The National Anthem

@Papacito yep no longer "white privelege" because he has finally remembered that white kids are growing up in poverty, living lives of crime and being locked up, addicted to drugs and sleeping rough as well.
Although those people do not fit the narrative as their white skin makes them evil.
 
@jirskyr nothing you have written points to the fabricated title of "white privelege". It sounds like you have come from money...half your luck. I have never met a person who had a free ride through University. Sounds like your parents have done a good job setting you up for life, again congratulations.

Thats not white privelege though. Im sure there are plenty of people from all cultures and colours who are experiencing similar...not where I live but Im sure its happening. Im trying my darndest to ensure my kids experience similar. Hopefully they will have decent bank accounts when school is over, not because of their "white privelege" but because their mother and I have religiously garnished part of our wages each and every week to put something away for them. That is not privelege, it is foreward planning, discipline and sacrifice.

Maybe instead of whining that you have had it easier than most you could give back and instead of projecting your guilt on to an entire group of people you could realise that many white people are struggling in this country and they dont get half the leg up that Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islanders could, should they want it.
 
Personally I think anyone who feels the need to “promote” their above average income bracket on a public forum is Displaying a fair amount of insecurity. But hey, that’s just me.
 
@Tiger_Steve hey, who said that in here? You seem to have just blown in and made a racially motivated comment toward someone on a clearly sensitive thread. He obviously wasn’t making a comment about wealth or skin colour but the fact Indigenous people generally, in good areas of Australia, get afforded equal opportunities. Just saying
 
@TieDye not just ‘blowing in.’ Have been a regular contributor to the forum for a while now. Definitely not racially motivated - why is it that every opinion in society that differs from someone else’s is now branded as racist? Strange really.
I just think it’s interesting someone has to blow up their tyres by promoting their above average income bracket. But that’s just me. Anyway - carry on. I’ll move on to a different thread ...
