@ponderable saidYes I know. Some people believe all white people experience a special Privelege. They give it a name, White Privelege.
Some white people have difficulties with gasping reality, some with orthography, some with logic.
There are even some who claim to speak the truth when they don't....
The propositions are absolutely sensless and the OP knows it (If not they should)
It will be interesting to see if anyone is willing to discuss the topic. So far, just an attempt to deflect.
@eladar saidWhite privilege is actually a stupid term and the use should be stopped. It implies the issue is that white people are more successful. That's not the issue.
No white person has been killed by cops. No white people go to jail. All white people make at least 100k per year.

The issue is the brutality, exploitation and oppression whites have used to gain their current standing. That's the problem.
Instead of "white privilege", a more honest term like "white oppression" should be used. It's less PC, but hey, conservative whites are always complaining things are too PC...unless it's about them, like Earl of Trumps complaining the term "White Privilege" hurts their feelings.

One vote for doing away with the term white privelege.

@vivify saidNearly all whites? What percent?
No. But nearly all whites benefit from that oppression. And too many whites continue that oppression.
In the US about 10 percent of whites live in poverty, while 20 percent of blacks.
Nearly all Americans, white and black do not live In poverty.
Not sure I would say 80 percent is that much different than 90 percent. Certainly not enough to claim systemic oppression.
@vivify saidI don't like the term "white privilege" because it implies not being invidiously discriminated against is a "privilege" rather than a Natural Right.

Of course, the OP is non-serious.
@mott-the-hoople saidSlavery, red-lining, Jim Crow laws, a president endorsed multiple times by the KKK banning Muslims, Joe Arpaio rounding up Hispanics without probable cause or due process and putting them in chains, outspoken white supremacist Stephen Miller designing racist government policies for Trump, Republican voter suppression of minorities, the U.S. treatment of Puerto Ricans and citizens of Guam, The U.S. invasion of Iraq, white cops shooting nonviolent unarmed black men in the back, white cops choking nonviolent unarmed black men do death, white cops pressing their knee into the neck of nonviolent unarmed blacks until they die, white cops shooting unarmed nonviolent black men on the ground who have their hands up while helping disabled people, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc......
would like for you to give me an example of "white oppression".
