>> The problem is not that Whites are treated well but that Blacks are treated badly.

Really? Where do you see that? For example, when Blacks receive special treatment when seeking financing through SBA? Or when "Black Farmers" receive $4 Billion in debt relief while white farmers get nothing? Just because black farmers are black? That kind of "White Privilege"?

Or when moderately performing black students receive placement ahead of well-performing white students in universities? Or when Barack Obama -- a poor quality lawyer -- is given the editorship of the Harvard Law Review while never having published a single scholarly article in it?

Do you think it is white privilege that yields all those athletics scholarships for black athletes?

Is it white privilege that allows black men to loot the Gucci store in NYC while white men who steal are prosecuted? Same applies to setting fires and other crimes?

You just have to know how absurd the claim of white privilege is. For there to be "white privilege" you have to show there privilege first and you cannot do that.

And of course, here's where the left drags out the, "Well obviously there is white privilege. Just look around you." And I look around me and just spout off 50 more examples of black privilege.

I don't now who has the ever-so-slight privilege at this moment. I would say OJ Simpson had some damned seriously black privilege, wouldn't you?

Only blacks can threaten voters with baseball bats and have the Attorney General of the United States say, "Nothing to see here!"

Only a black person can rationalize voting for a president because he is black. That's privilege.

So, how about how all this fits in with your notion of white privilege?
