It's getting weird here....white privilege....rape threads a month ago....it seems a bit much

100. That is what I find so demonstrably frustrating about

thus whole "debate." There is a declaration thay white privilege is a real thing, and conversely, a number of people who argue over its existence, meaning, relevance, etc. And there is little doubt that one side in the debate contends many on DU refuse to accept their privilege. What you are saying, then, is I must determine if I have conceded the objective existence of WP, and (apparently) you nor anyone else is the judge of that. (BTW, I asked the same question of several others, here.)

So, I guess there remains little to be said on this subject. Makes me wonder what all the fuss was about to begin with. But maybe, just maybe, in a future conversation about race, equity, (in)justice, etc., I will probably expect someone to check (or require I do so) my WP, thereby negating or deminishing my contribution as a matter of form. In lieu of a better explanation to the contrary, this is the dynamic I see.
