the dark folks. And it was done based simply on the color of their skin. No need for anybody to defend the evil that we did as a nation to people of color. We never did right the wrongs and so yes, those white are racially privileged in that they were the ones that the others were oppressed to benefit. Slavery did not benefit blacks very much in this nation. Manifest Destiny did not benefit Native Americans. Jim Crow did not benefit colored people or Jews. Redlining did not benefit anybody but Whites. Segregation only benefitted whites. Literacy tests did not benefit blacks. The entire system of this nation was designed to benefit whites, even today the way food stamps and other services are distributed benefit rurla areas more in many places, because rural areas are white areas. The presense of poverty among some segments of white people does not mean that white skin privilege does not exist. It does. Just like the presence of wealthy blacks does not mean black poverty is over.
