Again what is your view of Jewish people. My parents had a swastika spray painted on their house. Pretty sure most "white" people don't have to worry about that. I don't consider that a disadvantage. That girl, who frivolously spent her tax refund on a Barney's bag got $500k. So much for that disadvantage. Laws are here to protect people from being taken advantage off. Her inconvenience was well compensated.

Do you think it is easier growing up a Christian in this country than a Jew? Don't dodge. Answer. And you keep dodging the question of how you feel about Jews.

Waiting.....

Absolutely, there’s Christian privilege.

There’s also economic privilege, sexual orientation privilege, gender privilege, etc.

Eh...man you are going down a slippery slope. If that is your definition then by all means privilege all around. LOL.

I think your definition differs from that of TP.

So lastly, what are your personal thoughts on Jews. Be honest.

It’s not a slippery slope. It’s reality. Our society, for the most part, just assumes everyone celebrates Christmas. Essentially the entire country shuts down. You wouldn’t have to worry, for example, that your kid’s baseball team would schedule a game on Christmas. That would be nuts. Everyone just assumes it won’t happen. Privilege.

Last fall, four kids on my son’s baseball team weren’t available for a tournament because of Yom Kippur. They don’t enjoy the same privilege that Christians do.

I have no issues with Jewish people.

You're making my point. We all face certain advantages and disadvantages. Some more than others. Does a 6'2, handsome, rich, Christian, male face the least? Probably, yes.

And being white is one of that guy’s many privileges. Thanks for agreeing with me.

One of but not the primary. Wealth is the primary.

I’m not arguing size, I’m arguing existence.

Size matters.

LOL

I's? You mean mine?

I agree that there are racists and people in companies who are racists. But your definition is not what my definition is or ever will be. I consider privilege something special and I don't consider being white to be special. You obviously do because you are racist. Which proves my point.

Tell me again how Pat Mahomes is the next Tom Brady. LOL.

Dude, I am not a racist. I don't know why you keep saying that I am.

Yes/No:
Do you agree that white privilege exists, going off of BL's definition?

Don't use my logic against me. Nice try. If BL said all 6'3 people are awesome and you asked me do you agree that anyone who is 6'3 is awesome based on BL's definition, then I would have to reply in the affirmative.

I think his definition is highly flawed. But nice try. And you are racist because privileged means special. Actually let's see:

"Having special rights, advantages, or immunities"

Being white does not give me any special rights, advantages or immunities. So....I think you need to go back to writing about 6th grade soccer.

If BL did make that statement, the definition in question would be referring to either 'Awesome' or '6'3'. You certainly would not have to say yes.

I have stated many times that I don't prefer to use the term 'white privilege'. If you think that 'white privilege' has negative connotations (you are right), then we don't have to use that term. If your definition of privilege is what you listed above, then I agree that there is no white privilege. We can agree on two things here.

1. Not to use the term white privilege
2. No one in this discussion is racist.

I will answer that last one since (whether you like it or not) I am both.

There are very few people who will actively dislike me because I say I am a Christian. Pundits on Fox News and Breitbart actively promote (wrongly) what they think my 'agenda' should be.

I have been actively disliked and hated for being of Jewish descent. Some viewers of Fox and Breitbart want me dead.

It is much easier to be a Christian in the USA.

tangplay is beginning to grow on me. Even if we disagree on most things, he is earning my respect.

With all due sincerity, there are plenty of people on the left who want you dead as well. Anti-Semitism has adherents on both sides.
