Right here: "If you assert that racism is a cause for their crime statistics, you are also saying that correlations like single-parents contribute less to those statistics for that race.."
I never asserted such a thing. I don't even know if comparative strengths of disabling factors is even measurable. Hence the big fat strawman.
Less of a contribution (than in other races) does not equate to less of a contribution than racism.
Your strawman accusation is obviously projection.
Quote:Quote:Just because you've added racism to the contributing factors for blacks (special pleading) doesn't mean it somehow contributes more than single-parents, but all factors can only contribute up to 100% likelihood (you know, when it actually becomes a crime statistic). Does racism also explain the higher rate of recidivism among blacks?
Again, I never asserted racism contributes more than single parents. You're fucking up again.
Again, where did I claim you did?
Maybe you're just confused. I am agreeing that "add[ing] racism to the contributing factors for blacks
doesn't mean it somehow contributes more than single-parents". That agreement means that your little strawman accusation is, itself, a strawman.

I've already posted alot of evidence for white privelege. Here's seven more pieces of evidence. If you can't accept it, that's your problem.

Apparently you take poorly correlated and cherry-picked info as evidence.
1. You are less likely to be arrested.
Taking nonviolent drug offenses out of the larger context is cherry-picking the data. Blacks have more interactions with police, due to higher frequency of other crimes, leading to more nonviolent drug offense arrests.
And where's the evidence that school zero tolerance policies are racially "unfair"? You know, aside from a racial discrepancy in bad behavior? O_o
2. You are more likely to get into college.
Again, is the exact same discrepancy among Asian-Americans due to Asian privilege?
The reason why Asians appear “underrepresented” in elite college admissions is because they are in fact overrepresented. Although they only comprise 4.5 percent of the US population, they comprise nearly 20-30 percent of top colleges’ students. To correct for this over-representation, and maybe their societal advantage in gaining access to higher level secondary education, colleges are now admitting a lower percentage of Asians.

They also compare disparate data to arrive at their conclusions.
While more than 30 percent of African-Americans and Hispanics with a high school grade point average of 3.5 or higher attended community colleges, only 22 percent of whites with the same GPA attended the same level of schooling. Likewise, the report found that 57 percent of minority students with scores higher than 1200 out of 1600 (the SAT scoring scale changed to a maximum of 2400 points in 2005) on the SAT eventually received some sort of certificate or degree, compared to 77 percent of whites with similar scores.

So this expects us to believe that a 3.5 GPA in a black underfunded high school has the same preparatory value as a 3.5 GPA from a better-funded school?
Even though the actual outcomes prove otherwise:
New data from the U.S. Department of Education shows a wide racial disparity in the grade point averages of bachelor’s degree recipients. The data shows grades for students who earned their degrees during the 2007-08 academic year.
Some 75 percent of all White bachelor degree recipients had a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. For Blacks, 55.3 percent of all graduates had a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. Whites were more than twice as likely as Blacks to graduate with grade point averages better than 3.5. Two out of every five White graduates but less than one in five Black graduates achieved a GPA greater than 3.5.
Blacks were nearly three times as likely as Whites to graduate with a GPA of less than 2.5. Some 14.5 percent of Black graduates and 5.5 percent of White graduates had a GPA of less than 2.5.

3. You are more likely to "fit in" and get called back for a job.
In an environment of increasing victimhood and potential discrimination suits, it's just prudent to limit your exposure as a business. If you want businesses to be colorblind, quit being a liability.
4. You are less likely to be perceived as a "thug."
Violent crime statistics as a percent of black population means they are literally more likely to be actual thugs.
5. You are less likely to be labeled "angry."
The fact is that "angry blacks" seem to have a free pass on racially stereotyping other ethnicities, calling for the genocide of whites and other things that would otherwise be unconscionable for whites to say...much less angrily. "Black power", even chanted angrily, is not only acceptable for blacks, it has zero racist/bigoted stigma, whereas the reverse is far from true.
Seems to be a free speech black privilege there, if anything. It's expected, so its allowable.
6. You are more likely to make headlines when missing.
Sadly, the prevalence of black on black violent crime makes it less newsworthy. The more ubiquitous the less it is news.
7. You are more likely to find adequate housing.
Anecdotal evidence is all that's given for this one.
Quote:Quote:So you can read minds now? 
Nope, apparently not.
Who said they where right...much less because they are black? O_o
Just trying to shake you from your racist stereotypes.
You're the one cherry picking videos of black people denying white privelege. You tell me why you're doing that.
Because you seem completely ignorant of the fact that blacks don't all think alike.
