    Like it or not. ALL MEN & WOMEN were created equally. If it is human. It is the ONLY privilege ANYONE HAS.

    So, this is for them.

    We are not equal, we are individual, and have all manor of factors -positive and negative- thrust on us.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Sounds like YOU have a really big problem Noir. Hope you have access to Socialized medicine
    to take care of your constant, negative, sky is falling attitude. Must be terrible to be SO ALONE.


    Noir. You are combining the POSSESSIONS of human beings, and confusing them with ALL MEN/WOMEN are CREATED Equal to enforce your argument as all of us being Individuals. I don't disagree with that part. But ALL OF US ARE BORN equally as talented, or able to be personally responsible for our actions as we mature. Confusing the TWO is MOOT!

    And therein lies the answer! I, like you Noir, strongly believe in individualism. I too have a dream that one day I will live in a world where we are judged, not by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character. Don't get all hung up on fair or unfair, privileged or non-privileged, you may as well be bitching about the weather. The answer lies in how the individual responds to the situation and environment they find themselves in. I've found that belief in a higher power helps in directing the individual in making decisions and taking actions that enhance and empower not just the individual but society as a whole.

    And in order to get to an individualist society you need to recognise what privileges are in place. Some would prefer to deny there existence but I don’t think that’s helpful.

    I don't deny that they exist, recognize the situation and react properly to it. Oh no, it's raining today I can't go to work! How will I make enough money to pay the rent? Hey, I got an idea, why not use an umbrella?

    I'm not sure about where you live, but here in America we have structured our self government system around the primacy of the individual. Just read our founding documents. Today, however we have one political party that is demanding that we destroy this system based on roiling up the various tribal groups in the country to simply put them in charge to right these historic wrongs by subjugating the rights of the individual to those of the collective. Not sure if I agree with that plan.

    Exactly, but there are people in this thread that not only believe the problem does not exist, but think that thinking the problem does exist is the real problem 🙃

    There are people in this thread that think you are way off base with your views on this. As in it does not exist in the way you describe and is more the power of the ruling government than it is white privilege.
    Are you referencing USA when making your comments or- Britain and its African colonies?
    Do you understand how brutal are the government in those now freed colonies? How whites in such places are being denied rights, having their lands(and their lives) taken from them?
    All the ills and/or evils( inequities) of mankind can not be laid at the feet of one group.
    I am white and my government daily punishes me. Yet I blame government not some race....--Tyr

    The nation's "Newspaper of Record" weighs in on the idea of white privilege:




    The New York Times' newest editorial board member Sarah Jeong is not a fan of "dumbass f**king white people" sharing their opinions on the internet and she wants the whole world to know it.
