Okay thanks! Great discussion.
Oh you kid.
Racists and self-loathers use the term as often as possible.
I agree that White Fragility is racist, dismissive and condescending. Privilege is real and more predominant in White America but not exclusive to White America so, in my view, the qualifier should be dropped.
As a white male, I should have the same right as anyone else to label something as personally offensive and all those virtuous souls around me, honor that request and stop using the phrase.
Chinese flu?
At least the N word, originally referred to a country in Africa. “White Privilege,” is entirely a racial slur. Tell that term to poor white people, what privilege do they have? They are both racial slurs.
One of those terms is a lot worse than the other. You can tell because you won’t type out the other word.
If the idea is that black people cannot solve their problems short of white people developing an exquisite sensitivity to how privileged they are, then we in the black community are being designated as disabled poster children.
That isn’t the idea. Try harder.

“I want what you have but without the work”.
Mostly because they’ve no damn clue.
“I want it and I want it NOW!”
Doesn’t work that way and never will.

I think, just admit there are people who are jealous of other’s hard work and success. Race isn’t a factor. Envy is.

White America
Racist, divisive and aggressive term.
This thread shows that some people have no idea what “white privilege” means. “White privilege” doesn’t mean white people were “given” anything. These false premise threads are a dime a dozen.

White privilege implies an advantage. What’s an advantage if it’s not given?
TommyLucchese:White privilege absolutely exists and it’s not a racial slur. That’s stupid. And it’s even better when you’re destitute. I shamelessly exploited my white privilege to escape the ghetto.
It exists. It is a racial slur.
What it actually is is “majority privilege”.
Eh @conan ?
If all white people were conspiring for the benefit of all other white people against all other people, there might be a “white privilege” or “majority privilege”.
They arent.
There isn’t.

It doesn’t have to be a conspiracy. It’s natural order.
