A wide variety of historical, economic and cultural forces combine to allow a larger percentage of whites to climb up the socioeconomic ladder than Blacks and Hispanics.
Some people call the combined effects of these forces “white privilege.” Though these words are commonly used, research by Lia Bozarth and me has found that use of “white privilege” on social media can actually decrease support for racially progressive policies.
We found that the term can increase online political polarization and lead to lower quality conversations on social media. In particular, the term drives some whites who would otherwise support efforts toward racial equality away from online conversations.......
The term “white privilege” had two effects.
The first was to decrease the quality of conversation among both whites and non-whites. There were more comments that insulted people, attacked the question itself or simply made no sense.
The second effect was to make the set of responses less supportive of renaming the buildings – and more polarized.
The people who were asked about racial inequality were, on average, very supportive. Those who thought it was a good idea to rename college buildings outnumbered opponents more than 2-to-1.

I have been told more than once that I am lucky because I’m a lawyer. My response is that I remember the day I bought the scratch ticket at the 7-11 and won a law degree, saving me the trouble of going to college for seven years, toiling over book work, which I despised, and paying thousands of dollars for the privilege. I was also spared the inconvenience of waiting until I was in my thirties to have children, living on ramen noodles and bologna sandwiches, driving a 20 year old car, and putting my wife to work. Yes, it was a real stroke of luck, and thank the lord it was all because I enjoyed white privilege.
You can extend this argument to homosexual-privilege or trans-privilege or Jewish-privilege especially in Hollywood.
Just look at the Vatican where the most vocal degenerate homo priest are promoted by the Pope, and now 80% of bishops are queer.
The normal’s are outcast and disenfranchised.
OK, so he’s still working toward it.
"White Privilege" is nothing more than a Marxist divide and conquer gimmick.
“use of “white privilege” on social media can actually decrease support for racially progressive policies.”
Lying about things makes people not like or trust you anymore. Well that’s good. I guess we’re not completely gone.
The factors holding most blacks back are nature-driven, Crime, violence, and general chaotic behavior, most of which are driven by the fact that half of them have IQs below 85.
Yup, I get to exercise my White Privilege and pay my first round of property tax this week. You know so my children can be bused to. crappy school on the other side of town.
I've decided to embrace it. According to progressive's, being a white male, I was born with superhuman 'godlike' powers granting me dominion over all other lesser razes.
I don't even need to try or be aware of my superiority it is ever present. My superior genetic DNA gives me magical power to control all which I set me eyes upon.
According to progressive, lesser razes were born with substandard intellect, work ethic and morals and a host of other defects. Therefor it is not fair for them to compete on a level playing field with superhumans such as myself. Equity can never be achieved under such circumstances because there can never be a level playing field against such god-like people.
If minorities would just stop and think about it, they would see just how insulting progressives are to them.
Yep NY Chicago St Louis Los Angeles and all the blue cities and blue states are infested with white privilege huh Moe.
The problem that I see here is not “white privilege” but the people that claim it is the problem.
Well said.
Here’s an idea… why don’t people STFU and mind their own business? Maybe go to work?
imho, the individual who tosses the ‘white privilege’ card is so g.d. stupid that he has used all of his ‘yeah but’s’, and has no more floor to stand on.
Is “white privilege” keeping Somalis down in Somalia?
I’d be satisfied if it just kept Somalis *in* Somalia.
“White privilege” is a racist term. Only racists use it.
Yeah, I’m done with all that.
