(6,891 posts)since any people migrated to a place not already occupied by others. Conquest is not a behavior peculiar to white people. Also, the inhabitants were not removed as in the passive voice. The settlers drove them out themselves and intermarried with the rest. What any of that has to do with white privilege escapes me.
I am perfectly aware that a white power structure rules this country. It always has, and it has been very hard on POC. That needs to change. My objection is in the indefensible argument that by definition the term white privilege includes all whites. I hear that a lot. That kind of thinking is not only unsound and untrue but is also intellectually lazy and divisive. It does not serve to move this multi-racial and ethnic society a place where there is finally liberty and justice for all.
