Watching professional sports does wonders to assuage the perceived sting of white privilege.

Well the white man creates every technology. Black people create none of them. Misses and rockets are just an example of technological abilities. How has Africa contributed to the world? They aren't capable of developing civilizations, much less technologoes good or bad. Every other race has managed to contribute to the global economy and the world.

white privilege is simply getting the benefit of the doubt because of what you look like.
Well the black man would likely not be carrying the gun legally, be in a gang, more likely to use the gun in a violent crime, and have his pants around his ankles while walking around past midnight. There's your answer.

Also, what would happen to an Asian, Indian, or Latino?!? You do realize there are more than two races in the world right?? Would the same thing happen to a black man in another country?!

Not sure if you're actually being serious. In case you are:

Let me clarify. Modern technology. I also said that every other race contributes in some way. Like the Japanese have contributed. I meant it in a semi literal sense. And years ago the Egyptians and Europeans likely developed the same technologies cocurrently. They aren't mutually exclusive.

So, as a White man, what great accomplishments have you made to the world? How many patents? How many scientific discoveries?

I have a friend who is Indian and married to a black man. Their son looks more black than Indian. He got a full athletic scholarship to some hoity boarding school in CT, and then a very generous scholarship to college. those who might say that's not fair, he won't have any school debt, also don't have to to deal with their son being pulled over at least once a week for being black in a whiter than white wealthy area.
