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

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

Using your "logic,"

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
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.

Everyone accepts your statistics-- nobody is arguing the percentages of black babies born to 2 parent households versus whites. The conclusion of what that means is where I think the argument is. Obviously it is advantageous to be white and have a better chance of being in a much more healthier environment. To simply call that "white privilege" basically excuses those bad choices and naturally creates a victim mentality and jealousy from the othe group.
Basically I get all your math and I understand the concept of "privilege" but like you alluded too the left has based one of their biggest weapons to courting and keeping minority groups by saying your a victim of this privilege. Not only that, it totally leaves out of the equation the conversation about WHY those decisions were previously made and maybe even HOW this better way can be such a positive. No the left would rather just coddle you as a vulnerable victim.
