I'm just going to say it, anyone who says we need to increase government handouts because of white privilege is simply not educated. This thread is for us to talk about the notion of White privilege that has really been buzzing around in the USA lately.
Many Bernie Sanders fans want to raise taxes and take money from some people to make education free for other people to eliminate the gap between the rich and poor. This will simply not work.
Not only does this take away incentives to work and be a productive citizen, but it also hurts the people getting free education. As more people are being covered by the government, colleges raise prices because there are more consumers in the market thus making everyone in the country poorer. Not only that, but the value of having a degree lessons because if everyone has a degree it means less to have one.
My ex girlfriend and I had this arguement all the time. She recieved free schooling and i have to pay 8,000 a semester not including housing and travel expenses. She said that she deserved to get free school more than me because i was a priviledged white person. Notice how i said ex girlfriend? She support bernie and used to get mad at m and poured a can of coke on my head.
I work and go to school. I have no free time, no student debt. I work hard and get good grades. Anyone can do the same. We don't need additional discrimination against whites in this country. White people, brown people, black people are all capable of achieving if they try! I am a believer of equality.
What is your take on all of this? For the record, this is not meant to be racist I love the Mexicans, Whites, Blacks, Everybody! I just dont like when white people are held to a disadvanted in society.
