Do I reject those who try to throw around "privilege" and make the majority group feel like they should be ashamed and cannot be involved in discussions to change things? Sure, but that doesn't mean I pretend like race doesn't hinder many in this country.
We live in a country where a black man with a college degree is as likely to get called back for a job as a white man who went to jail.
so you think the only way that white people understand that black people have a different expierence is by telling them they have white priv?
I could see if this had anything to do with economics. The more money your family has the better access to things you will have .... Poor white people have the same expierence as poor blacks. And rich Blacks have the same exp as rich whites.
This just seems like a sham to make us feel bad about being something that we had zero control over. However these days you can be trans race so does that mean they can be trans white and benefit from white priv? Or if white people surge to become trans black then will it be black priv then?
