Live and let live.<BR/><BR/>What a load of crap, Manda- exactly WHAT "unnoticed" priveledges do whites get that minorities don't? If you ask me it's the other way round. The minorities get all the "privileges" and whites are having to "pay" for crap that happened to minorities generations ago. Where's the justice in THAT?<BR/>How long are we going to have to keep paying for it?Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560751901355240488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-67926019457547013392007-10-18T12:05:00.000-04:002007-10-18T12:05:00.000-04:00minorities get noticeable privileges bc whites get...minorities get noticeable privileges bc whites get unnoticed privileges... not saying that all of the privileges are right, but that's generally what affirmative action is for. to compensate for the white privilege minorities don't haveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-20981974963317295602007-10-17T13:36:00.000-04:002007-10-17T13:36:00.000-04:00I feel totally different after living over in the ...I feel totally different after living over in the UK and having hateful things yelled at me just because I'm American. <BR/><BR/>And I've been told that the laws that protect people from racism doesn't include Americans who are not citizens. I find that a little hard to swallow. I work here but I'm not protected by the laws.

I was only talking about the area of comedy.<BR/><BR/>As for white privalege, I agree, but that works both ways too.<BR/><BR/>In my last job, there was a 'program' where if you were Pakistani (England's biggest immigrant group), you could sign up, get training, and extra 100 a week bursary and be put on a fast-track to management.<BR/><BR/>So, an extra hundred a week and a management position inside a year, just for being pakistani. Is that fair?<BR/><BR/>If that's not a special privalege I don't know what is.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-39700017326457113262007-10-16T11:11:00.000-04:002007-10-16T11:11:00.000-04:00I was going to say something witty about the pot c...I was going to say something witty about the pot calling the kettle black, but I didn't want to come across as racist.OzzyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370847672541662503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-71746625208213283082007-10-16T10:04:00.000-04:002007-10-16T10:04:00.000-04:00oh lol, i still disagree that 99% of the ppl who c...oh lol, i still disagree that 99% of the ppl who cry racism are white. haha<BR/><BR/><BR/>but i mean i've taken so many race classes, it's hard to completely see where you're coming from<BR/>just bc i guess i've learned it all from the academic stand-point.. that white people have this invisible privilege <I>because</I> they are WHITE. <BR/><BR/>whereas I still feel as if chris rock vs. adam sandler are two different situations. I don't know anything that he says other than movies, so i can't compare how he is in movies vs. what he says elsewhere. <BR/><BR/>everytime i think of chris rock i get him and chris tucker confused... rush hour was funny.!? lol.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-41516623505200053882007-10-16T05:05:00.000-04:002007-10-16T05:05:00.000-04:00I think Carlos Mencia put it best.

He said:<BR/><BR/>"If you're a black guy and have a bumper sticker that says 'black and proud of it', no-one's going to say shit. If you're a white guy and put a bumper sticker that says "White and proud of it" on your car, you're going have WHITE people pulling your ass over."<BR/><BR/>I liked the way he finished best though.<BR/><BR/>"If you really want to see how bad white folks have it, they all agree with what I've said, but a mexican has to go on TV and say it FOR them."<BR/><BR/>The funny part of the whole situation is that 99.9% of the people who cry racism tend to be white people.Pauliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01709405037488442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12497746.post-20482413460262279712007-10-16T01:55:00.000-04:002007-10-16T01:55:00.000-04:00Racism sucks whichever way you look at it, and I a...Racism sucks whichever way you look at it, and I agree with you on this. Chris Rocks comment as racist - plain and simple.<BR/><BR/>It comes down to that old chestnut "If you can't take it, don't dish it out"<BR/><BR/>One of my pet peeves is when job applications state "We particularly welcome applications from ethnic minorities"..........WTF!!!
