Are you really sure that is what white priviledge means? Because you could argue that the reason white people have it easier on average has not so much to do with the colour of their skin but the socioeconomic situation that corelates with skin color. It would be ridiculous to assume that the difference of outcome in prosperity is to be found in the color of a persons skin.
Ok, Ive got to admit Ive seen and heard a lot of stupid things, but Ive rarely ever encoutered something as stupid as this. The assertion that "white priviledge" as you describe it exist and that we should take action to aleviate its effects has a lower standart of evidence than any theory that Alex Jones's mind is able to make up.
What is sad to me is how you don't read rest of the post in this topic and you paint me right winger just because I disagree with left. Right shout control, left shout 'let them in', with immigrants issue only right have propositions how to help, while left would say 'abolish borders'. Do you think people that are so tolerant they just watch they own country burn while adding fuel to fire will help you?
Well I guess that every country have their own cleptocrats. Sadly they (Nigerian intellectuals) should just grow some balls and abolish them, instead trying to hide in shadow of old 'masters'.

I fixed it for you.
Rich people have it easier then poor people.
All you are advocating for is to make those on the botton rung of society more desperate by segregating them out of what few avenues of advancement they have by race.
You are actively bringing into being the thing you are afraid of.
You attribute the inequality of outcome to a mystical force that you've chosen to name not god, not allah, but "white priviledge". Not once have you demonstrated it exists, instead you've done like creatonists do and pointed at the inequality and told us "if not for white priviledge what else could have caused this outcome? for that it must be white priviledge that caused this!". You DO know these people that say "only an intelligent designer could have created something as beautiful and complex as this"? At its core it is the very same argument.
This is a complex question and you have no satisfying answer to it. So you've made one up, one which conveniently is easy to sell and doesnt require the disadvantaged parties with their perpetually outraged spokespeople to take part of the blame and responsibility for their present situation.
On a side note: The belief in the existence of white priviledge is also incredibly US-centric.
So no, it is not a fact, is a fad.

Absolutely. Rich people are born into privilege. And?
I haven't advocated anything. I said white people on average have it easier than black people. That's a fact, and it seems to have upset you.All you are advocating for is to make those on the botton rung of society more desperate by segregating them out of what few avenues of advancement they have by race.
The old "If you point out racism, you are the racist!" card. That's never going to be a compelling argument, no matter how many times you guys repeat it.You are actively bringing into being the thing you are afraid of.

White privilege means that white people have it easier on average than black people. Do you believe that that is false?

No, thats not what it means. What the term entails is an explanation for WHY those who push this phrase on the rest of us believe white people have it easier than black people. Its not "white advantage", "white superiority", "white luck", "white effort", "white achievement" or even "white progressiveness". It is "white PRIVILEDGE", the term and its associations was choosen deliberately and you would do well to not dismiss that.
It would be great if you could try not to redefine the term on your own every two posts. One might come to the conclusion that you just try to dodge around the issue.
If you have trouble understanding the phrase I suggest not using it.

On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism. Bellingcat is an MI6/CIA cut out. Clyburn Truther.
Like asian priviledge or jewish priviledge?
Both groups are more successful in the US, both are less likely to go to prison than whites, both groups make more money on average, graduate more often from institutions of higher education, and they come out ahead in other comparisons to whites.
Lets apply this: If such a thing as "privilege" exists and the fact that X has it better than Y, this difference must be attributed to "privilege" because assuming Y has not worked as hard and not smart as X would be "racist". So if in this case X are the jews, was .... Hitler right?
I have trouble agreeing with this theory but I find myself open to new ideas all the time, especially if they sound as fun as this one.

You want an example about how easy it is to make people resentful of your success
Just use an alt-right approved ''kluver kude word'' for ''people with privilege'' : elites.
Oh let me guess : when someone from the [I]lefty/I] says that social woes are because of privilege, they are insane kommies, but if someone screams about elites that will be shot on the day on the rope, he ''iz right''
Oh, I see, I'm ''on something'' to point out that ''white privilege'' use the same rhetoric as ''elite'' but one is kool kauze youtubers with Nazi flag tell it's true,
As for the day of the rope, it's the kind of things the alt-right dream of every day and show their real obsessions : kill every single non white and kills as ''race traitor'' woman who refuse to breed pure white babies for their Aryan owners. That's right, folk : the supervirile dudes of the alt-right are so sure of their seducting power that in their own drivel, they have to use mass executions to get laid.

Yeah, you have to be completely insane to point out that alt-right agitprop handlers just have to snap their fingers and say ''elite'' to make their followers jump through hoops.
Gotcha : elite is true, because its used by the alt right gurus. white privilege is false, because it's left. It would be COMPLETELY stupid to imagine that the people that use ''white privilege'' to explain their own failures are not that different from people using ''elites'' to explain their own.
