What is "White Privledge"?

[*Nately120*]

I first learned that racial privileges existed when I was in 8th grade and our all-white Catholic school basketball team faced off against an all black, urban team in a scrimmage. I recall attempting a prayer of a shot that a guy who was nearly a foot taller than me jumped about 10 feet in the air to swat into the stands. I think at that point I turned to the coach and was just like "Why are we doing this?"

All I know is that if I can be in that situation and 100% believe that no matter how hard I practice, the fact that I was born shorter and whiter than that guy made engaging in competition all but pointless SURELY that situation could apply to other scenarios and races. I don't think any of us took the loss to be anything embarrassing because the excuse was "Sure we lost, but they're all black so what did you expect?"

I recall a buddy of mine asking a local yokel who won the high school football game and the guy said "Well, they had a colored kid running the ball." and that was all the explanation he needed to give. The way he said it it was like he was almost accusing the other team of cheating, or not cheating but breaking some rule of sportsmanship by bringing in a ringer who happened to be of this masterful athletic race.

Anyways, I've seen enough white people act like blacks are just born unfairly advantaged when it comes to sports to excuse blacks who want to gripe that being white has some real-life perks, too.
