Is the magnitude of white privilege subject to exponential decay over time?

Maybe. But to act like all Blacks had to do was have their grandparents work harder like my grandparents and they would be better off is false and revisionist history.

Depsite your clear engagement in microagression . . . setting that aside, I would tend to find merit in this theory.

Since the middle class wasn't really developed until the middle of the 20th century most people came from what in today's standards were very poor roots.

acknowledge your descendant of mid-20th century american parents privilege.

Chingon may have doubted for a second his decision to immediately move this thread to the pit, but had extremely high confidence that it would ultimately prove correct.

Probably not exponentially. A problem with this theory is we likely won't see an explosion in economic growth we experienced in the middle of the twentieth century (that blacks were largely excluded from) again in our lifetimes.

David Ubben's piece on the situation, sorry if already posted: http://www.sportsonearth.com/article/156914846/university-of-missouri-protests-donovan-bonner .

Still trying to fully grasp what he's trying to get across. Black athletes getting special treatment over regular black students?

Gary Pinkel on BITB right now. 

Bc what he world needed was middle aged white sports media guy interviewing middle aged white football coach about race relations. Wish GP would have been interviewed by CDot. Alas gotta stay in that "safe zone".

This is GP's weekly time slot, so....

keitz is the least likely to softball Qs to pinkel of anyone on the radio

If the Pres would have "convened" a group of campus leaders etc in a focus group or whatever he'd still have a job. 

Fact is, that place is so racist that he didn't think he needed to.

So like, assuming I was white, my kids and their kids shall bear the burden of this same privilege?

Burden of privilege? Good grief.

I think Cdot wouldn't have backed down and asked good questions. Alas we will never know. It's more just the visual it brings. Probably overreacting to it. It's not that big of a deal.

[420seriouscat69]

Maybe 610 should have built a relationship with him, like BITB did.

[meow meow]

pretty sure Pinkel is on 610 every week also, at least he was last year.

[mocat]

pretty sure Pinkel is on 610 every week also, at least he was last year.

yeah he is. right before bitb actually

So did he cancel his 610 interview? I have very low KC Sports Radio IQ.

Can you white people tell me why there's such an issue with acknowledging white male privilege or why some of you have a problem with the phrase? I mean the privilege comes with no repercussions of acknowledging it. I mean I can give a million examples of it existing so that can't be the issue.

Because it's complete bullshit and it's a cop out for deeper underlying issues which should be of greater focus.  I can also provide a million examples of it not existing and white people overcoming obstacles to achieve success, such as my dad who was born in a one pump gas station that my grandparents owned in a small rural town because they couldn't afford to go to the hospital. 

Asian-Americans earn more money and have a lower unemployment rate then any other demographic group.  So do you believe there is an asian privilege in America?

I didn't see this before as I wading through pages of bullshit. But yes, this.

Both of you honestly believe it's not easier to be white in the country than black? Also LOL at the cliche story about coming from nothing. Since the middle class wasn't really developed until the middle of the 20th century most people came from what in today's standards were very poor roots.

I didn't say that you jackass.  I said white privilege is bullshit.  I'm not doubting black people have a harder time succeeding in society, but it's not primarily due to skin color.  Also, I don't think you know the definition of cliche, because it's not a cliche if it actually happened.  Go be a dumbass somewhere else.

I think Gary Pinkel would have rather be anywhere on Earth than giving that interview to bitb

I misused the word cliche, the word I was looking for was anecdote, alas my point still stands. But please expand on African Americans missing out on the greatest economic growth in our country's history is not the main reason for their struggle to find the same kind of  success white's enjoy today.

This seems counter intuitive.

i don't know what word you meant, chuckjames, but it wasn't antecedent.
