Jon Stewart on white privilege (cc: unnamed posters... etc.)

That the majority of white people would actively have a preference for black people to be kept on a lower power level.

I fully acknowledge that white privilege as we have discussed numerous times on this board does exist. I do not believe that means that the majority of white people seek it out, and actively would wish to keep black people oppressed.

Essentially I think (hope) you are correct. But at the same time I can't blame black folks for feeling that way.

I hope so to, and I really do think that is the case. But in no way does that mean that EVERY white person feels that way. Obviously SOME do actively wish to keep black people and other races oppressed. I just do not believe that is the majority anymore.

And since I am white I am not allowed to have an opinion on the matter, but I still do, and my opinion is that I can see why many blacks (and other races...blacks are not the only "non-white" race around) would feel that way too. But I have more than a few black friends who get upset when other blacks seem to lean on that as an "excuse" (their words, not mine), and that is the best kind of evidence, anecdotal.

I agree that the preference would not be active, in that it would not a positive statement or preference and would not have actions taken to directly support it.

I personally would be very happy if we could eliminate the word "white" from that phrase and that we could be working together toward a higher standard of living for everyone that could be equally expected by all, regardless of race or religion or what-have-you.

Agreed.

Agreed.

So is actively recognizing it ans support ideas,laws and programs that are meant to direct address that be enough to not be passively supporting it.

Sadly enough it's all gone. Apparently I text one of my wife's friends and convinced her to send me some revealing selfies. She never told my wife lol. Now I know who to hit up if I'm lonely lol.

don't know anything about all that stuff. Just a chemist workin' in the 'hood.

what really burns me is all this inside chatter users dish out about how superior they are for using chemicals personally. The whole drugged out privileged class who won't roll out and clear the economic ditches. That's the real divide in this nation.

Users sit on their arses and invoke socialist principles to make the rest of us. . . well both of us. . . . support the rest.

The only pill I take is ibuprofen. I'm prone to habituation so I decline prescriptions. I have witnessed the effect of this pill on far too many occasions. The thing that really bothers me about prescription addicts is that their level of denial is enhanced by the legitimacy the doctor provides. Prescriptions transfer responsibility to the doctor and that has it's own side effects. Which is why I pointed out that he should be cautious.

Edit: well that and the thought that he might do something stupid like hit on his wives friend.
