So you all don't think that given equal upbringing that there are not many more inherent advantages of being born white and being born black? By the way, I, too, do not like the frequency that the term white privilege is now being thrown around and used as an excuse. I am also for 100% accountability and personal responsibility. Personal responsibility and the advantages or disadvantages of being born a certain race are not mutually exclusive.
How can it be explained that the Chinese, Vietnamese, Asian Indians etc seem to do well in our society? I think there is a whole lot more involved than skin color involved in the equation.
It's disingenuous to look at this problem as related to skin color. It's more of a personal issue.

Like I said personal responsibility plays a role. But these groups do not have the history and recent history of significant discrimination here that blacks do. Personal responsibility and discrimination are not mutually exclusive. It's not an all or none thing.

Bc straight white men are the boogey men and we should understand we're all racist, sexist pigs who only care about fellow whites.
