? - it's always nice to have more to spent, than before. Better family structure ? - 2 parents, no fights, illnesses or criminal records anywhere (has nothing to do with skin color - just a great family, back to great grandparents. Having a healthy body or a quick brain ? - lucky you, great anchestry (but you can THAT only pass to your children, not to poor people that are lacking in that departments). The privilege is being born in the USA, regardless of any skin color (you could become pesident there)
@@LisaBeta-42 you do realize that being president would be like being cursed to many usa citizens. to me just living in dc at any job would be a bummer. its 7:30 pm and i have not seen a human yet today. i am trully blessed.
Yes it does, except we used to simply call it gratitude
The presence of a father in the home is more indicative of success than skin color
Agree
This man is very intelligent. This is thinking above and beyond skin color. This is understanding the rhetoric of the media in our society.
The 1 kid just basically said "You might be poor and have nothing but at least you're white"... So they think that privilege is not gaining anything but just being.
Why they love white skin so much?
Maya is delusional and unwilling to learn.
She's clearly more comfortable in the position of an underprivileged victim, it must be hard to let go of it and embrace reality. All of a sudden nobody is commiserating you, no sympathy, no pity, nothing. Almost like those 40 million poor white people, except at least she has money and her fucking Honda sedan
She's the personification of the banality of evil.
I was working in the kitchen when I heard Maya start talking. I swore she was going to be a dude masquerading as a chick.
I need an examples of white privilege that these people are talking about. I am clueless about this subject. I grew up poor and that does not have any privileges.
Ditto, I fail to see where my privilege is.. we still have to rent, can barely afford to put money away to save for a house, etc... I was always looked down upon because I didn't talk, so I'm too stupid to talk to, etc... where is my privilege? Why haven't I seen any privilege?
It could mean the willingness of others to help you succeed.
For example, my group of friends saw the same high school counselor, and we were all encouraged to apply for college, all except my Black friend.
We told our friend to bring it up, and he did, and the counselor suddenly was helpful.
But, he had to mention it in order to receive the guidance.
Funny, he was the only one who actually went to college.
I'm doing really well without college, and I'm grateful.
I don't see or know how much of my success is from the privilege of my appearance, but how could I?
@@Labrynthetic I think I've figured this whole thing out now. White privilege is the only privilege that isn't a privilege. It's the fact we have fewer inherent disadvantages from skin color than several other races, mostly just due to the fact we are the majority of the population in the area. All of the examples they gave "white people are willing to talk to me more" or "white people don't get followed around in stores as often" are only applicable when everyone in the vicinity is white. I bet you black people find her more approachable than a white person. I bet you in a shop with black staff she isn't followed around.
Out of all the inherent privileges in life, id take any other one over being white skinned. Having generational wealth, having handsome or beautiful genetics, having the voice of a singer or voice actor, having important connections, having a family member that owns a business, being tall, being able to get jobs and scholarships easier due to having brown or black skin, having good eye sight, having good health, higher than average IQ, being lucky, having blue eyes, being a woman, growing up in an area with good teachers, being born in a country with freedom, and more and more.
Being able to walk out of Walmart without being checked.
@@azure6392 I get checked and I'm white so bad example.
My dad came here from Italy. Him and my mother split up. I lived in Minneapolis areas most growing up. I got beat up, had a kid stomp the side of my head into the curb because I was white. Grew up completely lower to poor. Got picked on for that. Called a whop, kracker and so much more, because I was minority. I never had name brand ever, was dogged by many.
I didn't carry hatred in my heart for all the people in other ethnicities that treated me that way. Even at that age I knew it wasn't skin color, it was green$$privilege and bigotry to socioeconomic standing.
