Chris Rock probably best illustrated what white privilege means when he said to an audience, "None of you white people in here would trade places with me, and I'm rich!"
Pretty sure those who allege the fallacy of white privilege would nod in agreement that they would not wish to trade places with Chris Rock and be rich if it meant also being black, and in the next breath still maintain white privilege is a fallacy. This is what is commonly known as being stupid, which is different from being ignorant. Ignorance is sort of forgivable and correctable. Stupidity is sort of not.

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
