Impossible to have a serious conversation with him wehen he refuses to even address the actual issue.
How 'bout it SN? Can we have a discussion about "white privilege" without you mentioning "guilt", or "slavery", or "reparations"? I have not seen one person here on favor of reparations except you. I am pretty sure we are all opposed to reparations.
Typical response, I am the one that is only narrowly comprehending the bigger issue... Not you. Me. Seems legit.
It is me that you can't have a serious conversation with... again, not you who has addressed the actual issue, but me. Sure, go with that angle. I don't think it works in the courtroom, but hey, you're the lawyer.
The last bit is even more funny when you have mentioned strawman several times, which I was able to show that my points weren't strawmen at all. Only for you to do another strawman, and say that I am in favor of reparations. No, I am clearly not in favor of reparations, however, blacks think they are owed reparations.
White privilege is a made up term, to continue shaming whites for our accomplishments. If I am successful at work, it isn't because I worked hard, no the reason I am successful is because of the color of my skin. If I don't look at the monuments erected to honor great white men and see them as what they were, slave owners, then I am full of white privilege. If a white woman who doesn't know me smiles at me and returns my hello, then that is white privilege. (funny thing, last night, I had to go tell a black couple that a part of the building was closed for the night, and when I opened the door and said "hello", the response from the black guy was "AWW, Damn!").
Maybe I just need some of these:

Cause nothing screams privilege more than being able to tell someone of another race all about their privilege.
