Therefore, there is no such thing as white privilege. Only in the mind of a Socialist who wants everyone and everything equal. The only equality we have is that we agree on the Gospel message.
Riiiggggght.

No such thing. You've never benefitted from being white?

I know I have.

And no, I don't feel ashamed of it. It just is what it is. I didn't make the rules in our society. But when I see something wrong, I'm not put out or beholden to some ideology that prevents me from acknowledging it and helping to work to make it right if I can. That's all.

You honestly can't see where generations of slavery, oppression, racism, and denial of even the right to vote could impact a person's opportunities?

I've been effected by privilege from both directions. lol

I'm Scott-Irish. When my ancestors came here, they were routinely denied employment and opportunities (remember NINA?). All we could do is join the military to find opportunity. And I live with the toll that has taken in at least three generations every day.

It's not about white privilege. It's just about privilege. Be it racial or economic, privilege exists.
