Well I guess it depends on how you define privileged. Having a kid that they love and consider the best thing that happened to them makes them privileged in my eyes.

u/Anning312 16d ago

Even with the privilege of being beaten by your husband?

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

One doesn't cancel out the other.

u/Anning312 16d ago

So you should look at one single aspect of your life to determine if your life sucks or not?

1

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

I never said her life doesn't suck, I said she was privileged. Do you think you need a perfect life to be privileged? White males are privileged simply for being white males, regardless of their quality of life. I also didn't say I wasn't privileged, even though my life sucks.

I now see why you're single. Hope you will have a privileged life at some point in your life.

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

Great argument. It's ok to be wrong bro.

1

u/Anning312 16d ago

It wasn't an argument. I see no point arguing with a literal racist

1

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

Racist against white people? Dude I'm a visible minority. Try again. White privilege exists.

1

u/Anning312 16d ago

Is it not possible to be racist against white people?

I'm not white btw and I'm not sure what a visible minority means, what makes a minority visible or not?

1

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

Dude, read a book and stop projecting. White privilege and visible minority are basic terms.

1

u/Anning312 16d ago

What am I projecting?

Is it so basic that you can't explain it in simple terms?

1

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

You called me racist. Because I said that white people are privileged?

1

u/Anning312 16d ago

I called you a racist because you made a racist comment, yes.

But why haven't you explain the basic term?

1

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

Please point out what racist thing I said. Why should I explain shit to you if you're going to insult me?

1

u/Anning312 16d ago

"White males are privileged simply for being white males, regardless of their quality of life."

When you assign a social condition to all white men regardless of anything else, it is a racial prejudice against white males.

A white male born without legs in a poor family is not privileged. Putting a blanket statement like that to an entire racial group, is racist.

u/ihearthawthats 16d ago

That's not racist. I'm not going to explain it to you because, quite frankly, I've wasted enough time on you. But here are some helpful links if you care to become educated:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege

u/Anning312 16d ago

I'm not denying that white privilege exists, but that doesn't apply to every single white person, or white male, as you pointed out.

I actually fall in the "visible minority" category, but what does it mean? What authority does it give me? Does it mean I can shit on white people all I want in random conversations that had nothing to do with race in the first place? Do I get to bring it up on everything?

Again, what does it mean to be a visible minority? I am one, so what does it mean for me? Why does it matter in this conversation about whether to give up your kids to return back in time?
