First and foremost, this asinine claim of “white privilege” existing is absurd. Anyone who purports this garbage must acknowledge and accept that there is then black privilege, Asian privilege, brown privilege, India(n) privilege, Native Indian privilege, Eskimo privilege, Middle Eastern privilege, Arabian privilege, so on and so forth. You cannot have one without having all the others.
Thank you for demonstrating that you have no idea what privilege means.
the 3/5ths compromise had absolutely nothing to do with so-called “white privilege” and everything to do with congressional representation
Clearly, you didn’t bother to read a word of what I said.
As I already explained, the reason for bringing up the compromise was not to argue that the compromise itself somehow benefited white people, it was to demonstrate how absurdly unequally our nation treated individuals primarily based on their skin color. It is all the proof any rational individual needs to recognize that there certainly existed white privileged in this country.
Continuing to strawman that point is not a rebuttal.
the 3/5ths compromise had nothing to do with counting slaves in the census as actual persons, you flippant ignoramus.
Enlighten me… How did the government count the number of slaves who lived in each state in order to determine proper congressional representation and proper taxation?
Fourth, your dumbed down post only benefited you, @Double_R. Stupid is as stupid does in order to comprehend stupid.
Calling me stupid is not a valid argument. Clearly you do not plan on answering the question, I suspect because you know what a ridiculous proposition it is to suggest that anyone would rather go back to 1800’s America as a black person instead of a white person.
So keep dodging it all day long, every person reading this knows what your answer would be.
Third, blacks owned slaves too; an obvious inconvenient fact that Double-R ignored when I mentioned it (no surprise).
I ignored it because it’s a nonsense argument. It’s a common tactic by those who are just plain wrong to try and save face by taking an obscure exception and misrepresenting it as the norm in order to try and paint a false narrative of reality.
In 1830 the percentage of slaves who had black masters was approximately 0.6%, and many of those masters were of mixed race. The idea that we should be talking about this fact in the context of understanding whether white privilege existed in this country is patently absurd.
Ignoring my comments and the truths they convey = silence which = concession to those truths. Proves you don’t know what you’re talking about. So thank you for that concession.
lol wow someone is full of themselves.
Sorry to break your ego stroking “I owned the lib” session here, turns out I actually have a job and can’t sit on this site all day long. I respond when I can get to it. I know, shocking.
