White privilege

[mskied]

White Europeans settled this land, and made it what it is today. Many innovations and inventions come from white culture, going back to the Greeks. White people have worked hard to establish their wealth, and they are working hard to make certain that all people have access to their knowledge. When talking about white privilege you are talking about taking away from hard workers what they have earned. What other white privilege is there? We all have access to schools and jobs. White communities may be a little safer but is that a privilege? Isnt it up to the community that inhabits a neighborhood to make sure it is safe? What exactly is white privilege? Access to better resources? I think this country does a good job of providing for all people. White privilege is just a lower income group decrying the hard work of the established class of race that worked hard at building this society.

Plenty of resources for help exists.
People have to decide to make changes for the betterment of their lives no matter what race they are.
My job has access to resources and I am getting more resources next week to give to my adult son. It's up to him to decide. He has access to plenty of resources.

Except for people whose lives are filled with the problems of gangs and probably drug addiction, there are a lot of black people who could have achieved anything and everything that I have achieved in life - if not more - because, ya know, racial quotas and affirmative action. In no way am I privileged over them. In fact, I live in a neighborhood that has a lot of black people in it - because - yep - what I just said. And I got a nice house, two cars, live in a good neighborhood and have some of the best schools in the state.

Well I'm gonna be an ass and say people of color have privilege since they can walk into a store and grab whatever and walk out the store without any consequence for the past year.
It's like a free for all except for ol whitey. Also the the observation of not hiring any white people at my job. A few are on leaves of absence, some are transferring and the few left are unhappy with the treatment and are going to go to corporate with their complaints.
Funny incident about 2 weeks ago, a somalian was asking a question to a few different employees and finally asked this older lady who is latino and got an answer and she told the coworker that the black people who work here are dumb as hell 😂
🤷‍♀️
This store has gone downhill and if the theft isn't taken care of, it could be better to just close shop and it's no real loss since the rebuild was insurance paid anyways
Idk, it's fucked up here.
My youngest son age 15 doesn't feel safe anymore, said "we could get robbed if we go to the store"
Sad that he's 15 saying that shit.

I will say not all p.o.c. do the free for all.
Someone loaded up a cart yesterday ran out the fire exit and hopped into a car that was waiting for them.
This happens every day at my job at least once a day. SMFH
