Milwaukee, WI
Quoted from tomlogic:No one is saying privilege means you have an easy life.
Can the White men on here actually say, with a straight face, "my life would have been better/easier if I had been born a woman/Black"?
What a joke of a question.. Racist statements are bad, blanket generalizations and stereotypes good?
The problem with this thread, and all corporations pushing these “diversity” plans- is there is no appreciation for the diversity already present. Little appreciation for the loyal customers you have already. You don’t count because you are white, rich and fat? All white people are not the same, any statement to the contrary is divisive. What happened to measuring people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin? I’m glad I’m not a young, white, straight male making his way up the corporate ladder- you have little chance of making senior vp or higher kid.
I’ve seen black men in rolls Royces. I’ve seen beautiful, white, blonde women dying in jail from meth. Life is about owning whatever you are given and making it work. And then helping those around you that are true to you. If you want to sit around wondering what your life would have been if you were born a black woman, knock yourself out. Then wonder what your life would have been like being born a strong Irish Catholic lad in the hell of Connaught in the late 1830s. I’m sure he had a rosy time because all white people did.
Squeaky wheels get the grease, the dry engine burns...
Anybody want a quintessential story of this time, look up what happened in Milwaukee yesterday involving two (not really)missing 12 yr olds. Be sure to read article from today of who actually owned the house.
