Stop making stuff up.

Here is how Phil has repeatedly said that minorities will react to being told there is a "white privilerge.

Apparently Phil knows that minorities will not train to better themselves if there is any mention of a white privilege

Again Phil knows that minorities will just "sit around and do nothing".


And that is the difference between Phil and myself.  I don't think minorities are so weak and lazy that they will just give up if anyone dares to mention that white people have some privileges.

I am not afraid that my daughters will just give up and do nothing if I tell them that some people have an advantage over them.  And I'll bet Phil is not afraid to tell his children this also, but he is not worried about them giving up because they are white like him.
