I'm referring to stuff I've already said several times, that society favors white people in a way that is considered normal and borders on glorifying whiteness as the norm in contrast to the marginalized groups. And that's especially the case in the idea that black people just aren't working hard enough or other negative stereotypes about them that are not entirely their fault with a society that has systemic bias against treating them in the same way they would white people.What "white-privilege" are you referring to this time? Or are you just throwing that term around as a way of dog-whistling to the BLM crowd?
When you have people in the South that are white and blamed for being lazy, but are also given a wider berth in what is appropriate, while black people in the same kind of context where they are low income and have to utilize welfare institutions are suggested to just have some cultural norm for them as black people that encourages the bad behavior we see rather than it being a consequence of a white majority culture marginalizing them. Or do you not understand what marginalization means?
And I don't need to invoke BLM to object to systemic racism, I can bring up the atrocious history of my region of the Southeast U.S., my state and several others having a backlash against integration because they preferred the status quo where segregation was the norm. The very idea of white supremacy and white privilege is almost baked into the South's history, particularly in regards to the Confederacy period.
