Does anyone actually ask you?

Do you doubt that being white is an advantage in white-dominated culture?

Maybe 50 years ago when the laws were set up to benefit the Whites. We have since overcompensated.

Do you doubt that Whites are disadvantaged in majority black countries?

While certainly the United States is majority white, many of us in the south live in majority black cities with black mayors, etc.

When discussing white privilege, many of us are actually in the minority where we live.

Tell them that at the heart of the "White Privilege" narrative is their own belief in White Supremacy.

"White people" built "Systems" that discriminate and favor "White people" globally. POC were not able to create these same "Systems" of "Power" to give their descendants the same "POC Privilege".

Their entire argument is that white people in the past were superior to their own ancestors and more advanced and capable of implementing a Global System, and their own ancestors could not.

I tell them I fully recognize and embrace the tradition and expectation of generational responsibility passed on throughout my family's history.

Is that like asking do you doubt that being black is an advantage in a black-dominated culture such as Africa because being black in Africa doesn't equate to being privileged, otherwise they wouldn't have all the poverty problems over there.

Privilege is not inherited. Lot of white degenerates here in the states to make the case privilege is not inherited.

Laugh at them and ask them if they are stupid or special.

i ask them if they support the decriminalization of all drugs

if they don't, i ask them why they support the largest oppressive institution of black people in the US

i've only gotten to do this twice

i mean i don't doubt there are some advantages in this context

however, asians are the highest earning racial group, so it's not THAT powerful or oppressive of a system

when the largest racial group isn't even the most successful racial group, the argument becomes difficult to rectify

Well if you frequent a college campus these days and are a white male and even remotely display signs of not being a progressive liberal...very likely actually.
