Haha Douglas Murray. For gods sake.
This thread is really just about white backlash.

I'm just guessing that this guy talks around the point a great deal, distracting by talking about how we're all so privileged these days, compared with times of lore, and how pointing the finger at individual challenges isn't helpful.
Or some such nonsense
You're allowed an opinion, don't cry when people don't agree with it.
Fed up of this 'war on white masculinity' garbage. You have to talk about race because it's a problem, avoiding it means it never gets fixed.

Well that’s handy, I’m disabled so I will now go around accusing you all of able bodied privilege.
Soldato
He talks about poor white people. Yes, there's poor white people. Simply enough, pick the example you want of a crappy life with a white male. Make that person black,run the same scenarios and tell me it wouldn't be harder/worse.
I love the IQ thing though! IQ tests are a great example of white privilege
, especially the ones ran decades ago. IQ is not some bias free test, or anything close.
It needs to be discussed, and I think we all feel very uncomfortable when it highlights us, it's natural to want to fight back against a label like that, but it's not saying you personally are doing anything wrong, it's about recognising the fact that others have it harder for no good reason.

I know what Douglas Murray and London Real are all about. If you feel so strongly about this why not write your own opinions.
Posting youtube videos isn't having an opinion, it's looking for things that confirm your own biases.

It's not an accusation, it's a fact. The world is harder for you, those of us without disability are privileged in comparison. There's no accusation there. People get so defensive, and that's the issue.

But its a bit like putting a video of Farage and saying just listen to what hes saying. We know what these people are about. People like him and Farage know what you want to hear.
You can do that, but thankfully most people are aware of the difficulties people with disabilities face.
Douglas Murray was asked a question and answered it.
Aka an interview.
You seem upset that people are given a platform, unlike you I'm happy to listen to others with opposing views without trying to poison what people think of them.
If you don't want to watch said videos that's fine, but to accuse others of bias given your responses is the height of hypocrisy.
How exactly are we supposed to know what people are about without actually listening to them? What a ridiculous stance to take.
What's that saying about serving a plate of food, some people will like it, some not so much.
However, serve a plate of steaming dog poo, and everybody will agree it's simply not food. Or something.

not 100% correct, they had the privilege of voting Tory to give them less privilege............................

Exactly.
People here do it all the time when they can't articulate something themselves, very annoying.
I'm sure even I've done it occasionally, but you can't expect people to watch a 10+ minute video from some random dude, when you should be arguing your own point.
I wouldn't read a post that took 10 minutes to get to the end of.

The world is designed for the able, the world built around right handed people, the world is biased towards men, and being white does give you more access.
So if you are white, male, able and born in the western world you have pretty much got a pretty good genetic lottery.
If people disagree with that, would you prefer to be black, female, born in Africa instead? or, add a disability to it as well. We are privileged to be born in the western world and more privileged if you are born white and male.
Soldato
Well quite, its an absolute fact that disabled people are wrongly prejudiced against. Its why we have legislation to prevent it, DDA regulations for example. I think the issue is though that people don't even question the validity of that claim and yet you mention white privilege and the world ends.
I found the video and the speaker pertinent to the discussion.
For such an important subject ten minutes is hardly a lot of time, again I see the same people resorting to character attacks rather than discussion or even the consideration of discussion.
To my eyes it seems that you've found a position you can't address so you've chosen to disregard it and go on the attack instead.
