“white privilege” is really just another complaint about those who push the concept of class envy or class warfare, within the context of race.
If you were raised by parents that had wealth and taught you to be successful, you have “privilege”. For them it only becomes a bad thing if you are white.
And everybody aspires to acquire that sort of privilege for their progeny to one degree or another. These folks are just envious when others acquire more than they do and look for a “politically incorrect” difference to point out.
Poppycock. They want people to be ashamed for working for high opportunity/civilization/culture, etc.
Somebody should throw it back in their face by calling out ‘Black Privilege’...................
My parents would hardly be considered "wealthy" in their day. My father was in his late 30's/early 40's before his income was barely considered "middle class."
Nonetheless, my parents always encouraged me to do the things to become successful, even if they didn't always know what those things were.
"Privilege": "Middle English: via Old French from Latin privilegium ‘bill or law affecting an individual,’ from privus ‘private’ + lex, leg- ‘law.’"
Privilege means being subject to a different set of rules than regular people; being able to do things that regular people would get in trouble for; being given special advantages under law.
In the US, in 2018, white people are not privileged. If anything, it is the people given special status under law, via "affirmative action" and "minority set-asides" who are privileged.
“If you were raised by parents that had wealth and taught you to be successful, you have “privilege”.”
Let me fix this for you...
If you were raised by parents that were married to each other, obeyed the law, and worked hard and taught you to to the same, you have “privilege”.
