  • Attention extension/user script/archive developers: 4chan's new HTML will be going live tomorrow, Sunday the 13th, at approximately 12:00PM ET. Please have your new versions ready to roll by then.

    Attention everyone else: GET READY FOR EXCITEMENT!! On Sunday we'll be rolling out our new imageboard HTML/CSS. Everything has been rewritten from the ground up and replaces code that is nearly a decade old. The designs will be 100% the same, but this should allow us and other developers to more easily modify and create add-ons for 4chan. Large threads should also render more quickly, and we also have a new mobile view for those on mobile phones. And a few other goodies.

    We expect the migration to be pretty painless, but expect some wonkiness tomorrow afternoon. The Official 4chan Chrome Extension will be updated immediately, and has a bunch of new features and runs 3x faster than the old one, so be sure to grab that in advance.

    white privilege isn't because they're white, it's because they're the majority.

    People are more used to white people than other races, so they subconsciously trust them easier.

    as well as if someone is white, they will subconsciously relate themselves closer to another white man than some other ethnicity.

    Sure, it's there. People say its not but it's simply nature.

    If you were to go to Africa, Black privilege would seem very real there if you were white.

    I disagree. Privilege still exists. For instance, blacks and Latinos have suffered disproportionately since the beginning of the 2008 crisis, compelling evidence that institutional racism still exists.

    But that's not the only kind of privilege. There is also class privilege, which hurts whites as well as non-whites, and there is a kind of regional privilege. What do I mean by this? Well, for instance, gas companies want to hydro-frack along rivers that supply New York City. The city has enough power to push back against this fracking to protect its water supply. But, poor white in West Virginia don't have similar clout to oppose mountain-top removal mining, which poisons their water supply. So when thinking about privilege, it is important to approach it cautiously, making sure to take into account all the contradictory tensions it entails.

    China is different, they actively see Western styles of business as impressive and aggressive. Many chinese businessmen go to the states to learn how to be better businessmen.

    although, in china you're not going to have people actively trust you MORE than another race, just the same amount.

    here in the states it is more, because racism was popular here for a long time.

    Copypasting from the other thread:


    The whole point of it is simple, but it's misused by a lot of people.

    To put it simply, privilege is simply a list of problems that you, as a white, heterosexual, cisgendered male, will probably never have to face or even think about, that people without your privilege are confronted with every day.

    You're not to be blamed for it, you're not at fault or anything. It's just something you should keep in mind when having discussions with or regarding people without your privilege, to point out that, hey, not everyone has the same things going for them, and some are at a marked disadvantage.

    Look, you're never going to fully understand these problems from their perspective, because you're not them, but the point of the privilege lists is to just try and make you aware of them. The playing field is not level, just try to keep that in mind is all.

    Also, yes, you could make black/homosexual/trans/female privilege lists, but they'd be much shorter.

    The reasons behind this inequality are the complaint. That's why the typical privileges are white, heterosexual, male, and cisgender. People should not be treated unequally based solely on their race, sexuality, or gender.

    People can be unequal due to character, or work ethic, or what have you, but no one complains about those.

    There are different privileges. You're not supposed to lump them all together, I was just listing the most common ones off. Heterosexual women will not face homosexual problems. Cisgendered homosexuals will not face transgender problems. Being part of one marginalized group does not exempt you from having advantages over others. It's not a dick-waving competition for WHO CAN BE THE MOST DISADVANTAGED, it's just stuff you should keep in mind, that not everyone faces the same issues, and you might not understand or think about some of the ones other people face.

    You're not to be blamed for it, you're not at fault, as I said. But it is a privilege in that it's an advantage you have that other people do not. Or, more accurately, it's a lack of disadvantages, since the privilege lists are more about problems the non-privileged face than about benefits the privileged get.

    "Lol.

    Blogs that talk about the negatives of Feminism because men have issues that need to be discussed.

    Your only issue is that you’re a fucking tool that whines because you’re not getting the attention. You don’t know what your privilege is as a male and you are too close minded and ignorant to believe that you have a very large cloud following you called privilege.

    So yes, you are the issue at hand and yes, Feminists will either ignore you or question the shit out of you when you open your mouth or type on your little keyboard. More than likely though, you would never say that shit in public because you know you would be questioned. So you sit behind your keyboard of ignorance and misogyny and complain about how you’re somehow oppressed as a male.

    It doesn't necessarily follow that, because blacks and Hispanics have suffered disproportionately in the economic crisis, that it must be because of racism. It could well be the fact that their disproportionate suffering comes form the the fact that a large percentage of one of the groups doesn't know and doesn't learn the language, laws, and customs of the country and a large percentage of the other group wears willful ignorance as a badge of honor among their group's subculture. Because neither group integrates themselves socially or economically into the greater society, it goes to follow that they would suffer more economically and socially during a period of economic and social crisis.

    Other minority groups, those that make a point of integrating socially and economically into society, are doing quite well, some of them even better than the large percentage of the majority racial group.

    Let's also look at the fact the many of the majority racial group has suffered as much as blacks and Hispanics have, and that this group of whites are the ones who don't integrate socially and economically with the greater society. Coincidence or pattern?

    No business is going to be inclined to hire me because they dont get "diversity" credits for it, someone black and of equal skill (or black and of lesser skill) will be better for the bottom line for them


    The only "privilege" I have as a white man is that people of no-influence don't judge me as harshly before talking to me. But what does that matter at all? It doesnt DO anything for me, it doesnt help me in any way.

    I'm still as likely as any other white "boi" to get assaulted by niggers just for being white, and no ones going to care.

    Priviledge exists but it's not like only every white person in America has it. I was raised in a part of florida where hispanic was the norm. The kids and the authorities, so as a white, I was pretty fucked. Believe it or not we even had some hispanic cops who would bully my family. They'd fuck with me and my brother all the time and follow my mom when she drove places, it was fucked up.

    So the people who think that being white is the same everywhere as it is in Montana, can go fuck themselves.
