[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, who exactly benefits from white privilege.  I can see myself a white, upper middle class male being born on third base, but what about white working class ethnic and people derogatorily referred to as rednecks and hillbillies.  When I told my Polish - American friend she benefitted from white priviledge, she responded that she spend two years in a refugee camp before coming to the U.S. and she has earned every single thing she has and that no one can tell her she's "priviledged."

And if you think people who are receiving some government assistance are living the lifestyle of Trump, you are delusional.  Your anger is misdirected.  Ask Trump why he finds it okay to have a gold plated toilet seat and faucets while the very people you say are struggling did not get paid by him.

First, you say my anger is misplaced. [b]I wasn't talking about myself. I was explaining how class whites feel, and why they are angry.[/b] (Actually, you sound sort of angry.) And second, I never said people on gov't assistance live the life of Trump! But there have been studies that show it would take $x amount of dollars in income to equate to the value of gov't asst (sub housing, food stamps, welfare, etc.), and the amount was quite a bit higher than many working class people make.[/quote]You are not talking about yourself but explaining how whites feel.  So, you are the 'voice' of those who are not upper-middle class like yourself.  Actually YOU sound sort of angry.  [/quote]
