But a couple of blacks using the black power sign is perfectly fine.

I’m offended that they are offended by something that was totally innocuous. Everyone is offended...so why not me?

I got a White Privilege credit card and got one for my son. He showed it to his brother in Chicago. Now he and my grandson both have one as well.

A fun thing to do - AFTER you’ve eaten your food at a restaurant - is, as you pay, show the card and ask if they honor the 20% discount. :)

Yes. It’s actually any hand gesture made by a white person. Here are some common white power signals. There are hundreds more.
