What is White Privilege?

Nothing wrong with that. This is a large addition. There are tax advantages to taking out a loan then paying it off super early in a lump sum.

The tax advantage is that the deduction for interest payments. If you are paying it off "super early in a lump sum", the interest payments are smaller, and are worthless.

Let's say you take out a loan for $100k. The next day, you pay it all off, for $105k. You can deduct the $5k from your taxes, BUT you just lost $5k for only getting a loan for a day.

So you think that racism has to include all of that stuff or it doesn't count? Ever have someone follow you around an upscale department store because of your skin color? Ever get a ticket for the same thing that someone else got only a warning for, because of your skin color? Ever wait in line to get service only to be "accidentally" overlooked because of your race? Didn't think so. Either have I.

It's a bullshit term used by those that realize they aren't capable of doing what white have to earn and refuse to accept the truth about themselves.

It does bother you. There are some of us who are ashamed of slavery being part of our history. Fellow humans should never be treated that way.

It's not my history, my roots here aren't much more or less than 100 years, when my families came as Catholic immigrants from Poland & Ireland.

As usual Dutch Uncle has a funny way of expressing his anti prejudiced attitude.

My friend & myself one time went into a Guatemalan store in Brewster & were the only ones followed around like criminals.

That was probably racism.

Another time another friend & I were in a Guatemalan bar deli in Pawling they cut me off a after 2 beers & let the Guatemalan patrons have like 10 beers.

That was probably racism.

I used to get followed in stores by Indian Hindu shop owners.

It could be a skin color thing.

But, most likely it was a insecurity thing.

I remember the Sixties, Selmar and segregation. That was real racism, when you had to use different toilets, water fountains and seats in the bus.
