A whole lot of reasons. Most liberal social policies such as abortions, gay marriage, ect are never going to be touched. At worse, they will not be funded by taxpayers under Republicans such as funds for abortions. The next big reason is when you hit the workforce the last thing they want is higher taxes and much more expensive cost of living. If you compare a liberal state like California to a conservative state like Texas you will easily see what I mean. Another issue is liberals pick on white men all the time. Who the hell want to be called "privileged" or get your opinion invalidated for being a straight white male. The hatred of white people seems crazy sometimes and no double standards. For example, if a white male shoots a black male the headline will be something "Racist white men shoot innocent unarmed black men." Where if it was the other way around it will be "32-year-old Matt William was killed last night." |
People that view the comment of white privilege as negative probably are to busy enjoying their white privilege!
It is simply stating a fact that because you are a straight white male then you may not be treated the same in most circumstances as a minority. People need to put down this equivalency of people wanting things to be on equal footing as somehow the white race is under attack. Things are still very lopsided in America, just look at the population of people and then look at who makes up congress.
