They do have a narrative to push.... It was never about the truth.

What a twist: Sometimes, we have a news story where a non-White woman who will bring up how a White man benefits from White privilege. However, that White man might respond in a rational manner to that claim whereas the other person is not acting dumb. Here we have a Black woman who brought how up a Black man benefited White privilege. However, that Black man responds in a rational manner whereas the other person is acting dumb.

Also, saying that you benefit from White privilege by virtue of being a White man is arguably sexist. Yes, there are many White man that benefit from such but there are also many who don't. This pretty much applies to any socio-economic and socio-political group in this country. That is, it is situational when they do or do not benefit.

He said privilege is not necessarily determined by skin. He even mentions there could be socio-economic factors. This is true as race, religion, orientation, socio-economic factors, disabilities, political leanings, etc. all account for privilege. Situation A may be race-based privilege but Situation B might not be.

Here's the next question... who told the show prep personnel that he was white?

Answer... no one. He certainly did not tell them he was white. Total assumption on their part.

Another instance that supports this theory... that when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me.

I don't think anyone should have to tell the prep personnel anything if they are worth a damn.

"If you're successful, it's because of your WHITE PRIVILEGE! You're so racist you can't even see your WHITE PRIVILEGE! Disgusting!"

"I'm black."

"They gave me the wrong information, it's not my fault I'm a racist pos!"
