If “White Privilege” were real, then why did Elizabeth Warren lie about being an Indian, and it worked?
It’s all crap, and too many white people are afraid to call it out. “Racist” is a slur against white people.
white privilege properly understood is not an assault on the White Race. More properly it could be defined as “white advantage”, the advantage a white person has in an interaction based on the color of skin.
There are many advantages. Skin Color, weight, height, eye color, hair color. It is said that while a jury is more likely to believe a white witness than a black witness, the bias is more pronounced between tall and short. In fact, in hiring/firing and salary, the height bias is greater than the race bias and the gender bias.
Looks is also a major bias factor, especially the symmetry of a face, and the absense of scars.
lack of disability is also an advantage, as is the ability to speak, and being in shape.
Having two parents is an advantage when young, as is how much money your parents have, but this is a different kind of advantage than the intrinsic advantage of looks.
Interestingly, the shade of skin color is a clear bias factor even among blacks. While a black person is more likely to trust another black person than a white person, their trust goes down as skin color darkens. Light-colored black people mistrust dark-skinned black people.
None of this is surprising, we all have experienced it. You may be poor, you may have lost your parents when you were young, you may have had medical issues, or other life setbacks.
But if you walk into a typical store at the same time as a black person, and pay CLOSE attention, it will become clear to you what it means when we say “white advantage”. Not always, obviously
When people say “white privilege”, just say, “You mean benefits of Protestant work ethic, don’t you,” back.
excellent-and stay on for Brandon Tatum, a black dude, it is interesting that the cancel culture is voting thumbs down by over 300,000 on this video-dwarfing the up votes-watch and give it a thumbs up if so inclined.

Very good video, but I believe that’s an archived clip of Jordan.

Geeze, for racists, white people sure have tried hard to do a lot of good things for black folks. And all just to get poked in the eye and slapped in the face.
I still don't know, but at least I found a very recent long blog post of his:

So he is still alive.
Long before ‘white privilege’ was popular, I was pointing out the racism against whites. While at San Francisco State University back before and during the first Gulf War. I would create custom posters, place them in strategic places, and then watch from nearby for the wackos’ reactions. My all time favorite was my creation ‘White Men Can’t Jump, and Black Men Can’t Add.’ Oh, the humanity! They would shout, yell, and tear them down. A week or two later I would begin again
