[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a white girl that never got any white privilege. I WANT SOME NOW !![/quote]

Yes. You fucking did.

I am a white girl too. 1st in my family to attend college. grandparents came to the US from a backwater town in Italy in the 50s, practically illiterate, dad's parents came as kids. My family still things just going to college equals having been a success. They worked blue collar jobs and still do to build lives from their initial "nest egg" of a few hundred dollars (total!). I was not "privileged" in most any sense, but guess what? I did benefit from being white because I never had to think about shit that people of color routinely have to think about growing up. There is shit I KNOW I am not even aware of that I am sure plenty of women of color take for granted as something to be considered.

Poor as shit white people in America benefit from being white. Period.

Tell that to my grandfather, dad and uncle - all stonemasons (immigrants) working in the South - who were turned away from diners b/c they were "black."

white privilege, my Southern Italian ass

Go study your history on our people in the US.  See how the Southern Italians were treated like shit b/c of skin color.
