i'm not going to say whites are better than blacks, but if "white privilege" includes positive cultural traits (like 2-parent households), then what is being implied is that "white culture" (if you're calling that a white trait) is just superior to "black culture", implicitly. that's a major issue (and a reason why i keep asking for a definition)
that's the fine line you walk with these discussions. the whole "subtle racism of lowered expectations"
asians were restricted in property ownership in many areas of the west, too

Lets pretend white privilege DOES exist and lets take 10,000 people, 5000 black and 5000 white, and pick the top 1000(the top 10%) contributing members to society in todays America. Will it consist of 500 of each racial group? If not, what is the percentage? Is it 90% white and 10% black? 60/40? 30/70? If your % is biased towards whites how much of that is "white privilege"?

Perhaps, but in no way near the scale of blacks.
