I've never experienced white privilege so I can't speak of it. 2D

LMAO--70%? Really? I grew up in Idaho--and I don't remember living in a trailer...or anywhere near one?! I lived there for 14 years, and I think I might've been in one trailer park for 5 minutes, the entire time!
70% drive ol, rusty Ford trucks you say?!
I'm sorry--the way this question is phrased makes me laugh. I really hope that it's a joke! :p
As for white privilege--Mommy2be hit the nail headon...I don't buy it. I don't feel that I have a privilege to constantly be barraged with how I should feel ashamed that I'm white, employed, and educated. I don't appreciate people feeling that they know WHO I am by the color of my skin. I don't like that people think that just because I'm white, I have something against everyone else. I also don't appreciate how people of different skin tone get to be racist because it's "their" right. Tell me if that's privilege.

The stats are off! BUT as for white privilege.
It's the unrealistic, biased idea that we all benefit from something they don't. Even those of us that grew up poorer than a lot of them, and were not even offered ANY government aid whatsoever when many of them got it easily.
We can walk into a store and not get ID-white privilege. (I get ID every single time).
People will treat us better? (PFFT, exact opposite so I've learned).
We have it better. (Yeah right. Some times I wonder if being non white would be better if that meant I could quit listening to people tell me how ashamed I should be of my race, over a slavery and colonialism I'm not responsible for, blah blah blah). Alongside many other things, like hearing how ugly whites are, and how we have no culture/history. Somehow it's fair for them to say that. I call that "non-white privilege". It's fair to be racist if you're non white. =)
It's all stupid. It's an idea. But it's not a truth. It's opinionated and many whites in this country contradict the idea OF white privilege, and have it worse than a lot of non whites. I'm not speaking in terms of all, but yeah.
But I will tell you this. Affirmative action is a legal government action, not an idea. White privilege is what they claim that we have, so that makes affirmative action fair. (along with every other program that excludes whites). It's fair. (Yeah. All right.)

Alright, first off, i live in Iowa and we have a little to no trailer parks so maybe you should check out what your talking about before you go and spurt off a bunch of hateful remarks.
Second, I live in the suburbs with my black brother, i drive a brand new pontiac grand prix, my brother drives a jeep cherokee laredo, my sister drives a toyota celica. not one little scratch or the least bit of rust on any of them.
And white privillege, wtf is that all about? I've never even heard any one say that before. Your just as bad as the people that go around saying N**** all the time!

I'm not White ... But what is the point of you're question????
Your stats have to be wrong if it's true then the US would be a third world country because that would leave about 25% off projects so your assumption would mean only 5% of the population have a decent home ....

Yeah 70% of us definitely live in trailers. There's a fact you can't argue. And how many white people go on talking about white privilege?

HAHA I grew up in a trailer but it was in the woods not a trailer park and we had the same d*mn Ford since I was a kid. I don't know what white privilege is either.

White privilege? Funny, I though it was minorities that had affirmative action guaranteeing them jobs, after all they do have all the state jobs. They get an automatic 16 points on the police and fire department exams. They are given government contracts before whites. They can use every racial slur at Whites and get away with it while white peoples careers get ruined if they do it.
Yeah Whites have it so great.

impossible. your nanny got you good! the only thing similar I can tell you about is my cousin. We were getting fitted for bridesmaid dresses and she was having cramps and pains. They kept getting worse and she went to the dr. and had a baby that night! Did the baby dissapear? No. The baby was just standing straight up and breached inside of her so she didn't show AT ALL NO LIE.

Yeah, where'd you get your stats? Even if they were true, it would only be because there are many more whites in the united states than in asian countries, etc. So with the amount of whites in the Us there are bound to be a higher percentage of people who "didnt get there"
