That is earned privilege.

If you want privilege, it's something you need to earn.
Fact-free white supremacy. Thanks for tipping your hand.

Not fact-free, but factual.

I suggest you get an education.

A real one, I mean.

If this kind of racist filth was counterproductive during the last election, then what makes these people think it will be any more helpful to them going forward?

I just did a quick google search, it looks like the definition of privilege is

a special right, advantage, or immunity granted or available only to a particular person or group of people.

If this is the definition, then I don't think white male privilege really exists. But this is just my opinion.

I do believe blonde children get noticed more, but that is not really "privilege". White European look seems to be the global beauty standard, not sure if that is a privilege. Maybe not.

You believe in white privilege but you are coming from the lens of an upper class upbrining. Poor white people do not experience this privilege, thus our election results.

This explains baseline white privilege without going too deep in the weeds.

nah. Pretty much all my closest friends are poor white males. My brother is a former Marine, remember (maybe you don't) I've never met a rich Marine. My bro is successful now because of family help, education, and he is a hard working man. His fellow Marines? Many went back to their southern small town and they couldn't even find jobs. They are also hard working. They are not as lucky. That is why I voted Trump because I've seen how my friends struggled.

It is not I believe in white privilege, I am just saying many of my white friends and my family members admit they perhaps are treated better because they are white. That is all.

I don't believe white privilege really exist when it comes to employment. I understand where you are coming from.

Videos on MTV should be the last thing people get upset about. They only influence the already influenced. And most of them get over it when they grow up.

The last time MTV had a shred of relevance in the real world was when Riki Rachtman was still hosting Headbangers Ball.... and that was quite a while ago. Many snowflakes had not even been born yet.
