White Privilege?

I made the quote above to illustrate that if you are claiming there is racial privilege, then there are more types than just white privilege. Minorities can bestow privilege on other minorities. The examples above support that position undeniably.

Then in your exchange with Phil, you post the following to support your position that only white privilege exists:

What you are claiming are positions of power and influence over others in your example look extremely similar to the positions of power and influence over others in my examples, don't they?

Sorry fred, but you can't have it both ways. If white people in those positions can have major influence in the community and bestow racial privilege on others, then minorities in those positions can do the same. If racial privilege exists as you claim, then minority privilege exists along with it. If minority privilege doesn't exist then neither does white privilege.
