It's boilerplate Marxist indoctrination... the creation of oppressed and the oppressor.
Dude, it's not.
How can you say that African Americans haven't been oppressed in this country? How? And, actually, talking about white privilege doesn't make anyone an oppressor. It just gives a framework on how to overcome it. Now, if the idea was to create an oppressed & oppressor, I think the last way to accomplish that is to make available ways to overcome it.
So demonizing White's as privileged to impressionable children by using them as the MESSENGER is not something to complain about? What they are doing is creating animosity, self loathing, and guilt which is already prevalent in Progressives.
I am not demonized by acknowledging a historical and broad structure of racism. It's all around us, and it has more impact on some than others. It's not self-loathing for me to say that there are white supremacy groups in the US. It's not creating animosity for me to say it needs to be discussed. I am not guilty about what happened before me. But I still see racism. And white privelege still exists, and we are all big enough to talk about it in order to eradicate it. Well, some aren't, obviously, and need to be coddled and treated with gentle care. It's sad to have so many too sensitive to talk about race relations without getting all frothed up & bothered.

It doesn't exist. It is a made up social construct.

No, sweetie, it's not. It may not affect you personally, but it does exist. It's like any other truth--it doesn't matter if you agree, it's still true. It's like the ocean--it's still there, even if you've never been to it. You can deny it all you like, but all of us who KNOW the ocean exists will just look at you and wonder what's missing. And to say, "Nope, it's all made up!" isn't going to work.

No, it's completely made up. If you want an apt analogy using the ocean, it's like the flat earth theory. People believed you could sail to the edge of the world and just fall off. Completely made up, but a lot of people at one time believed it. Same with the social construct "white privilege." It's really a shame schools waste time peddling such nonsense.

Such as "check your privilege"?
Again, "white privilege" is just an insidious rebranding of the same old tired divide and conquer strategy, accomplished by dividing people into the oppressed and the oppressor.
The only difference, the postmodern cultural Marxists are dividing along race instead of economic class.

Well they divide along economic class also, as well as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and any other difference they want to exploit. Saul Alinsky learned well from Marx.

One saving grace, I'm seeing more and more black people speak of how annoying and condescending these SJWs are... there's hope on the horizon!
