White Privilege?

Well thanks for proving that you do not even understand what "racial profiling" means.

Hint: it has nothing to do with color of a specific alleged perpetrator.

Yes.  It is  privilege to be able to go to any city you want to and not have to worry about racial profiling.

I don't point out the disproportionate control of power and wealth as the "result" of white privilege (although that could very well be the case).  Instead I point out the disproportionate control of wealth and power to show that white people have the power to turn their racism into oppression.  I have always admitted that black people can be racist also, but the difference is that they do not have the power or control to turn their racism into oppression.

If white people didn't control so much of the power to hire, promote, fire, give contracts, approve loans, and so on then racism would not be as big of an issue.
