tracy24222Participantwhites complain so much because mostly of what you said, they have nothing better to do, and most of them have so much that they take it for granted and don`t appreciate it as they should. Some of them feel as if it`s not the way they want it, then there`s hell to pay.

D31822ParticipantI dont think its necessarily ‘white’ people that complain too much. I think it falls upon the lines of over-privelidged Americans who are so use to recieving more then wat other people in other countries can receive. So I guess you could say in a way all Americans are spoiled whiners.

WILLIAMMemberWhy do you say the ‘majority being privileged’? As far as the complaints go, are you working in an area that is mostly white? That would account for most of the calls, the 98%. My daughter is white and she works in an area that is mostly black/mexican. Guess what the percentage rate is in regards to race?–black/mexican. Go figure.

S28516ParticipantWell, I think your question reveals your racism. How do you know who is black and who is white over the telephone? Do you judge the callers based on the way they speak?

DominiqueParticipantAre you speaking for all ‘white’ people, or yourself? And are you against multiculutralism? I donno about London, but Human Sacrifce, whatever ‘religion’ is illegal because it is a CRIME. And you can only be so educated about an ethnicity, because in reality, you cant be them.

jeremy-pParticipanti would like to know how you judge this 98 percent of people to be white. by voice, dialect, what? if so, you are perpetuating cycles of stereotypes against whites as sounding a certain way and blacks sounding another and asians …. personally, i have worked with gathering voiced problems with circumstances in my school and found the ones whom ‘complain’ the most are the ones who care about quality. if we didn’t voice our opinions or complaints about products or conditions, they would never reach higher standards on which to be held. it sounds like the problem lies in your job selection, if ya’ don’t like it, find a new one.

Jay31315ParticipantYou’re right. White people spend too much time complaining. We should be more like black people and use violence to solve all of our complaints. If someone looks at you funny, shoot them. If you buy something defective, return to the store, call the clerk a bitch and then assault them. If one of your many baby mommas be trippin, beat the bitch down. Things would be much better that way.

MINION20480ParticipantI see that the word ‘privileged’ is placed in the context of a generalization. I would like to know why a black would make this racist association against herself.

MuffinParticipantThey should have the right to complain. There human and how do you know if they are white. Someone’s voice can be very decieving. Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.

Bruce KingParticipantDo you ask them, or do they just sound white? My experience is that I can’t always tell someone’s race just by hearing them speak.

D-JosephParticipantHow can you say that you aren’t privileged. You are white and that’s privilege enough. In this day and age, it may seem like everybody gets along compared to how things were in the past. Well, I hate to be the one to break it to you, but things are the same just in a different way. Because you are white you are privileged. And for everyone else, we have to struggle just to get recognized. Your skin color allows you to do whatever you want without much regard to what it is. People of color are constantly being watched just because of their skin color. Being white gives you many advantages that you take for granted. Like getting a great deal on a new car while minorities get jacked up interest rates making the payments ten times more than yours. White people are so blind to their privileged lives that its sickening. But I gurantee that if you lived as a minority one hour for one day you will know where we are coming from.

MandyParticipantI work in a call center and take those same calls every day. I see the same amount of black people as white people calling the center. What kind of business is it you take customer service calls for? I work for a cellular phone corporation. The majority of the white people being privileged thing where does that come from? Trust me I do not look at myself as being racist, but you say you have a 4 year education right? I also have 3 yrs. of education, and am finally finishing my 4th. My point is I’ve had to depend on grants, my parents, and working for my money to pay for school. How did you get through school? There is no college fund to fund only white people, but there is a fund to fund only african american people. Is that fair? So lets talk about privileged people. The people who are privileged are the people who choose to make something of themselves and who have earned it; not the ones who complain about how they are not privileged. Privileges are something you earn, not something that is handed to you. By the way I’m married to an african american man who happens to feel the same way, and is ashamed at how people such as your self (black or white) can act how you act.
