White privilege exists, but so does an innumerable amount of other demographic privilege

Not quite sure why it’s a relevant or decisive point
Other types of privileges
1) two parent household privilege
2) First world privilege
3) having good parents privilege
4) being born in a non-remote area privilege
5) IQ privilege
6) being born in southern England vs northern England privilege
Among thousands of others
Some people start life in a better spot than others. That isn’t an excuse to not work hard and better yourself, and it isn’t a justification to go after the ones in a luckier situation.
Justice=treating people equally under the law
“There is all the difference in the world between treating people equally and attempting to make them equal”
Thomas Sowell talks about it here.

still waiting on my privilege to kick in.

Every one of those only applies if you are a cis white male, duh

The more accurate name for "white privilege" is actually "white accomplishment"

How about affirmative action for the past umpteen years....isn't that a privilege that's awarded to minorities to the detriment of whites?

Where is all this white privilege in the NBA, NFL, and other sports?

I’m not sure why it bothers other white conservatives to acknowledge privilege. . I work with lots of Black guys in my job (as well as Asians and others). There have been countless times over the last twenty years where I’ve observed subtle “racism” against them. My being white has gotten our little crew out of parking tickets, into buildings where the security was wrongfully denying access, kept some of them from being hassled by cops, etc.
Often the job involves late nights and we get questioned by cops or security. The ongoing joke is to “let me do the talking” and while it’s a joke, it comes from years of us all observing that when I as a white guy talk to cops/security things go easier. Doesn’t matter the race of the cop.
Why things like this or “privilege” as it were bothers people here when it’s acknowledge is strange.

Privilege is contextual and isn't inherently bad. The problem here is that privilege is viewed as bad but only in the case where it benefits white people. Other privileges exist but no one seems to care about those right now.

This, kinda the opposite of “street cred”.

If I were a lazy piece of shite I would be out living on the streets just like every other color human.

Sounds like something else at work wrongfully assumed to be privilege

It’s not privilege it’s a pursuit. Every American is created with the liberty to pursue it.

No group of people are more pampered and have more advantages given to them that aren't available to the rest of us than black people.

"White Privilege" is just a systemic racist term it's no better than saying cracker or honkey or the N-word.

The way I figure, some groups have had 50+ years to improve their lot. I want feel guilty if they chose to squander those opportunities.

Generational responsibility is the greatest “privilege” of all. Not really a privilege though because it takes hard work.
And no one should feel guilty about their parents and grandparents and great grandparents making more right choices than wrong choices generation after generation after generation.
