I saw that--it definitely was a good segment. They obviously respect each other and each can hold his own against the other.

Stewart is a bigot, albeit you can classify this as "soft racism" for implying that blacks depend on whites for their well being.
Then you missed what he was saying...

Both their arguments made little sense. In the end they both agreed that everyone's struggles and experiences are different!

Bill's point is that declaring that "white privilege" exists has no constructive purpose.

It would seem that liberals are the ones who want to live in the past.

As a term, "White privilege" makes little to no sense. It incorrectly implies that all whites have some sort of privilege.

If Jon Stewart is trying to make the point that black people living in poor neighborhoods have a huge disadvantage and a steeper hill to climb ..... then he should invent some term for that.

Yep, Jon Stewart has a bunch of white privilege going on in his background; Jewish at that. Much of the entertainment industry enjoys that, especially TV and movies.

Jon Stewart is a blithering moron and an anti-white racist. There is no white privilege. Whites in America face discrimination in employment and college admissions. Whites are victimized by non-whites in violent crimes far more than the other way around. Black-on-white rape, for example, is many, many times more common than white-on-black. Despite being victims of widespread interracial violence and discrimination, whites are never allowed to advocate for their own self-interests the way other minorities do. The leftists often create false dichotomies between "rich whites" and minorities, leaving out the majority of whites who are not exceptionally well off.
