By this definition, ANY CHILD who grows up in a two-parent home is "privileged."

Figured that out all by yourself, didn't you?

There are a lot of black children who are growing up in two-parent homes.

You're on a roll.

I guess we give credit to those black parents for that, but a similar situation for a white child constitutes white privilege?

That's insane

Well, you're the one who said it, not me, so :mirror:

And, no. I've explained it a million times, and you keep not getting it. Statistical likelihoods are not based on an individual, but on a population, in this case, of hundreds of millions of people. You're stuck in the stupid angry redneck gear of "Wayl if thay'ud git awff waylfayre 'n git uh jawb, maybe thay woodnt be so pore!"

If you're born white, you're more likely to be raised well and less likely to be pulled over by the cops for shite you didn't do than people born black. You didn't do anything to earn any special treatment, and law-abiding people born black didn't do anything to deserve any worse treatment. You are privileged in this way. You don't owe anybody anything because of this. The left operates under the premise that you do, which is your legitimate gripe in this conversation, but the statistical disparities exist among the populations, and if you can't get this--and I'm completely serious and earnest when I say this--you are a complete idiot, and I will be making assumptions about your height, weight, number of sexual partners, and annual income that I'll keep to myself.
