I will repeat, the original point of my earlier reply was to stop comparing the black man's struggles to those of other minorities. All those groups still have it bad today in one way or another. Divide and conquer--many people fall for it.

When a white woman talks about her struggles in a world run by privileged men, people shut up and listen.

When a white disabled person talks their struggles in a world run by privileged abled people, people shut up and listen.

When a white homosexual talks aout their struggles in a world run by privileged heterosexuals, people shut up and listen.

When white trans gender people talks about their struggles in a world run by privileged cisgender people, people shut up and listen.

When people of color talk about their struggles in a wolrd run by privileged white people, they are told to sit down and shut up.

All the while while those same white people accuse them of 'reverse racism.'

Go fucking figure.

Absolutely not!


Who and were in this thread could you find a person who did not acknowledge that white priviledge exists?


Your statement is really not true.

You did not read the postst here.

black president has had to deal with and still now as we speak that no white

president before him has had to deal with.

Go fucking figure.

According to Unholyalliance, Obama is of mixed heritage and therefore doesn't have to deal with racism like real black men.

Go fucking figure.

Well you know the rule if you're half black and half white you're considered black

by the good ol boys.

Hell yes, the one-drop rule is still very much in effect.

I most certainly did not.

One of the most blatant forms of evidence of white privilege is not being expected to speak for or represent an entire racial group.

President Obama is not all black people. Black people everyday, everywhere are expected to "represent" in many social situations where they are in the minority and their actions dictate as to how "they" (all encompassing) are viewed by whites. George Bush was never expected to represent all black people; nor was his ascension to the white house. I spoke in my earlier about not needing to have a unanimous outcome in order to be considered privileged. Just because there is a President Obama and an Oprah Winfrey doesn't mean everything is cool.

This thread is not about gay/transgender privilege in music but if it were, the FACTS are there are plenty of gay people in the music business, all the way up to the top echelons in the field and NOOOBODY cares. The music busniess is one of the most liberal fields of industry. White privilege is not dying and has not faded and frankly, if you aren't a person of color, you have no right to say it has. You have no point of vantage upon which to assess it.

Unholyalliance needs to understand that regardless if Obama is mixed, his appearance reflects that of many Black males in public, by societal standards, and yes he does experience racial prejudice like most 'real' black men. All one has to do is remember the nasty, racist treatment he has received from many Republicans, tea party members/followers, and non-Obama supporters, and racists who still have a problem with a person of color as President.

If Unholyalliance did his/her homework she/he would know that many who are of black/white mixture, who appear 'black' by societal standards, whether light-skinned or darker-skinned will face racial prejudice at some point in their lives in this country. Besides, having a white parent doesn't give him any special privileges, especially since White Americans are not superior human beings. They come from the same root of the human tree as all humans on this earth, whether anyone wants to believe it or not. It's racist and false teachings that were taught to many in the past, that have many White Americans, not all of course, believing they are of some, superior race, yet that superior race has never existed nore will it ever, and it is a shame that such false teachings have been passed off as 'truth'.

If Unholyalliance saw two light-skinned black males, and one was of biracial parentage and the other from two Black American parents, he/she may not be abke to tell the difference of which one was of biracial parentage. For example, Lenny Kravitz, although from mixed parentage, reflects the appearance of a Black male. Most would not know he is of mixed parentage, if they didn't know of him because he is a known musician, and he would be identified by most in society as a Black male, because that is the appearance he reflects.

We are all in agreement here that white privilege is not dying and has not faded.

Exactly, just added a few categories that get systematically portrayed as dumb, stupid and only usefull for sex (women) or as sex praying, childish, irresponsible weird people (gay people).
