I'll tell you what a thug is. A thug is a person who uses force and threats to make other people give "respect." Additionally, a thug is a person who robs, peddles drugs, assaults people. It's not forced assimilation into "white culture" to expect people not to do such things.

And I think the word “thug” is used, too often, to describe individuals who do not do any of the things you have mentioned. You are referring to a post I reblogged that mentions a couple people, one of them being Trayvon Martin who was labeled a thug, even though when white teens, who participate in the same behavior, are not labeled as such.

White culture does threaten poc into respecting them, and robs, and assaults people, and distribute drugs, so really.. who are the real thugs?

 

You need to take a few sociology classes. What you think is racism is actually prejudice. White people are the oppressive group. That does not mean every single white person has an oppressive personality; but all white people benefit from white privilege.

Only according to people like you who wish to justify discrimination against white people do they ALL benefit from the myth of “white privilege.”

Could you be more of an ass at this point?

I DARE you to walk up to one of the THOUSANDS of impoverished white people and tell them how they are benefiting from “white privilege” as they struggle to feed themselves.

white privilege doesn’t mean every white person is healthy, rich, and live perfect lives. white privilege is getting unfair advantages and privileges that people of color do not get. White privilege is committing genocide against Native Americans in order to steal our continent, and rebuilding it with the labor of enslaved Black people. White privilege is reaping the benefits of the genocide, enslavement, relocation, segregation, assimilation, etc, of people of color. White privilege is having a disgusting past and present while portraying people of color in the media  as subhuman. I could go on but you will believe whatever supports your bigotry.
