So is the "N" word....

What are your thoughts on the "narrow" SC decision on the stupid wedding cake?

And no one disputes that the N word exists as a pejorative.

You admit that white privilege is a thing, you just refuse to say the word privilege? That’s so weird.

To me "White Privilege" is equal to the "N" word or the "K" word when referring to Jews.

?

You're going to have to explain that craziness.

To me that equates to people stating that I am special because I am white aka superior to those who are not and I feel that is both wrong and disrespectful and further divides this already divided country.

Why do people not like Jews? I honestly dont get it.

Apparantly we are part of a world conspiracy or something.

IDK, some people just need a scapegoat for the world's problems and some choose the Jews. But as people pointed out, very irrational.

Says the "Jew" who supports Palestine. LOL.

That’s not what white privilege means. Similar to economic privilege or Christian privilege, it just means that you have an advantage in our society if you are white.

I need to read the actual Supreme Court ruling/opinions. Right now, I'm not sure what to think since I did not follow the case at all.

To you it means that but to me it has a much more dangerous message.

If you are talking to me and we are applying for the same job and you say, "I probably have an advantage because I am white"...I am not offended whereas if you state "I am privileged because I am white"..well you sound like a jerk.

Semantics, I know. Really form over substance.

It’s the exact same thing.

Not to me

Well, no. It’s not an opinion. The idea that society gives whites an advantage is exactly the same as white privilege.

Go on Twitter and see:

#1) We killed Christ
#2) We are dirty and steal all the $$
#3) Israel..how dare we oppress those terrorists in Palestine
#4) We lied about the Holocaust
#5) See 1 through 4

Your first mistake was “go on Twitter.”

I see hate **** on Twitter all the time...have never witnessed hatred or prejudice against Jews. Seriously...not once in my life.

Well, being Jewish, I have experienced it first hand. It definitely exists.
