You're not allowed to be a non-privileged white person. You're not allowed to be a non-privileged male. Everything you achieve as a white straight cis male is irrelevant because the world handed it to your feet.

It's just funny that @Esso's mentality is that of most. Tell him he's getting the world handed to him as a male and that females are oppressed, and he says "That's bullshit"...yet he claims the exact same stuff that white people get the world handed to them and black people are oppressed. .

More people dying does not mean its happening at a higher rate....Rate is how many times something happens per unit of measure....a percentage. In 2015, blacks were killed at a rate of 3x more than white people and made up 40% of those killed while only making up 12% of the population. How does that make any sense at all? "You're not talking percentages" because it doesn't fit your argument. White people are not killed at a higher rate....and thats the whole problem.

And again, in America women arent treated nearly the same as black people....theres levels to this shit, levels to privilege, oppression, and disadvantage and ignoring that to make a comparison reminds me you do not understand the situation.
