No, which is why I said I reject throwing the term around at people like it is a bad thing. What a silly thing for anyone capable of reading to ask me in response to my post.

Quote: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. 

Incorrect. In the example I mentioned (and I'll throw in a link at the end), black males who had access to higher education were at a disadvantage compared to white males with the same access. 

Quote:This just seems like a sham to make us feel bad about being something that we had zero control over.

 
No one should feel ashamed by it, hence my comment on disagreeing with it being used to shame people.

Quote: 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?

Trans racial isn't real. You cannot change your race. It's something you're born into. A white women did masquerade as a black woman for years, but she was never black nor could she ever be. However, I am sure that she had very different experiences when people believed she was indeed black. If you can pass for white, I have to imagine you may have the similar experiences as white people.
