Again, as I state in many other arguments, the problem with the whole "white privilege" issue is that a lot of people who argue about it have their own idea of what "white privilege" means. To me, white privilege doesn't mean that everyone who is white is somehow richer or automatically better off than everyone else. To me, white privilege is a type of privilege that exists for every race. I am a black man and I believe there is black privilege. I believe there are various types of privileges that exist for everyone. I even believe there is heterosexual privilege. I cut some just 'cause it was long, but I really enjoyed the post. I have a feeling this thread is about to be sent to hell per ush, so I figured I get that in beforehand. (Edit: Whoops, looks like I took too long) My biggest gripe is that the concept of white privilege is equated with the concept of white guilt by some people, while the two couldn't be more different. I've noticed privilege (especially while working in the court system!) and while I'm sure that there are certain privileges that minorities get, I'm sure they pale in comparison to those enjoyed by the majority. It's not about feeling bad or guilty, but trying to understand and recognize the obstacles that centuries of racial division has created in our society. It'll take more time still, as represented so well presently.

Agreed. It's one thing to know that there is a systematic problem and it's another thing to think you should be guilty about it for just being a white dude.

No one is sitting around complaining. More like making an observation of how silly it is. Black history is an integral part of American history. Even some black people think its silly. http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/blackhistory.asp C'mon liberals...let's show some progress and get out of the dark ages!

However Matt, most of what you are describing is not white privilege but rather plain old bigotry, and I'm sorry you had those experiences.

They need to label a month to make it look like they ae actually paying any attention to black history. We should be recognizing and celebrating all history all year long. It's just comical that they shoved it into the shortest month on the calendar. This article is fantastic in the fact that it shows how ridiculous the history actually is .... And how much it's swept under the rug. The 60's and beyond have done quite a lot to keep black people down. The fact it's ignored is absurd.
