(10,745 posts)And my opinion certainly IS backed up by facts, and fact-based objective observation. And if you've seen all my posts, you and I may intersect in places in terms of where we stand. But objectively, as noble as the intentions may have been behind its creation, "white privilege" has failed, by and large, as a teaching tool, not only because of its inherent contradictions, but also because of its abuse by some individuals as well; in fact, liberals as a whole have been hurt by this mainly because it's given reactionary conservatives ammo for their daily bullshitting routines.....kinda like how doomsayers have harmed the climate repair movement with their screams about the imminent collapse of civilization, or how the IPCC is supposedly not being honest about the full current, and possible future severity of climate change, etc.
It's not hard to figure out if people are willing to take their blinders off for a while and look around. I had to do the same thing once, quite a while back before I even joined this site.
