Regarding the main topic though, I think white privilege is a real, and most don't know they have it.
If you can drive down the street with a broken tail light, with absolutely no fear that you will end up being shot by the police, that is an example of white privilege. It's subtle, but it's everywhere and we who are white are often blissfully ignorant of it.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." Lyndon B. Johnson

I think you're a fucking idiot...
White privilege is a leftist way to CREATE the victim they need...
And you're is description is incorrect...
WHITE privilege was Jim Crow...
WHITE privilege was RED LINING...
ACTUALLY white privilege did exist until around 1964...
targeting by police is not a issue of white privilege...

This statement was made BEFORE passing civil rights when WHITE PRIVILEGE really did exist...
and Johnson was a racist DEMOCRAT

This can only make you wonder how much racist BS was manufactured under Obama!? From the Trayvon thugs, to all of the school shootings that went on under Obama! How many school shootings are you hearing about under Trump!?
Is there no limits to what crazy liberals will sink in order to push their agenda / narrative!?
And all of this is in Chicago - a liberal bastion! This man is VERY SICK, much like every liberal out there!

You were the one who brought up fear of being shot by police then you used Trayvon as an example...
Trayvon getting shot has NOTHING to do with WHITE privilege...
People get away with a lot...there are many forms of privilege that actually do exist...
political privilege...
celebrity privilege...
but the idea that white people get a pass simply for being white is absurd...
I will bet you Bill Cosby's children got a LOT more privilege than I did growing up...
Hollywood is putting pressure on Fox to stand by Jussie Smollett, so Fox released a statement saying that Smollett is not being written off of Empire.
Hollywood pressured ABC to dismiss Rosanne Barr from her show, and ABC dismissed her.
Jussie Smollett committed a felony, Rosanne Barr tweeted. Jussie Smollett lied to the Police. Rosanne tweeted about Valerie Jarret.
Rosanne Barrs Show was the Number 1 show on television with over 10 million viewers every show when she was fired and she was the Star.
Jussie Smollett is a bit player in a show that has fewer than 6 million viewers.
If we allow this to happen and we remain silent we are suborning the behavior of the Hollywood Elite and the Liberal Intelligentsia. We are telling them to keep on doing it, keep on trying, keep on destroying lives.
Hollywood Elites and Liberals are showing you the kind of world they want it to be. Its not about White Privilege or Black Privilege. It is about THEIR Privilege and THEIR Way. Its about what THEY believe and what THEY want.

I agree 100% and I should mention this same double standard is playing out in Georgia where a Democrat found to have been wearing blackface and appearing with full dress KKK gear is getting a pass while many others have lost their jobs.
I have ALWAYS felt the Democrats have been guilty of this double standard and not just exclusively to race, but EVERYTHING. It's time for it to stop!
