Privilege can be right or wrong or be earned or just be. Equality, given various contexts of oppression, can be a privilege.

So-called White Privilege is considered to be wrong or bad, not because of actual privileges, but because only whites have access to them. Because whites have created a system which gives them privileges denied to or at the expense of people of other colors.

The privilege accorded to the citizens of our republic, is not the elusive, probably unobtainable privilege of equality in this world of universal inequalities--except for only an equality before the law. It is, rather, the privilege of being free in this world of widespread oppression and having that freedom protected equally by the law.

"White Privilege" is, to me, mostly a misnomer. Many or most whites are not substantially privileged by being white. And many blacks access the supposed privilege by "acting white"--that is they do the things that whites do to actuate their so-called privilege. In that respect, actuating privilege is earning the privilege.

So long as we are free to earn our privileges, we should do well as a society. And if we concentrate on universal freedom rather than universal equality, we can achieve the privileges to our liking.

Apparently in your opinion all the foolish blacks need to do is “act white”, a while ago it was act like the good Asians.
Yea, structural racism doesn’t exist
