If you live in a first world country, particularly America, then we all have privileges. The benefits of being born in the 21st century are that you are not necessarily held down by the social class you are born in. You can start out as nothing and work your way into something regardless of race. We have millionaires and even billionaires of all different races and backgrounds. We had a black President not long ago. Is affirmative action not a privilege? So the people who invoke the myth of white privilege is really only pandering to gain sympathy. It's used as a way for people who have no balls to do what they want to do in life to blame shit on the system as if the system is keeping them there and acting as they don't have the freedom to make changes. And that kind of thinking is not race specific either. I think the idea of white privilege is completely reprehensible. And I'm not saying white people aren't born with certain advantages. Most people have advantages in some way or another and you should be thankful for those advantages and work to deserve them. But the idea that you can target an ethnic group with a collective crime regardless of the specific innocence or guilt of the constituent elements of that group, there is absolutely nothing that is more racist than that. If you really wanna know more about that sort of thing you should read abut the Kulaks in the Soviet Union in the 1920's. Because they were farmers who were the most productive people in agriculture in Russia and they were virtually all killed, raped, and robbed by the collectivists who insisted that because they showed signs of wealth that they were criminals. One of the consequences of the prosecution of the Kulaks was the death of 6 million Ukrainians from famine in the 1930s. The idea of collectively held guilt at the level of the individual as a legal or philosophical principle is dangerous. It's precisely the sort of danger that people who are really looking for trouble would push. Just a glance at 20th century history should tell anyone how horrible that is. The players have privileges too. Because they are athletes they get free stuff all the time. They dine well. And let's be honest, a lot of them aren't playing here for free now. And I'm not saying they shouldn't have those things because I believe they've earned them. Using a term like white privilege is too vague because it's not just whites who have advantages in American society. I often find that its used to shut down an argument meaning your opinion doesn't matter on this because you are white. Being white doesn't inhibit the ability to use your brain and have a valid opinion. I think that about covers it.
