I noticed he left out asian folks... Like my stepson of a previous marriage. ... His skin is not white but does he have an advantage over white folks ... I believe he studied more than most at his school. But then english was his second language.

In the 90's I tried to get into law enforcement with a criminal justice degree. I lost out to other applicants at more than one department because they had a quota to meet. The color of my skin didn't help me at all.

So, this White Privileged thing...

It is a real thing, it is based more on behavior than on skin color.

People don't like to say it's based on how you hold yourself. People don't want to say it's how you come across as confident. People don't want to say it's how you speak and the impression you give about yourself.


It's much easier for them to boil it down to "racism" than anything else because if you defend yourself, they'll put you in a Kafka Trap -- ie, the very denial serves and proof somehow in their twisted logic. It's a failure of logic that allows this bullshit to continue.

There should not be any white professors

Lead by example.

My cousin has one kid from a black guy and one from a white guy about a year apart. They both had the same single mom, absent dad, grew up in the same house, same economic conditions, attended the same school, achieved similar grades, and are about the same as you can get. Only one got a free ride to college - guess which one. (Hint: It wasn't the one with 'privilege')

Spelling and grammar are how people are judged

Same here, although I did eventually get called, but i chose another path by then.

If I were sent to college today I'd be arrested for assault or possibly murder within a week.

Then I’m screwed!!

Funny I went for the state police and the background investigator asked me multiple times if I was of Hispanic heritage and I said no. I’m almost certain if I’d have said yes I’d be retired by next year with a state police pension.
At first it didn’t even cross my mind why he was asking and I said no.

Had to be the absent dad. Obviously.

Time to defund colleges.

Fortune 500 in 2021 two guys go to an interview and they are exactly the same except for skin color one does have an advantage. And it isn’t the white guy.

Me too. I was testing in 93-94, and was finally called for interviews in 97-98. I had moved on by then and would have had to take a pay cut to go into law enforcement. The area took a pretty significant nose dive by that time, too. Although, I could be retired if I went the other path. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision.

Never look back. Push forward. That brass ring will come around again, the winners are the people who have made themselves ready to grab it at first glance.
As we all know in the U.S.A. the streets are paved in gold, you just need to be ready to do the work to pull it up.

Very similar situation besides financially going backwards when i already had financial responsibilities, i had also become a father. But i often think about how id have been retired already. But its probably for the best anyway.
