The Fallacy of White Privilege

[*bfine32*]

The whole premise is an argument of semantics and has gotten quite silly. Is there racism in this Nation? Absolutely. Are there situations, in which one's color may give them a "leg up"? Absolutely. Do whites has a monopoly on either of these practices? Hell No.

There are many situations, in which, being a minority gives you an advantage (affords you privilege) on a National level. Don't believe me: If your local congressman is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus (If he or she is white don't bother, as they are not allowed membership) and ask what kind of Educational Benefits are available to your child. Do this twice: Once as a parent of a white kid and once as a parent of a minority.

There are benefits Nationwide (official and cultural) for folks of all races. Using terms such as "white privilege" and "Black Lives Matter" are used more to divide and establish an us versus them mentality, than they are to look for positive solutions.
