I don't mind you saying I have white privilege as long as you honestly acknowledge that your race & gender also comes with privileges.
That happening is pretty rare though.

  Actually no. The south has the highest concentration of black people versus every other region in the country. There is no privilege to simply being fucking white
  Its a skin tone. Are most wealthy people white? Because of history yes a good portion or majority of the wealthy are white but the wealthy are still a very small portion of our society. Being poor sucks regardless of your race especially in a capitalist society.

Wow, lots of silliness. Here, I'll do a much better job:

Suck it up, buttercup. People who get offended at the term "white privilege" are just whiny little bitches who need to put on their big people panties and act like adults.

  How dose the fact that other white people, The Queen, Prince Charles, George Osbourn, Jacob Rees-Mog and Donald Trump were born rich help poor white people like me? You might as well say some poor Arab who's just seen his family blown up by the Israelis Air force is priveliged because he's the same race as The Sultan Of Brunie and King What's his name of Saudi Arabia.

  @D_Bone_Steak, obviously, those whiners who get butthurt over "white privilege" have a long way to go before they can get past panties. Have you put on your big boy panties, yet? Or are you still butthurt over the phrase "white privilege"?

  @Soblfob, awwwwwww, you POOR WIDDLE SNOWFWAKE! It's so HARD to be you, isn't it? Suck it up, buttercup. Try living your selfsame life as someone with all your shit PLUS being black. "White privilege" doesn't mean we all get to live like Donald Trump and that nobody shits on us. It means that it is even WORSE for people who don't have the right skin color.

That's right. Whites are no more special than others.

However, Black History Month should also offend you.

  Because there's no White History month, so why should blacks be recognized when whites are not?

  I want you to think about possible reasons we have black history month just for a little bit. And why having white history month wouldn't make sense.

  For the idiots who decided to THUMBS DOWN my comment.
  I did NOT support nor oppose the writers opinion.
  You ever heard of “Free Speach”?

  To be fair those who are down voting you are technically expressing free speech as well. It is welcomed.

  Just for future reference, freedom of speech means that the Government isn't supposed to take any action against you for your opinions. Your average person of course is more than free to give you a thumbs down or even express if they disagree with you, to which you of course are free to continue a rebuttal.
  
  Having the freedom to do something does NOT, I repeat NOT mean that there are no consequences for those actions. You get to choose your actions, you do not get to choose your consequences.
  
  Also thanking the writer for taking the time to make this is of course implying that you agree with him as it is unlikely that you would do so if you opposed the viewpoints. Would you thank somebody for "Taking the time to go on a killing spree at that school"? No, because it would be extremely weird to thank somebody for something that you disagree with. It makes perfect sense however to thank for something you do agree with. So people drew the natural conclusion. It happens. Cheers.

It is all part of the capitalist system buddy, without capitalism the world would not be nearly as well off.

Each race wants to be recognized for their contribution to society. It's about competing.
