The litmus test: in heart of hearts, no white person would volunteer to become an average black person (not a pro athlete, entertainer, etc.). You are going to dispute me on this?

I would because an average black person is a decent human being and treated like everyone else. I would do it for the benefits like free college and what not.
Probably because much of the work that was done to "make this a better place" was done by slaves who were treated worse than animals, and the lands that we took from Native Americans were actually lands that had been legislated by the federal government, and protected these people and gave them a portion of this country they deserved, and then they were stabbed in the back by the that same U.S. government.
The Supreme Court even ruled in the favor of the Cherokee's, and Andrew Jackson led them on a trail of death and misery towards their eventual enslavement.
The Sioux bargained for the Black Hills, only to have them stolen. Many tribes tried to work with the U.S. government, believing they had secured a peaceful treaty, only to be shot down en masse, men, women, and children.
White privilege has always existed, and still does today.
I suggest you move to Uganda or Somalia and see how people are treated there. Life isn't that bad here.
A liberal made up problem by white apologists looking for a solution.
White liberals trying to make themselves feel good by concocting non-existant problems to make other whites look bad while making themselves out to be saintly as well as heroes to people of color.
HRC, Pelosi, Reid, and a host of other white progressive liberals all fit the bill.

Yep, and they are also apparently self-hating whites on some kind of stupid guilt trip.
It is impossible to take that fool seriously. He cannot/will not keep his eyes open while speaking and looks like he is on a self destructive path to a very early demise. I do not doubt that he was a huge racist and it is good that he has seen the light and decided to change his ways but he comes across as very ignorant. Another thirsty youtube idiot seeking 15 minutes.
What if whites did "admit to white privilege"? What would that prove? How would such an admission improve the racial conditions that exist in America today? While it might help on the margin, I've never been able to figure out why that's so much more important to "anti-racism" types than many other racial topics.
I admitted in on page 2. I assume I've pulled at least a dozen non white people out of whatever hell hole they are in but I can't be sure. The rules are somewhat sketchy.
Def of the "insulting" term "redneck": a white farmer who spends the day in the field GROWING FOOD for the lazy criminal element found mostly in the cities. Wanna know what THOSE folks are called? Ask Chris Rock. He calls them out.
