You're not going to convenience a white southern who enlisted in the military out of high school on the myth of white privilege.

*the fact of white privilege

Opinion.

Sticking your head in the sand because you don't want to see the truth doesn't make it go away.

Just because you live in the echo chamber known as SF, based on pushing identity and race into everything, doesn't make it true.

Your privilege is evident in your response here.

As a white person, you have the luxury of not thinking about race. That's one of your privileges.

If you're a person of color, it's impossible to not think about race all of the time.

Also, it's evident that you're not being a genuine conversational partner here: you clearly didn't even read the first sentence of the post I linked earlier. You keep believing that white privilege = someone comes to your door to give you money.

Most people don't think about race, particularly those outside of the coastal cities, excluding the south. There are far more pressing issues than to think about race at every turn or any turn for that matter. If you believe people consume their time thinking about race you are naive.

Let's pretend for a second white privilege exists, why would I as white male, give-up something that actually benefits me in this world? Are you going to purposefully make life harder for yourself?
