It's that statistical likelihood that you will live a more privileged life than the average person of color. You will not be targeted by systemic racism. You will hold a statistical majority in your representative governmental enclave. You will benefit from nepotism, cronyism. You are more likely to inherit money and come from a family that is capable of providing you with the bare necessities.

I agree with the idea of white privilege but see it as fundamentally being framed in the wrong way.

It's not white privilege that needs to be "fixed" it's the disadvantages of being a minority. The minorities should get the same privileges. It's not that the whites should have the privileges taken away. Opportunity to help oneself should be universal.

That being said it's a hard sell to anyone but lefties.

Pic related is the sentiment I run into more and more often.

As someone who grew up poorer than most of the black people around me I know that white privilege shouldn't be used as a blanket to judge white people you meet and know nothing about. On the other hand I know that the average white person has it far better than I did, statistically speaking, even though I'm mostly white.

Shit's dumb and a poor source of focus I think. It's the system of incentives, the pedagogy, and the economy that need to be restructured. Not the people inside of it.
