If you don't believe there is white privilege in this country...

103. At most the study you cite suggests a racial bias in the verbal part of the test.

My broader point is that when you look at the standard examples of white privilege, it is hard to deny that there are examples of black privilege too. An example of white privilege in the famous knapsack essay is this: "When I am told about our national heritage or about 'civilization,' I am shown that people of my color made it what it is." True enough, but then isn't it also true that the following is an example of black privilege? "When I am told who has been responsible for most oppression in my country, I am shown that people of another color have been the oppressors."

Obviously it is blacks and not whites who are the victims of enormous racial inequality and racial injustice in America. But why not talk about that rather than white privilege?
