They were some good ole boys. They lived and fished off Choccolocco Creek on Logan Martin. Put us on some good bass. Their daddy owned the business, and they'd all come on Fridays to get some live bait and such. Bear in mind, these guys were in their 30's and 40's and their dad was pushing 70. One day, one of em let out a cuss word. I swear I thought his daddy was gonna yank his belt out and start beating him right there. He was all over his arse about being disrespectful like that in public.

Have Spleen or TeLaflex returned to explain their incredible stupidity in this thread yet?

OP was tldr.
This is stupid. Having a kid, regardless of marital status, would never improve ones financial situation unless that kid hops out the womb shitting diamonds or singing like JT. I'm having a child out of wedlock and we're doing just fine.

That maybe so, but having a child out of wedlock never improves one's financial situation. It only serves to strain your finances much more than they would be otherwise.

good advice overall. However I have a cousin who would prolly be kicked out of the bank if he walked in with normal clothes. The dude is a super genius (dummy to me - I grew up with him) and supposedly a freaking world class elite surgeon. If you ever talked to him you'd think he was high on drugs or a super dumbass. He don't give a shyt what people think about his clothes or his haircut.

That's just being bigoted. I've been pulled over by a black cop because I was white and had a nice truck and he simply wanted to find something wrong so he could write me a ticket. He had no reason to pull me over..couldn't even give me one. They do that shite all the time here.
I was pulled over six times in one night for the same article (busted headlight) and I'm white as snow.
And I was a security guard.
And ex-military.
I wonder where my privilege was at this point?

None of that refutes white privilege tbh

None of what you've said proves it.

Not privilege at all. No one benefits from having people that 'look like them', and guaranteed I could do that for any minority. (I love watching Korean Comedies. :) )

Being able to walk down the street any street and people remember "a man walked down the street" instead of "a black man walked down the street."
This is particularly a problem that blacks have fomented.
It's never "a physicist", it's an African-American physicist. It's never "the President" it's "the first African-American President". I have not seen -any- race focus more on skin-color than contemporary blacks.

Having anglo-saxon beauty standards be the coveted look.
Anglo-Saxon, I take it you mean "white" (Anglos are a specific type of white, like Celts, Slavs or Mediterraneans) -- that beauty standard is shared by most of the world.
Several cultures other than European (including Japanese and Chinese) practiced "white face", black women bleach their skin to get a fairer complexion.
That has nothing to do with privilege. The standard has been set for over 4,000 years.
Do you have any more examples of privilege?

Who has historically held more wealth in this country? Generally speaking, the people with wealth are the job creators. You will tend to gravitate towards people who you share things in common with. Whitey has that built in advantage (it is getting better, but to pretend that it isn't simply isn't true). My office has 3 white females, 1 female of foreign descent and the rest white males. Maybe a coincidence, but it isn't as uncommon as you might think.

It's not a coincidence that Asians, statistically hold higher averages of income over whites.
It's simple: You have MONEY (majority), you have POWER.
It's not: You have SKIN COLOR you have POWER.
Have we found the catalyst?

So, in the MS Delta, do I have white privilege?
I watch the local news, with their black anchors.
I report a burglary and it takes the police 6 hours to show up to my house.
And the chief of police literally called me a racist and klan member for asking him to do something about our former neighbor's pittbull who tore my uncle's leg apart. The neighbor wasn't even black but he assumed he was.
eta: That wasn't directed at you, Eddie but rather the thread as a whole.

No it's another thread where people try to pretend that every person who's white has a silver spoon in their mouth.
I don't buy the "I'm not saying every white person is privileged.......but I'mma go ahead and call it white privilege anyway."
That's some racist fricking bullshite and everyone knows it.
Privilege is not a matter of race, it's a matter of monetary status in the United States.
Bottom line.

This thread is always the lone disagreement I ever have with TBird.
I don't like it.
