I was just saying that I found a cheap apartment in one of ATL's better neighborhoods. its not that surprising, immediately outside buckhead are a bunch of old rear end once commuter apartments which have become defacto tenements when i worked in restaurants in midtown i'd often give the mexican boh staff rides home and every one of them lived somewhere in buckhead, in some dingy trap surrounded by brand new high rise condos

I live in a place that is 900 a month for a two bedroom, including all utilities (internet and cable even). The tradeoff is that you risk death every day riding elevators from the 50's. It owns.

Really miss the fifties patch. Single income could prestige you into affluence with a factory class, let alone a college PrC. Otoh they buffed the gently caress out of financial classes since then.

I am Jewish, so not technically white (although an Oppressor nonetheless, because, like, Palestine!), but can often Pass for white. Don't worry, you're doing great.

You'll know you're privileged when: You decide "I'd like a masters." Two weeks later you've been accepted (at a good university). It doesn't cost you anything. As an undergrad you had below a 2.8.

You'll know you're privileged when: People come up to you several times a day unsolicited, just to let you know they think your children are beautiful. This even happens when they have their own children.

You'll know you're privileged when: They'll pay you over six figures. You have real control over how you work. You have real control over when you work. Your work makes you feel good about yourself. You didn't have to struggle to get the job.

Those all sound great, but I think the OP was specifically asking about White Privilege. Unless you think only 'white' people have beautiful kids, which is kind of a hosed up belief, or that only "white" people have ever gotten into a fight?

Powercrazy posted:Unless you think only 'white' people have beautiful kids, which is kind of a hosed up belief, or that only "white" people have ever gotten into a fight? No but there is a cultural standard of beauty spread by media and culture. It's very white and very blond. If your kid looks like Taylor Swift and Anderson Cooper had a baby, that's a thing that happens. No, but if you're a white kid and you do something wrong, you get treated different, you might not even be punished. Concepts like "youthful indiscretion" or "just teenage behavior" apply to your actions. A more specific example would be how young white drug users get treated differently than young black drug users. Some where along the line if you are white, male, and even moderately good looking, it becomes obvious that not everybody gets treated like you get treated. I went to an Academy. That's privileged white male central. Here's another one: You'll know you're privileged when: People you meet even only incidentally always remember who you are and always positively. Often even years later. You have no idea who they are. You expect this situation as the norm.
