Numerous studies have proven that, in America today, white people are more privileged than black people. We are not dealing with overt racism, but with a subtle form of prejudice that most people do not even know they are guilty of.

White privilege gives some the benefit of the doubt

White people nearly always get the benefit of the doubt, but black people rarely ever do. White people are considered hard working until they prove themselves to be lazy, but black people are considered lazy until they prove to be hard working. White people are considered safe until they prove themselves to be dangerous, but black people are considered dangerous until they prove themselves to be safe. White people are considered to be intelligent until they prove themselves to be unintelligent, but black people are considered to be unintelligent until they prove themselves to be intelligent.

This may not seem important, but studies have shown that, even with exactly the same resume, white people are significantly more likely to be called back for a job. Studies have shown that, even when a white person was clearly in the wrong, eye witnesses are significantly more likely to believe that a black person who was present committed a crime.

If nothing else, this means that, in that split second when a police officer sees a suspect reaching into his pocket and he has to make an instinctual decision whether to use deadly force, he is more likely to do so with a black individual and take the risk with a white individual.

In America, we subject an entire race of people to this unfair treatment. Then we force them all to live together in low income, dangerous, inner city, impoverished areas. Then we send white police officers into their communities who often expect them to be criminals in the first place. Then those white police officers mistreat them and often wrongfully kill them. Then we expect them to smile and take it. We call them animals when they take to the streets with violence because they can’t stand anymore. From start to finish, we treat them as if they are less human than white people who live in the suburbs.

White privilege allows the subliminal race based redefinition of what constitutes violence

I know many white people, for example, who often say that, if the government ever tried to take their guns, they would take to the streets in violence and kill any police officer or soldier who got in their way. If this were to happen, I believe many Americans would respect them for doing this and few people would compare them to animals or say that they are disgracing their race. I do not understand why it is considered so much more just for white people to take to the streets to protect their guns than it is for black people to take to the streets when an unjust system of white privilege has caused them to lose all hope.

White privilege prevents the unity necessary to attack the real systemic problem

Don’t get me wrong. I am not making excuses for people who commit crimes. Any person who destroys the property of another should be punished. But instead of directing all of our anger to these desperate people who feel that they have no other choice, why don’t we direct our anger toward a system that has made them this desperate? Why don’t we direct our energy to bringing about change? Why don’t we end the system of privilege that advantages white people over black people every day, give everyone a fair shot, let all people be innocent until proven guilty, and fight for a more just world? Why don’t we fight the wealth inequality that plagues working people of all races? Why don’t we get mad at the corporations, political action committees, and lobbyists who take advantage of us all? Do we really want our children to grow up with the same problems our parents grew up with? If not, then let’s stop with the stereotypes and fight to change this broken system.

We are all equally human and we all deserve a fair chance. As I wrote in a post the other day, no person is better than any other. We have to see it that way. I am a white college professor with a masters degree, but I am no better than the people rioting in the streets. I just got a little more lucky somewhere along the way.

Bio

Egberto WilliesEgberto Willies is a political activist, author, political blogger, radio show host, business owner, software developer, web designer, and mechanical engineer in Kingwood, TX. Egberto is an ardent Liberal that believes tolerance is essential. His favorite phrase is “political involvement should be a requirement for citizenship”. He believes that we must get away from the current policies that reward those who simply move money/capital and produce nothing tangible for our society. If a change in policy does not occur, America will be no different than many oligarchic societies where a few are able to accumulate wealth while the rest are left out because it is mathematically impossible to catch up.

Egberto is:

Credibility quotient:

-100

This guy is a revolutionary, radical "Occupy" Commie-Fascist, and hypocrite who owns his own business but won't share the profit with fellow Commies. IOW, a Typical limousine liberal.

Egberto one more crusader and fraud hoping to invade and trash your safe, white suburban town or hamlet as the co-organizer of 'Occupy Suburbia': 'Where The Battle Of [Leftist] Ideas Must Be Won.'

Egberto is also a HuffPo and KOS "contributor" of tearing down America. "Peacefully." HA!

He's right. He's blaming crackahs: 'The Baltimore riots within the context of White Privilege'

Black people call this "profiling". I call it "a lifetime of observed behavior". And Jesse agrees with me.

Blacks brought this on themselves. In general, way too many times they eventually end up fitting the stereotype. And don't blame that on whitey.

Yet another successful negro (Egberto) telling us white people how we be suppressing the black man.

I'd say he has zero credibility.

Egberto Willies is not the author. He just posted the author's piece on his personal website.

The author is a white college professor in Houston, TX.

The point (or joke) is....He and his fellow race "victims" can still claim poverty, racism, and a lack of civil rights...from behind his mansion, behind his successful business desk, or from within his touch-screen Beemer.

Yup. It was Jesse who admitted nervousness (aka "racism") when approached by a group of young black men.

Blacks brought this on themselves. In general, way too many times they eventually end up fitting the stereotype. And don't blame that on whitey.

Absolutely. And yet in guilty-white liberal academic circles, they'd consider your observational truth, "racism."

In a heartbeat. This way they don't have to discuss it, despite their pleas for a "racial dialogue".
