Yes, white men are being oppressed.

98. Absolutely right

I don't see what is so painful about acknowledging privilege. As a white woman with a disability I am aware of the fact that people are more inclined to listen to me than they are my black peers.

I noticed that it exists among homeless people in my community, as well. I see them and talk to them, and I know that they share with each other. The white men- anyway. The black homeless people are on their own. If they are seen together they are perceived as more threatening than a group of white guys who get together and share what they been able to gather with each other.

To deny that this is part of a larger cultural reality is naive at best. No one wants an admission of guilt. It's a matter of looking at reality and caring enough to challenge it, even if it means challenging the legitimacy of one's own advantages.
