People Are Sharing The Craziest Things They’ve Gotten Away With Due To ‘White Privilege’ And It’s Actually Insane

In today’s political climate, race is a constant topic on everyone’s mind. In America, there is no denying that having “white privilege,” is a thing—regardless if you realize it or not. Being white protect many people from mistreatment that many minorities endure while living in America, and other places around the world. 

Need proof?

Recently, Twitter user @Freeyourmindkid asked the Internet to share the “most outrageous things they’ve gotten away with as a white person,” knowing that a black or brown person would have never gotten away with.

Before long, white people all over the world were sharing the outrageous, illegal, and ridiculous things they have done in their lives (even in front of law enforcement) and have gotten away with—free of tickets, scrapes, and even death.

Kicking a cop after he threw me on the ground, and then getting in his face after I escaped my handcuffs. #MyWhitePrivilege

A LOT of shoplifting when I was younger: even when I was caught all I got was a slap on the wrist. But nobody was watching the white girl in the polo shirt, they were too busy scrutinizing the Hispanic and Latinx kids. #MyWhitePrivilege

As a teen I spat in a cop’s face when he broke up a party I was at and all he did was drive me home and tell my mom that I was a “trouble-maker” #MyWhitePrivilege

Renewing my Greencard I was seriously taken from the back of a hours-long line & put directly in the interviewers office. I thought I was in trouble for something actually, it scared me. In & out in 15 min. It wasn’t till I was leaving that I realized it was #MyWhitePrivilege

My white friend reversed down a hiway off ramp because he took the wrong exit. I was freaking out in the passenger seat. Cop stopped us, reprimanded my friend for his stupidity, and told us to "get a move on". #MyWhitePrivilege

Despite slacking off, dropping out, and generally fucking up for years, I was given seemingly infinite passes and 2nd chances, and never had to worry that my lack of effort or bad attitude would reflect badly on my community. #MyWhitePrivilege

Got pulled over and kept my hands visible, on the wheel. Asked the cop for permission to reach into my glove box to retrieve paperwork. Cop chuckled & told me, "YOU don't need to worry about doing all that."#MyWhitePrivilege

I locked myself out of my condo, and I had to unlock the window and crawl in. A passing cop saw me struggling to open the window and, with no hesitation, jumped in to help me. He had no reason to believe it was my house. He said I didn’t “look like a thief”. #MyWhitePrivilege

Got financing to buy a house as a 30 year old pizza cook. I've never been denied a line of credit actually. #MyWhitePrivilege

As a white woman I can walk into any salon and a stylist of any race will be able to cut, color, and style my hair. Everyone learns to empathize with and cater to white people. #MyWhitePrivilege
