There are 5 million poor white kids in this country. Let's explain white privilege to their parents.

66. there's simply no way to know that

That my life would be worse if I was black.

For one thing because life is NOT worse for rich, or middle class, blacks than it is for poor whites.

But even getting rid of the rich-poor divide.

Let me look at my co-worker. We were both part time janitors.

He has girlfriends. I don't.
He has kids. I don't.
He slacked off at work and left early. I didn't.
He got promoted into the job I wanted. (Okay, I got the job above him.)
He got other jobs. I didn't (couldn't).

His life does not look any worse than mine, and in many ways it looks much better.

Then again, he is not just black. He's also absurdly good looking.

And I'm not.

And probably I am leaving some things out.

I have a home that's paid for. He doesn't. (Then again, for many years, from 2004-2009 I had no car (and it wasn't breaking my heart))
I have $50,000 in IRA accounts and another $50,000 in savings. And he doesn't. (But some of that comes from the miserly way I live, not just the fact that he has kids to pay for and I don't (I probably would have stopped at two kids also, instead of having four))

But my point goes back to rich/poor. There are many poor whites and many not-poor not-whites, and yet you want to point to the poor whites and tell them about their privileges. Privileges which they do NOT have compared to the not-poor.

White privilege is like a penny and green privilege is a hundred dollar bill. Don't pinch pennies when you are shredding hundred dollar bills. Or don't put a microscope on white privilege and gloss right over income privilege.
