And I'm not blind to life in America.

But also ensconced in the concept of white privilege is ...

You wrote,

The 'something done' is to have been born swm.

You say privilege requires nothing therefore no guilt is assigned. Privilege by your standard ends at realization. What of the SWM who is aware of the privilege? He has realized what he's done and what he's perpetuated (by merely existing) and therefore in an attempt to end it must define it.

Ok, so how do we define it? Well, it's called white privilege.

All I'm really seeing there as a defining characteristic is race.

So what's the OP asking? Is the term racially divisive? How can't it be?

And what of our protagonist? He's long gone and millions of us have followed learning from him the terrible truth. And so we are the guilty. The only guilty people who also bare no responsibility.


That can't be right.
