Nobody has been able to explain exactly what this “privilege” is supposed to encompass. So it’s nothing more than a vague catch-all excuse for white success and non-white failure.

Marx — and the whole postmodern movement — relies on these tautological syllogisms to immunize themselves against any criticism. “You can’t argue with me because you’re wrong. The very fact that you’re arguing with me proves it.”
