[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 590699, member: 1640"] It is remarkable how civil your tone is given the degree to which we are talking past each other. I tried to explain that white privilege is not being used as a universal descriptor nor are we saying that white people are the only ones guilty of bad behavior. We are simply talking about the particular and unique history of American use of African slaves and the systemic damage that had done. What I want to share now is not a criticism of you or your arguments but rather an attempt at a teachable moment. When blacks hear whites counter the white privilege discussion with comments about other races, other countries or other times in history it often sounds to them like an inability to hear someone's truth who is not white. The reason for this is our own unique American history. From Jim Crow laws, to separate but equal to voter suppression, white people have often had "reasonable arguments" for maintaining a white privilege they didn't recognize and claimed they didn't have. I am boarding a plane. More later. [/QUOTE]
