Aaargh. Wading into it: I'm grateful for my "white privilege". I wish everyone had it.

67. Has racism ended because we have a Black President?

Does that negate racism for the remainder of Black Americans? If one Black person is successful in life....does that mean that the racism the others experience is false? No....you understand THAT concept.

Now that also means that if some White males do not succeed in life....even though they have White male skin.....that doesn't mean it negates the experiences of sexism against females...nor does it negate the racism that Blacks experience....guess what that means? White male privilege STILL exists...even if a number of White males are in poverty too!

It is every simple....

You are a male and not likely to make 25% less than females doing the same jobs.....if you are White you are also not likely to be in poverty....13% of those in poverty are White....35% are Black and 33% Hispanic...you are also not likely to earn 29% less in salary vs Black men because of your skin color....

Therefore White Male Privilege exists....

anecdotal experiences of individuals do not change that....
