Show me where I said it was genetic.

Then why do you guys use white in your white privilege scam? Being white is 100% genetic. You can't use genetics as a cause, then immediately say, "Show me where I said it was genetic," otherwise people might rightfully accuse you of being retarded.

So either take out the white part, or if you insist on keeping it in your scam's movement, show me how science is isolating the white oppression gene. How far along have they come with that research?

No

show me where I said it was genetic. You claimed I said genetic. Show me or admit that you misquoted me.

Oh my. Ironical.

You said white privledge exists. Whiteness is caused by genetics alone. Therefore white privilege is a nonsense argument if you claim white privledge is not genetic. If you can't admit that, then I can't take your argument seriously at all.

See, it's not gravity that kills you, it's the sudden stop. If I don't mention gravity, how can one use gravity as a counter argument.

Factors regulating the amount of melanin in one's skin are mainly genetic. This has been proven through many valid studies.
The genes that cause a skin to be dark have no other purpose than to build the proteins that make melanin, not brain cells, nerves or other functions. This is traveled ground in science. From a biological/biochemical perspective, there is no scientific basis for saying that economic success is related to the genes that make melanin.

If you agree with my earlier post, we can move on from some biological argument to social ones. There are reams of data and studies based upon it to show black people are economically disadvantaged at almost every important level. Funding for education, wages, the cost of living and even the interest rate one pays for car loans and mortgages.

for example a study done on school funding found that no matter how rich or poor the district in question, funding gaps existed solely based on the racial composition of the school. Just the increased presence of minority students actually deflated a district’s funding level.

There are plenty of these.

White privilege can be seen in these measurable areas -- education, wages and costs. It is an undeniable fact that white people benefit in all of these areas.

I can move on if you call it for what it is, "only privledge" why do you include genetics when you say this phenomenon is not about genetics? It's like down's syndrome used to be called Mongoloidism. White's came up with that racist term, but now corrected their racist mistake. Why can't you?

If you keep using racist speech to combat racism, anyone with intelligence and not brainwashed won't take you seriously.

The term you're looking for is ADVANTAGED which almost everyone in America has to some degree, some have it more and others less. Whether one group has a particular advantage more, isn't the point.

The main issue is self worth. Anyone who has low self worth tends to succeed less. Those with higher self worth succeed more.

Rather than try to take away another's self worth to level the playing field, we need to figure out how to make those with low self worth enable within themselves higher self worth.

Of course you miss the point. White elitism, white privilege exists. It's not genetic but it exists, It has nothing to do with what the people affected are doing. It has everything to do with the behavior of white people and the economic system they dominate.

Behavior can change and it's happening slowly. Education systems are not being funded equally. That's something that should be fixed but won't under your white supremacist president.

LOL your "let's call it advantaged" thing. Nope white privilege is a tangible benefit that white people are willing to kill for. Let's stick with a name that identifies the problem.
