Quote:
white privilege....it implies that the problem is totally one of race, in a society where systemic racism is almost nonexistent.
Black men make up 6% percent of the U.S. population, but account for 40% of the unarmed men shot to death by police.
Blacks make up 13.2% of the U.S. population, but 40% of America's prison population.
Whites are more likely to use illicit drugs, but Blacks are three times more likely to go to prison for it.
White per capita income is $31,313; for Blacks, it is $18,406.
Black unemployment and poverty rates are consistently more than twice that of Whites.
This isn't some snowflake Liberal bleeding-heart opinion; it's well-documented objective reality.
And yeah; when you are comfortably part of the safety of the privileged 77.1% majority and you preface an argument with "I'm not racist, but..."; yeah; you are.
Nothing screams "white privilege" quite like a white male asserting his authority to define the parameters of what is and is not racist.
