I tried to explain white man privilege

[Morrison71]

I work closely with one person. He's a republican so it's been an adventure trying to keep up with him. His go to line was it would be hard for me to get into rap...

Show him Vannila Ice and then show any actual good black rapper of the early 90's that didn't get 1/10th of fame that Ice did

I love when they focus on the privilege part. I always say, "I have some male privilege too, over women of color." Everyone should be able to accept their advantages.

It would be hard for me to get into rap? That's CRAP. White privilege is for real and guess what Howie? No DEAL

 

[Regulus Tera]

Just tell him that the Covington kids would have been shot at had they been brown

 

[JK-Money]

White people be ignoring everything that gives them the advantage

How do you miss Eminem?

White privilege doesn't exist because it's tough to break into rap? No good for Jheri Curl? Let me guess, affirmative action is stealing up all the positions for minorities, racism is dead, welfare queen lives large and Whatever else nonsense.

For a white male to understand white privilege, it takes some introspection, which some people are (seemingly) incapable of. Really, they don't want to see it either, as they believe then it diminishes whatever life successes they would like to wholly contribute to themselves.

Wait, are you asking me that? If so, the "highest selling rap artist" is referring to Eminem.

You did phrase it as a question, and then didnt name Eminem but did name other white rappers...

Did you laugh when he said that to you OP? I would find it hard not to, that's a pretty ridiculous response.

I mean, I thought it would be self explanatory. What other white rapper would I be referring to.

 

[Ryaaan14]

My fave part of the story was when the author describes how it's been an adventure keeping up w him

 

[HotHamBoy]

There's not a lot of meat on these bones, OP.

 

[Mahonay]

Are we just making threads with non sequiturs now?

 

[Notaskwid]

This is why I don't make threads.

 

[JayC3]

We don't see this thread generating productive conversation, so we're locking it.
