Hey kids, it's a white privilege checklist!

Hey kids, it's a white privilege checklist!
an oldie but a goodie: Peggy McIntosh's Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack
http://www.amptoons.com/blog/files/mcintosh.html
The following are examples of ways white individuals have privilege because they are white. Please read the list and place a check next to the privileges that apply to you or that you have encountered. At the end, try to list at least two more ways you have privilege based on your race.
_ 1. I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
_ 2. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed.
_ 3. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
_ 4. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
_ 5. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.
_ 6. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the food I grew up with, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can deal with my hair.
_ 7. Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial responsibility.
_ 8. I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing, or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race.
_ 9. I can worry about racism without being seen as self-interested or self-seeking.
_ 10. I can take a job or enroll in a college with an affirmative action policy without having my co-workers or peers assume I got it because of my race.
_ 11. I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my race.
_ 12. I can choose public accommodation with out fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated.
_ 13. I am never asked to speak for all of the people of my racial group.
_ 14. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk with the "person in charge" I will be facing a person of my race.
_ 15. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race.
_ 16. I can easily by posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children’s magazines featuring people of my race.
_ 17. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh†color and have them more or less match my skin.
_ 18. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.
_ 19. I can walk into a classroom and know I will not be the only member of my race.
_ 20. I can enroll in a class at college and be sure that the majority of my professors will be of my race.
Sound familiar? Think about this and remember it the next time you're about to tell a person of color that "it's not about race" and "you're being too sensitive," or that, God help us, they're "racist against white people." Whatever problems white people may face due to their skin color just don't begin to compare. And the sooner we realize that, the more effectively we can begin work to minimize our own participation in institutional racism.

Here are just a few of well over one thousand rights a marriage licence bestows. Tell you what. When I get the rights listed below I'll make a huge effort to give a flying **** about your whine list.
The right to visit a spouse in the hospital This can be accomplished by your significant other upon admission to the facility! They make exceptions to the rules if the patient requests it! I should know, I been there enough times!
The right to make medical decisions for a sick spouse It's called Power of Attorney, idiot!
The right to make funeral arrangements for a deceased spouse It's called Power of Attorney, idiot!
Access to family courts for dissolution of relationships If you're not married, just why do you need this? In this case, bein' married is worse! Just ask Paul McCartney! One of your heroes!
Death benefits for surviving spouses of firefighters and police officers It's called a will, stooooopid!
Mutual responsibility for debts This one is halarious! Like you people pay bills!
Joint assessment of income for determining eligibility for state government assistance programs Another hoot! You get a better deal by bein' single, espacially if you have kids!
Ability to sponsor a spouse from another country for a green card Yeah, right! I forgot about you needin' to "game" the system to help illegals! Not needed!
Community property ownership protections Ever heard of a contract between two parties??
Child custody, visitation, and duties of financial support to children Uh, since it is impossible for you to create this situation, it needs no comment!
Eligibility for health benefits (without taxation) and COBRA benefits through an employer Everyone in America has this! how come you don't? Hell I can insure my dogs, and you expect me to believe you can't add a fudgepacker?
Ability to take leave to care for a sick spouse under the Family and Medical Leave Act This is BS! Not every American has this in their bennies to start with! If you work for an asshole, expect to be treated as same!
Right to inherit a spouse's pension Again, it's called a will!
Entitlement to inherit social security and disability benefits upon the death of a spouse Can't help ya with this one! It's the price ya have to pay for bein' a pervert!
Ability to inherit jointly owned property without incurring tax penalties Hell, not even dependents get this if your buds in congress can help it! You vote for the tax and steal party, remember?
Right to file joint income taxes Ever heard of "Head of Household"? Same ****in' thing!
Ability to put a spouse on the deed to a home without incurring tax penalties This ones BS! You can put anyone on a deed ya want, idiot!
Access to "family memberships" I doubt the Families would want your perverted ass around anyway! This ones just a pity Party!
Domestic violence protections Ya don't watch "Cops" do ya? This has been around for years, no matter your perversion of choice!
Immunity from testifying against a spouse Like you never heard of not cooperatin' with the prosecution! Besides, if they need your testimony, yer spouse more than likely really ****ed up! Why would you defend her/him?
Right to sue for wrongful death of a spouse In civil court, you can sue for wrongful death of an ant if you can get some sleaze bag lawyer to take yer case! All you have to do is show cause!
What you want is special privileges! Sorry pal, our Constitution don't work that way, or at least it's not supposed to! You and your ilk are sure as hell tryin' to change that though, aren't ya, asshat?
-
_ 20. I can enroll in a class at college and be sure that the majority of my professors will be of my race.
Um, who gives a damn about that? I had good & bad college professors, but never cared what race or gender they were.

My, my, my, but don't we sound like a bitter white klinger today. This is why we need to take away all your guns and bibles.
[/dumpmode]
Great list but well beyond the range of dummy comprehension. :tongue:
-
Ha, I was going to get this one, but you were faster. This race-baiting rant on the part of "kpete" has been around for at least twenty years. He's trying to push all the white liberal guilt buttons here again, it worked well for them two years ago. The above rebuttal is excellent.
-
:racist:
That's right. Just show up being white and you got it "made in the shade", right?? Wrong answer. It doesn't work that way DUmmie, sorry to disappoint you with the race card.
-
...and if you're white, they expect more from you.

As a "privileged" white girl, I've been pulled over so many times by cops. I've been able to get out of many of those would-be tickets though. I highly doubt it had anything to do with me being white.
And about being pulled over for being anything but white, give me a break. My windows on my car are blacked out. The fronts are not as dark as the rear (limo tint), but with the windows up, you can't tell who is driving that car. I could be doing 80 mph down Las Vegas Blvd and I'm going to get pulled over for being a douchebag, not because I *MIGHT* be black or Hispanic.

Being a hot chick still has some sway with law enforcement. :-)

More than likely it had more to do with "cup" size! In any case, you prolly have most DUmmies beat in that department, too! Well the girls, anyway! snicker!

Where's the list that would be reflective of the black neighborhood in Brooklyn where I'm from? where I was called "Honky" and "Cracker", used as an endearing term of course on a regular basis.
-
Um, who gives a damn about that? I had good & bad college professors, but never cared what race or gender they were.
Maybe those white liberal professors should give up their jobs to minority applicants?

Hey kids, it's a ridiculously-dated white privilege checklist from before the affirmative action and the EEOC, about what life was like forty years ago, well, what it was like according to Liberals anyway!
:whatever:
-
Oh yeah just because I am white I just sail right through life. :whatever:
Minorities have more privilege than anyone. Don't believe me then why is it congress can have a black caucus? That's right congress who is supposed to represent every race in their district can have a group devoted to the advancement of people who share the same skin pigmentation. If anyone even suggested a Caucasian caucus they would be run out of town because that would be considered racist.
Need another example? Chris Rock is allowed to bust on us crackers but, if a white comedian busted on black folks he would be run out of town too.

Well, idiot, if you're black and it bothers you that much to hang out with the white majority, move your ass to Africa and you will not be the minority any more.
In fact, all of you people of any ethnicity who have problems with American society, please feel free to move the **** away to where you will be happier.

_ 1. I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time. Name one place
_ 2. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed. My kid is white, is followed everywhere. It has a lot more to do with his dress than his race.
_ 3. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented. I see all races represented, but almost nothing Christian that reflects truth. Weird, huh?
_ 4. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is. Yeah, so am I...which is why I hear "reparations" and "white privilege" all the time, despite the things that happened to oh, say, white Irish people or Catholics...
_ 5. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race. I can be sure my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the faith of everyone except the majority of the country.
_ 6. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the food I grew up with, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can deal with my hair. Music that represents your race? Maybe you should see to it that the language is cleaned up considerably if you want it broadcast everywhere!! :rotf:
-

When the DUmmies have posted pictures of their "real life" gatherings, they have all been white, I think. :rotf:

Yup!
A boob flash to male cops got many a woman out of a ticket.

Oh! another stereotype type broken, that all white people grow up in lily white neighborhoods.
Yep!
_ 1. I can arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.Good luck finding them. 75% of my graduating class was a different race than mine.
_ 2. I can go shopping alone most of the time, pretty well assured that I will not be followed or harassed. No. I have been accosted several times by 'minority youth'
_ 3. I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented. I'm from DC
_ 4. When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is. More attention payed to black history month than anything else in my schooling.
_ 5. I can be sure that my children will be given curricular materials that testify to the existence of their race.Only to tell us that we are the bad guys
_ 6. I can go into a music shop and count on finding the music of my race represented, into a supermarket and find the food I grew up with, into a hairdresser’s shop and find someone who can deal with my hair. Tell that to the last person other than my race that screwed up a simple trim on my hair
_ 7. Whether I use checks, credit cards, or cash, I can count on my skin color not to work against the appearance of financial responsibility. No most seem to be using EBT cards and proud of it
_ 8. I am not made acutely aware that my shape, bearing, or body odor will be taken as a reflection on my race. I was told that all white people smell like wet dogs
_ 9. I can worry about racism without being seen as self-interested or self-seeking. Really?
_ 10. I can take a job or enroll in a college with an affirmative action policy without having my co-workers or peers assume I got it because of my race.If the shoe fits
_ 11. I can be late to a meeting without having the lateness reflect on my race.No you are late because you were late
_ 12. I can choose public accommodation with out fearing that people of my race cannot get in or will be mistreated.Really? Most of the public housing is utilized by those not of my race
_ 13. I am never asked to speak for all of the people of my racial group.No because it is automatically assumed that I am a racist
_ 14. I can be pretty sure that if I ask to talk with the "person in charge" I will be facing a person of my race.Once again I grew up in the DC area
_ 15. If a traffic cop pulls me over or if the IRS audits my tax return, I can be sure I haven't been singled out because of my race. I don't get pulled over because I obey the traffic laws and I pay my taxes so I have never been audited
_ 16. I can easily by posters, postcards, picture books, greeting cards, dolls, toys, and children’s magazines featuring people of my race.I will remember that when I look through the African American section at the library
_ 17. I can choose blemish cover or bandages in “flesh†color and have them more or less match my skin.The are out there
_ 18. I can do well in a challenging situation without being called a credit to my race.No you would just assume that I was given special consideration because of my race
_ 19. I can walk into a classroom and know I will not be the only member of my race.That has happened to me a few times
_ 20. I can enroll in a class at college and be sure that the majority of my professors will be of my race.See above
Something tells me that the DUmmy that posted this list has never been out of their gated, lily white community.

Not to mention all the special rights given to ILLEGAL "undocumented" border crashers.

42. Change "Race" to "Class" and even if white, you can still forget many of those things... especially
if you are homeless.
But, talking about class issues is so.....declasse', is it not?

Uh Boudi, I think we're prolly talkin' coyote tail here!
Maybe a chainsaw would be better! As I'm gettin' older, and I know some here are close to my, er....antiqueness, my teeth may not be able to chew my arm off in order to prevent wakin' the sleaz up!
Yeah, a chainsaw, that's the ticket! That and somethin' to counteract the drugs we musta got slipped in order for such a rendezvous to happen in the first place!!! Arsenic comes to mind!

I grew up in East St. Louis. Yeah that E. St. Louis.

Now, now, DUmmies think we all live in gated communities because we can't associate with any other race!

-
What you want is special privileges! Sorry pal, our Constitution don't work that way, or at least it's not supposed to! You and your ilk are sure as hell tryin' to change that though, aren't ya, asshat?
Great post, the whole thing.

No, I think for that we're talking stall wall glory hole only, and the necessary industrial-strength condom would render the whole thing pointless anyway.
