You might want to do a little research on that. Sunburns are not a white privilege, we get them too.
I'm talking about the full white privilege, the red lobster/albino cookout special. To get the same experience you guys have to go into a reactor room for 15 minutes. I want Fukushima Protection that lasts.....how much ?
I'm white and don't think I have ever experienced any privilege of any kind. We were Air Force brats, went to public schools with any other kids, ate the same food the other kids did and didn't get a new car every few years. We had old junkers that ran until they died. My dad didn't run out and buy a color TV when everyone else did and we didn't go to McDonald's or other fast food joints, never had pizza or Chinese food delivered and I had to work my a## off around the house because my dad wanted me to.
When I got out of HS I had to bust my A$$ working like everyone else because that was the way it was done.
To this day I have to wonder where being white was such a privilege. Once I realized it was in the mind of those who coined the term it wasn't so hard to fathom. It is a misconceived notion. Rich white progressives have always tried to stir up trouble using these tactics.
Being alive and healthy is a privilege. Ask someone in poor health.
Well, see, here's the thing with white privilege. There are both black and white people all across every spectrum. The richest woman in the country and the president of the country are black and there are homeless destitute whites in the streets. Because of this, no matter what your circumstances are, there is always someone else who is better off than you are and someone else who is worse off than you are. So the white privilege claim can always be made and never be disproven. They can always say if only Oprah was white, she'd be even richer. They can always say no matter how hard you work, if you were black you'd have to work harder.

That's the point of the sale; there is no white privilege. Privilege comes from money and familial status, not race.

WAIT!!!!!!! Oprah is richer than me. BOUNCING OFF WALLS, BOUNCING OFF WALLS.
And I don't benefit from affirmative action. That's black privilege.

I had a black friend that went to tanning booths to help with a skin condition.
I thought of that when Obama put a tax on tanning......I think he was just aiming the tax at whites.
