- .Alice Warner -Six months ago I lost my job and after that I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a great website which literally saved me. I started working for them online and in a short time after I've started averaging 15k a month... The best thing was that cause I am not that computer savvy all I needed was some basic typing skills and internet access to start... This is where to start >www.CashRole.com
- .Kiara Jenkins · Top Commenter · Beddingfield High SchoolBut I'm black...I clicked 1 of them (the dave chapelle one) and I benefit? Whatever you say buzzfeed...
- .Sydney Danielle · Top Commenter · Works at Countess of ScottsdaleTai Sprinkles Storey Kinda wondered this about the last one. They assume anyone taking the quiz for any reason must be white. I think it really distracts from the point they're trying to make if the answers only imply "white supremacy" when you assume a) only white people consume this media, and b) all of those white people are checking these answers under a specific set of circumstances.
- .Patrick Lowery · Graduate Teaching/Research Assistant at The University of South CarolinaYou checked off 0 out of 52 on this list!
Congratulations! You benefit from white supremacy- .Andrea Catalina García-Vargas · News blogger/writer at BustleAnnie Taylor I was confused about that, too, but I wonder if it's trying to say that all of us live and breathe white supremacy. It's what our society is based on.
But regardless of the results I got, the process of taking the quiz was a much needed bucket of water on the head. Reminded me a lot of the things I take for granted because I'm white. - .Maria Fernanto · Top CommenterAnnie Taylor cause whoever made this thought that even checking ONE of these means that person benefits from white supremacy and didn't bother to make more results :D so if someone has asked to see the manager of a McDonald's regardless of color they benefit from our supremancy, yaaay!! :D
- .Felicia Borrelli · Admin at Everything Kellin QuinnBuzzfeed needs to just stay away from any race based quizzes.
.Megan McEahernI'm not going to deny at all that white supremacy is a real thing but this quiz was just a bit too harsh.- .Madeleine McIlheran · Top Commenter · The Catholic University of AmericaThings that do not exist outside the human mind and thus are irrelevant to anything: race and the significance of skin color. White supremacy is really bad, but so is a culture that faults white people simply for not being "of color", making us inherently evil oppressors.
- .Ben Richard · Top Commenter · Bradley, Maine"so is a culture that faults white people simply for not being "of color", making us inherently evil oppressors"
Uh, no such thing exists. If you think our culture "faults white people simply for not being "of color"," you've got your racist white head so far up your ass you can see your tonsils.
Gotta love the way right wingers think that being held accountable for their actions and no longer having exclusive access to privilege counts as persecution. Yeah, conservative Christians, you're not allowed to treat gay people like trash any more, and you're no longer allowed to demand that our entire culture cater exclusively to fundamentalist Christian interests. Yeah, you're basically being thrown to the lions.
- .Cara Creager · Top Commenter · Detroit MercyOh, lord Jesus, take the wheel. Let the bullshit comments begin.
- .Rebecca Lynn · Pine River BackusWow. I come from a very mixed family from a racially tolerant yet not very diverse Midwest town. Moving to the south, I see this white hatred daily yet I can't point it out or I'm racist. This article is so thoroughly racist. I get told I don't understand because I'm not of color. Then what am I, blank? I'm part native but can't talk about my heritage roots because the European side "settled" the land as if I hurt my own people on the other side personally. I do medical transport, auto locking doors on my vehicle...passenger was livid and said they where locked because they were black. Some people pretend I don't even exist in situations where Spanish is the only language to communicate and YES I was speaking Spanish. This is white hatred people. It hurts just as if it was against any other race. This sucks that this force of racism is not only tolerated but accepted in our society. Thumbs down in this site for tolerating it.
- .Rebecca Lynn · Pine River BackusSince I posted this, a man called me Caucasian and I had to explain why I hate that word because my ancestors are not from tha Caucasus mountains and the man who coined it believed some skulls he found there came from the most beautiful race on the planet.
He said he didn't want to say white cause it might offend me. Huh?
- .Gregory Haroutunian · Top Commenter · Georgetown UniversityFor the record, it's stuff like this that makes people like me respond to modern day complaints by some members of some other "identities" with a groan. Also for the record: Collective punishment/collective guilt is not a morally or ethically or logically reasonable position to hold, nor for that matter do all of these things have anything to do with "supremacy". It is true that people can be racists against Caucasians. It is true that it is something to be bristled at when lumped into a synthetic and false category (like "white") that merely perpetuates the very racial issues those who support equality should oppose. Neither of these has anything to do with supremacy (I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't like being called by their racial identifier who aren't white, so what is the point of that?) Also what is the "you've asked to see a manager"? I know quite a few non-white people who, upon receiving failed service, demanded to see a manager. My good friend is a manager at a department store and plenty of the people who demand to see him after they believe an associate has messed up are non-white. So...seriously, you are hurting whatever cause you are trying to support.
