I have white, polite, middle-aged, sober woman privilege when the police pull me over.

They don’t expect trouble or danger from me. Am I supposed to act up to prove that women are as dangerous as men, that middle aged people are as wild as young?

I can do nothing to build up other people’s privilege, to change the expectations brought out by differing behavior patterns of different groups.

I could surely do my small part to dismantle white, middle-aged woman privilege by acting badly. Develop a local reputation, perhaps recruit friends to do the same.

Is that what they mean by dismantling privilege?

I share your same privilege but not too long ago, privilege was called stereotype. And you are correct - it’s up to black people to change the negative stereotypes surrounding them. And they know it.

White privilege is being used to take the focus off of black dysfunction and their own complicity in it. If black people started to take responsibility for their own mess, the whole racial grievance machine would come to a screeching halt. And the democrats would never win another election.
