A privilege, just for example, would be getting a loan in the 1970's that would have been denied to the same person just for being black. Then raising children in said house, in a nice neighborhood, with nice schools. This is a rough example but gives just a small portion of the potential privilege.
We aren't in the 70's. We've already established how bad the past was. It isn't even close to that now.

Agreed. But when we put it in the context of pre-existing privilege it matters.
