Now It doesn’t take genius to see that, while whites were allowed to build equity and advance their education, blacks were simply struggling to achieve their “Inalienable rights” to be treated equally.
This would be a valid excuse, if you subscribe to the generational wealth theory.
Unfortunately for you, plenty of people have no generational wealth yet still somehow manage to do well in this country.
Of particular interest is the millions of immigrants who have come here since the Civil Rights era, many with no money and not even being able to speak English, and those groups have still passed the black community while it blames the white man for never being able to get on its feet. Thats been going on for 50 years.

Really?
Could you list some of these Democrats that changed parties?

Also, this argument only makes sense in the context of race being at the center of every individual’s life. What about individual initiative, ambition, talent?

You've only convinced yourself there's systemic racism with your post. Here's all you need to know about perceived systemic racism......it essentially doesn't exist. How do I know? Because black immigrants from all other countries excel at reaching middle class or higher economic status in the US when compared to blacks who were born here. This level of economic class achievement is the same for all immigrants in the US. If systemic racism was an issue it would be easily proven by looking at immigrants of non white ethnicity being oppressed and there's no evidence to show that....actually the facts show otherwise.

I remember some of my "wealthier" black classmates (at least a lot wealthier than I was) in grad school talking about the racism they endured whenever they walked into a store on Rodeo Drive
Growing up I was friends with George Foreman’s daughter when I was like 16 and she was a year younger. I was at her house doing a project and we took a break and she said ‘hey do you wanna see the car I’m getting when I turn 16?’ So we went to the garage and I was expecting a sweet mustang or something and she pulls the cover off a brand new white Ferrari with tan leather interior.
That may be a big reason why I have a hard time believing in white privilege.

Well, to be fair, it was a WHITE Ferrari. So, clearly there's "white" privilege there.

The 38 NAYS on that bill that was signed into law by Clinton.... they were ALL GOP save 1. And it was mainly SOUTHERN GOP senators that saw what it would do and did not vote for it!
You are not going to rewrite history.

First off can you give us an example of something that happened or was implemented in the last 40 to 50 years? Something where a majority of the citizens in this country backed and impacted the black community?
Secondly, not sure what you are smoking but this paragraph about the GI Bill is complete and utter bullshite!
As a former military officer I counseled numerous Marines about the program. Everyone that elected into the program and used it swore by it. I have had numerous of my Marines look me up and thank me for pushing them to participate in the program.

The GI Bill helped white Americans prosper and accumulate wealth in the postwar years, it didn’t deliver on that promise for black veterans. In fact, the wide disparity in the bill’s implementation ended up helping drive growing gaps in wealth, education and civil rights between white and black Americans. While the GI Bill’s language did not specifically exclude African-American veterans from its benefits, it was structured in a way that ultimately shut doors for the 1.2 black veterans who had bravely served their country during World War II, in segregated ranks.

A lot of people are keeping themselves down by not valuing education enough to actually study and by bad attitudes that blame everyone else for their poor performance.

It took them 10 years, 10 fricking years, to begin to flourish. It is education, hard work, and focusing on family.

Actually, for the most part, they wouldn't exist in any form. Their ancestors were plucked out of the jungle typically by warring tribes. White people didn't go into the jungles to capture these people.
So, if they hadn't been sold into slavery they would have been killed and probably eaten.

Talking about white privilege and racism is broad and there is no specific target other than Trump and his supporters. If you are white and liberal, you aren't privileged unless you signal and renounce your privilege. Crazy pills.
Liberals spend so much time talking about White Privilege. Let’s examine Liberal Privilege core beliefs:
- If we say it, it is factual
- Our media represents journalism and truth
- It is our right to control others
- We don’t have to tolerate other opinions
- When we are offended others actually have to acknowledge and care
- There are two (2) sets of rules - one (1) for us and (1) for everyone else
- Dont apply our rules or beliefs to us
