Privilege ...what do think when you hear this word used in politics?

That the person has chosen to ignore facts and will base their argument in emotion

Whoever is saying it is a dumbfrick who only spews talking points without a deep understanding of the issues. Basically, democraps

Is Liberal dog whistle for= systemic white oppression

It's usually a pretty good indicator that the person using it is not prepared to deal in facts.

I'm out as soon as I hear it because it's a "strategy" word and not a "truth" word. Dishonest people use it.

The first thing I think of is affirmative action. If you’re an African American or a woman, you’re pretty much guaranteed a job over a white male, even if you’re not as qualified.

What do I think when I hear the term???? Members of Congress

I think it’s a divisive term.

I think it does a great disservice to lots of people. Try convincing a poor white person in Appalachia that he has white privilege that he apparently hasn't had access to, and you will find him deaf to any other argument, even ones to his benefit.

I think the term "white privilege" is a roundabout way of talking about class, but it inculcates groups of people who have never had access to this supposed privilege. If people want to talk about class, that discussion is something that would cross racial lines in my view.

It's a way to shift responsibility from individuals to the collective so you can generalize and stereotype without feeling like a hypocrite
