White Fragility is a state in which even a minimum amount of racial stress be- comes intolerable, triggering a range of defensive moves. These moves include the outward display of emotions such as anger, fear, and guilt, and behaviors such as argumentation, silence, and leaving the stress-inducing situation.  Do you think it is a real thing? Or do you deny it?

Anyone who's saying "no" I feel is not understanding what white privilege means. It doesn't mean all white people have it easy and all black people have it hard. It doesn't mean that you're not capable of having a tough life because of your whiteness, or that any of your hardships should be dismissed because you are white.
Best simple explanation I read on reddit once: White privilege isn't some thing where every white person is born with a silver spoon in their mouth (although because of family history, land ownership there are greater chances of wealth being passed down for some non immigrant families)

Yes. Whites are indisputably better off on average. But that's all it is--On average. Acknowledging that is just basic logic. If you accept that there is even a modicum of discrimination in society (Proving which, scientifically, is not very difficult--Look at work application studies where they test application call backs by name alone), be it both black on white and white on black, it then stands to reason that that race with the most social capitol (Whites, obviously, comprise the vast majority of wealthy and influential citizens in the West) would thus disadvantage blacks (And of course other minorities) to some degree, even if it is minor or nearly negligible.

Obviously. It's given the name white privilege because that has a specific significance in America and any of the west that is a white majority, historically white patriarchal society. Again, white privilege isn't saying that in every country in every circumstance, white people have it better. It's a western-centric term that has context.

In those cultures there is definitely a priviledge to being Muslim or Japanese ect. If we were living in and discussing those cultures, we would then probably call it "Muslim Priviledge" or "Japanese Priviledge". No one who has immigrated to Japan would not try to convince you there is no priviledge for being Japanese in Japan (Although Japan is an odd situation--In some ways it is legitimately better to be an immigrant).

When people what to bring up negative stats about black people they use percentages to make it more dramatic since there are less of us. When you want to defend stuff like this with white people you use population size instead of percentages. That's cute.

One of the biggest white privileges is being blind to the fact that you have white privilege. You don't see the injustices being committed against other races because you aren't them, so as long as you yourself aren't an active racists, you get to live inside a tiny bubble where you get to believe no atrocities are being committed simply because you have not personally seen any happen first hand.

You clearly are a sheltered person who knows nothing about the real world. Just because the mind is more important, which it is, doesn't mean you understand what it's like being another race. If the mind was that important then we wouldn't have to protect other races right to get a job the quality more for than a white person because of race.
You can say yes it was all you want on the second point. That just shows that you don't understand and you act like you do.

http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/1323-youtube-generalI'd say so
The thing is is that there are all kinds of privileges. People have mentioned in this topic about other countries, so I'll stick to the US
There is white privilege, straight privilege, male privilege, etc. that a good chunk of people on CE would fall under. Like, it's very obvious why being those things are better on average than anything else.
However, at the same time, there is black privilege, asian privilege, gay privilege, trans privilege, female privilege, etc. That's not to say that they're equally as well off as the first group, but there are going to be situations in life where a minority (in race, gender, sexuality, etc.) will be better off than the "norm."
The larger issue is class privilege. That's where the imbalance really is, where rich people are so much better off than poor people that it's undeniable unless you live in a little bubble and do the whole "muh bootstraps" stuff.
People get so upset over the concept of white privilege that I think they feel it's an attack on them, where the point is more that in a typical situation for most people, things will go better if they were white. Like pinky said, it's not like that means your life is automatically better for being white or anything like that, just that on average in most situations it's better to be white.There are some things where I just bypass critical thinking. - ROD

Best simple explanation I read on reddit once:White privilege isn't some thing where every white person is born with a silver spoon in their mouth (although because of family history, land ownership there are greater chances of wealth being passed down for some non immigrant families)
I think it's more just, for the most part, not being negatively judged by your skin color when searching for employment, dealing with police. If a fictional character is white, it's just a character, if the character is black/asian/etc, you're making a statement.
It's not that it's easy to be white, it's hard to be human in general, it's just you don't have certain flavors of extra bulls***.
Whether it's looking like you're up to no good because you're black and wearing a hooded sweater, not having to prove your ethnicity if you don't like certain things (you're the whitest black dude I know, you don't even like hip hop), not really thinking racism is still a big deal because it doesn't often enter your personal space etc.
Edit: Additionally, growing up in America means that you also had to grow up mostly watching white men/women/culture in TV/Movies. So much so that I literally had to explain to several white kids that anime characters are usually asian. I guess I had the break dancing black power ranger with a gun, Barret and the burn victim demon Spawn, but there were slim pickings being a black nerd and trying to see yourself/find a costume.I dont want a sig!It's wrong to accuse people here of racism just becaus they don't agree that white priviledge is a thing. The fact is a high percentage of users are socially isolated, socially anxious or admit they're mentally ill, and you're going to run into a high number of people who because of that either live hard lives and get mad when you suggest they're priviledged, or they just aren't mentally able to pt themselves in anyone elses shoes. Most of them probably don't vote "no" in a rude way. They just don't/can't get it.
"White Privilege" is bulls***. When I ask people what is white privilege I get three general responses:
1) Income inequality
2) Systemic racism through the Criminal Justice system
3) Generic capitalist policies that benefit white people such as band-aids being the skin tone as white people or hotel shampoo is more suited to white people hair.
Lets tackle the first point; income inequality. There are three basic principles for people to follow to not be permanently poor.
1) Graduate high school
2) Don't get pregnant before marraige
3) Get a job
The first point is the graduation issue. There are no white people forcing black people to not graduate high school. School, for all intensive purposes, is free. Not only is school free; individuals that live within its jurisdiction is mandated to attend the provided free educational facility or enroll in private or home school. The drop out rate of black youth is about seven percent and for white people it is about five percent.
https://nces.ed.gov/fastfacts/display.asp?id=16
Don't get pregnant before marriage. This is an issue that is prevalent in the black community. The rate of black unwed mothers is at about 72%
http://www.blacknews.com/news/black_unwed_mothers101.shtml#.VxvZI3qbFoM
In comparison the rate of single white mothers is about 32%.
http://www.actrochester.org/children-youth/family-support/single-parent-families/single-parent-families-by-race-ethnicity
White people are not causing this. There aren't white people that are making black people have sex with other black people, then forcing one of them to abandon the other. In no place in America is this happening.
The third issue is to get a job. Black unemployment is at 9.2% with the contrast of white unemployment being at 4.2%
http://cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/black-unemployment-rate-92-more-double-white-unemployment-44
The percentage of black families that have both parents that live below the poverty line is 12%.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/dec/25/fathers-disappear-from-households-across-america/?page=all
Whereas white single mothers are at 33%
http://www.familyfacts.org/charts/329/poverty-rates-are-higher-among-single-mother-families-regardless-of-race
Where is all this white privilege for these white single mothers?
Systemic racism through the Criminal Justice system:
The first thing that gets attention is the differential treatment of crack verses powder cocaine. There is the widespread belief that the behind the scenes white supremacist super villain emperor of the United States is creating legislation to hurt black people. While that is a very compelling argument that many would fear to challenge because of its ironclad reasoning, I'm willing to question this idea.
The reason for heavy sentencing in crack cocaine is because crack is easier to distribute, easier to manufacture, and easier to get high off of. This is a drug that to this day devastates black communities. And it was actually black legislators in inner cities that pushed for the harsher sentencing in an effort to get the drugs out of their communities. This has nothing to do with white privilege. White people didn't even have anything to do with this.
http://www.wnyc.org/story/312823-black-leaders-once-championed-strict-drug-laws-they-now-seek-dismantle/
Meth has the same sentencing as crack, and yet meth is predominantly a drug used by white people. Where is all the white privilege for the Kentucky trailer park hillbillies?

I am on topic. Just because you do not want to talk about it does not mean it is off-topic--Apartheid systems are a valuable resource to study systemic inequalities in more extreme, apparent terms.

We can do a lot more to recognize it, though, and subsequently work to weaken the divide. There's a whole group of people who reject the entire concept of it without understanding it, have no desire to understand it, and then turn around and have a lot of bizarre, delusional, and sometimes dangerous perceptions of themselves and others.#thingsliberalssayBlack Privilege

You clearly are a sheltered person who knows nothing about the real world.
Lazy retort with no substance

And you say it's racist for having pride in your race?
Yes
Although I never actually said that.

And the other side's argument sounds an awful like the "global warming doesn't exists because its snowing outside" argument.
No it doesn't. In this scenario you have refused to explain how global warming exists beyond "you're just pretending you don't believe in it."
You're basically Zarna:
Everyone who disagrees with you is lying.
I'll admit everyone sees and believes in White Privilege but is lying about it, after you agree with Zarna and admit most men are rapists who commit sexual assault frequently and men and women just deny it because they are lying.
And he was never seen again

I really hope someday you come to realize what a remarkable waste of time your whole GameFaqs persona is.
Well I don't have one, so the few seconds you spent typing that was more of a waste of time.^ Hey now that's completely unfair.

This game is a waste of time ~ Conan the DestroyerNo.
For the vast majority of people, privilege or lack of it is down to affluence. Better to be a rich black man than a poor white man.known2FAIL posted...Of course it does. If you say no then you are naive and sheltered
I'm interested in whoever the user that voted "don't know" is, since every other user is so certain.
I wonder if that makes him or her the smartest user on the site or the most foolish^ Hey now that's completely unfair.
