I like the way you just picked out 3 of the list and just ignored the rest. Yes a few are dubious, 14 is a thing in the USA though.
What is white privilege?

"Black people have always been shown in a positive light in Hollywood"
*Spits out coffee*

err, did you miss the post I was answering..
Why should I waste my time responding to every point when just highlighting one was enough. So, I actually went above and beyond what was necessary

10, let's take f1. There's been a lot of talk recently over why the drivers are all white (with the exception of LH who's mixed race) and how it must simply be because the sport is racist.
What about basket ball? What about American notfootball? What about Premier League football? Black players are over represented in all of those sports yet nobody bats an eyelid. But no, f1 is racist. It's not that it's historically the sport of the incredibly wealthy and many of the top racers are related to or descended from previous racers.
14, there are literally black and other minority focus groups. I can't think I've ever seen a white specific focus group!
15, Watch any TV advert now on UK TV and where someone is the butt of a joke it will be a white male. You never see a minority or female used for comic effect.

Hilarious rubbish Dis!
Then refute them. Prove me wrong on those points.
Show me mass complaints against the over representation of black athletes in some sports.
Show me a white focus group in UK or US government politics.
Show me a recent tv advert where a black woman is made to look the fool.
I will happily be proven wrong.
No thanks, I'm perfectly happy knowing its just an insecure rightie rant and can just have a good chuckle about it without needing to waste any of my time.
And anyway, I'm just coming off a two day bender and really really cba
Saw this posted this morning on another site, so I'm playing my Uno reverse card.
1. Yeah, like in deep Alabama.
2. I mean, if you're poor, I don't really see how this is a privilege.
3. The drug dealer or gangsta stereotype exists.
4. You're not racist, black people are just violent criminals.
5. This is not a widespread problem.
6. Struggling to remember any incidences of this.
7. Did you hear about that Wiley chap last week?
8. You just got pulled over by the police, how is this privilege?
9. Like white people blame their shortcoming on immigrants taking their jobs?
10. Lmao what the hell weird inferiority complex/small penis syndrome garbage is this?
11. I refer to you to that Wiley chap again.
12. You mean like Bradford?
13. This is vague to the point of being meaningless.
14. I'm imagining the electoral chances of any government that didn't pander to as many groups as it can.
15. Ever seen Boyz in the Hood? Menace II Society?
16. What, like Afghanistan or Fallujah? What has this got to do with black people?
17. Lmao a Klan Rally or Trump Turnberry come to mind.
This is the epitome of Facebook boomer aunt/uncle garbage. A load of disingenuous statements that either fundamentally misunderstand the concept of privilege and/or are vague to the point of being so meaningless that they appear to have been generated by a Poundland AI.
'I cant refute those points so I will call you a rightie instead'
I don't need to prove what is most obviously ******** though?
No 15 : "Black people have always been shown in a positive light in Hollywood" lolwut?
Anyway, I called the person who wrote it an insecure rightie.....whats the problem with that?

Mushy Peas did it for you anyway.

No he didn't. He posted a load of crap, completely missing the point of some of them.
Example.
Excellent. Well thought out and sourced responses.

I've never heard anyone say black people are better in bed - certainly it's not a well known trope, like: "black men have big dicks", which is probably what half the issue is for racists saddos.
Black people are better at some sports, worse at others.
Even in this thread we've spoken about how they have a disadvantage in competitive swimming due to genetics (denser bone structure)
Also due to genetics they tend to be naturally better at short and long distance running, tend to be taller (better for basketball) etc.
No he didnt. Post #264 is why he just called him a 'rightie' with not even any attempt to challenge the points made.
Caporegime
I don't disagree with those points, but as I've pointed out then why is it where we have white majorities in sports it has to be construed as racism? Why can it not just be white people are better at some of them?
Also you may have to argue with some posters that there are genetic differences between races. They are sure it's nothing more than melanin levels...

I went to the effort of refuting what was posted in it's entirety because I didn't agree with it. I'd appreciate it if you'd extend the same courtesy as per your earlier callout:
