That's a false dichotomy; you can recognize that you're privileged without simultaneously feeling bad about it.

Except all rhetoric I see involving privilege is ultimately about me having to keep my mouth shut about real issues or concede benefit to another, all because I'm a white guy. In fact I didn't inherit wealth or any "privilege", but I'm meant to feel as though I did something wrong by virtue of my skin color. You may not say "feel bad" but the type to use that word sure are.
