Is White Privilege Real?

Not exactly an imbalance. There are genuine differences between people, and obviously there are norms among groups that would 'naturally' favor the interests of those groups. It isn't always about privileged or neglect by any intention.

Take the current backlash against the predominantly white justice system. What you're experiencing is the unease of white-priveledge being impugned. It's the feeling of equality forging inroads (at least, attempting to) across generations of white contentment, whilst your cries of inequities are at best....ironic.

LOL @ "priveledge", you irrational, villainous, murderous, drug-addled savage.

Are you sure you didn't want the word, 'privilege', you semi-literate, baby-murdering, Satan-serving beast?

P-R-I-V-I-L-E-G-E

Is the ability to look up, in a dictionary, a word you don't know, something you would call "white-priveledge"?;)

Interesting that you'd force the issue. It fairly makes me the color you paint me whether I care about that color or not, and you are the guy that has the 'us/them' signature, not me. You've some identity stuff going on behind such statements. As long as mistrust is alive, no matter how well we set up equity, we aren't ever going to be able to make headway. The door is closed regardless and only the guy on the other side of the door can rightfully open it.

There was no actual need for a hyphen anyway.

Well, in order to be grammatically correct, there was, in fact, a need for a hyphen. That's why I put the hyphen there. See, 'drug-addled' is a compound adjective, Professor. And I used that compound adjective to modify the noun, 'savage'. It's hilarious that you're supposedly from England, and yet you're so stupid when it comes to (among many other things) the English language.

Only when they act like childish morons, who if older should know better.

Well, at least you admit that you have an obsession with asking people if they're 12. It's funny that you think that all people who are 12 are childish morons. Obviously, in your view, to ask someone if he or she is 12 is one and the same thing as to ask him or her if he or she is a childish moron.


How so?

Um, no, the hyphen still isn't actually needed but hey, you must rock the dance floor at parties!

On the contrary, it's actually needed, at the very least, in order to be grammatically correct.

How many times did you need to tell yourself that it isn't, though, in order to believe that it isn't?

If you think it's not just your drug-addled mind making up your fictitious rule out of thin air, then, by all means, please feel free to cite from what "authoritative" source you imagine you have learned it.:)

Oh, 414 times. I even counted them.

Otherwise, nope.

I taught 12 year olds. 7th grade. They could be fun in a classroom if they were kept busy. When they were bored the childish behaviors would surface. None of them were morons.

I preferred teaching older kids - high school juniors or seniors usually. I always enjoyed teaching the AP classes and the chemistry and physics classes for that reason.

I'm not forcing anything, the disenfranchised of this country seem to be the ones forcing things while your response is to dismiss their actual plight..... only to highlight their violence.
It's a convenient criticism, one where you're enjoying the privilege of comfortably sitting back and cherry-picking your opinion on the issue. Your response is to slam that door in their face and lock it.....and then wonder why there's such animosity and mistrust?
