If you say a white cop letting a white person go, and writing a ticket for the same offense to a black driver is white privilege, then the opposite is true also. If a black cop lets a black guy go and writes a ticket for a white motorist for the same violation, then it is black privilege.
But I will give you credit for admitting black privilege exists. In your own example, 1% may not be much, but it is still privilege.
I still call both examples racism.
I think you are finally starting to grasp the concept now.
In a country where every person gives favors to people of his own race it is a huge privilege to belong to the race that controls a large disproportionate amount of the power and wealth.
