    He didn't steal your wallet--you gave it to him. You just don't remember that the guy really needed some money, and the alcohol caused you to feel very generous in the moment. The fact that you regretted it after the fact shouldn't excuse you.

    He was never proven to be

    This piece of shit was also never proven to be a rapist because he wasn't on trial for that

    What if the person that stole your wallet was also blackout drunk?

    What if he was only drunk and I was blackout drunk, but I gave him money to go buy more booze. Then the next day I accuse him of theft because I don't remember giving him the money?

    It's inexcusable. However, is he a bad guy, or did he make an overwhelmingly bad decision? Both of them are scarred for life because of this.

    I have friends I grew up with that were pretty nice individuals that made 1 bad decision and went to jail.

    I get that, but it's a matter of opinion. It's fair to call him a rapist, just like it is to call Bill Cosby a rapist. Neither has been convicted of rape. OJ wasn't convicted of murder, but I can call him a murderer, because I believe he intentionally killed his ex and her boyfriend. I believe the circumstances here show Mr. Asshole Jr. to be a rapist, and there is privilege here in some sense. It's just dripping from Mr. Asshole's defense strategy, and Mr. Asshole Sr.'s letter to the judge. Whether you want to call it white privilege or class privilege or male privilege... It's there.

    Then he's a G-D thief!! He clearly took advantage of your impaired state to get you to do something you wouldn't have consented to otherwise. He violated your wallet.

    Class privilege if anything. The victim is white, so calling it white privilege makes no sense.

    No. I was tipsy, not incapacitated. My judgment was impaired but I was awake and aware of what I did. Big difference.

    It does if the question is with what would happen to a black man convicted under the same circumstances. The race of the victim is not at issue here.

    How impaired by alcohol does a woman have to be before her consent is no longer valid? .08? Unconscious? Somewhere inbetween?

    The thread is titled White Privilege at it's Finest. I just want someone to explain where the victims white privilege is? This is class privilege.

    Her white privilege is in the fact that she was listened to and that the case was prosecuted at all. Had she been black, he would have been acquitted, or perhaps not even indicted.

    I'm assuming.
