The primary colors and primary pigments are also opposite [or complementary, if you prefer.]

The best explanation I could ever come up with to explain it to students was that a color seen from a pigment is actually what it "rejects." It absorbs everything else. Something that's black absorbs all colors; That it means it absorbs "all the white." There is nothing to reflect, so it appears black. A red dress actually isn't red -- it's everything but red.

The black lettering suggests black people cannot spell. It is raciss.

You forgot the most important white privilege:

A white person is more likely than not to have a father. The odds are better than three to one that a black child has a sperm donor.

I wonder if The Congressional White Caucus, The NAAWP (The National Association of White People) and the United Whitey College Fund are aware of these this injustice?

Compare the black cultures across the planet to all others for production
and social growth. Reality is a nose punch on a cold morning .

I’ve seen it said here that “White Privilege” is what the jealous call “White Competence.”

We should respond with that at every opportunity.

"...There is no such thing as white privilege."

White privilege can more accurately be described as the long-term planning, intellect, and responsibility that are the norm among white people, coupled with their law-abidingness and desire to create and leave something for their descendants.

So yeah, it exists and no, it's not what the leftists think it is.

That’s not “privilege.” Privilege is, by definition, something GIVEN. If you earn it, it’s less a privilege than it is your due.

But to your point, if our melanin-intensive brothers would demonstrate the same behaviors, it is likely they would realize the same “privileges.”

Fascinating story, very inspiring.

Your granddaughters are very lucky to have you for a grandma.
