Well, the title of the thread is not some rhetorical question. I would really like to know what white privilege is. I have been in discussions with people who give examples of white privilege which are just simply acts of racism. So why not call them racism? I have gotten other examples, things like; hair care products aimed at a white person's hair texture are more common than the same product suited for a black person's hair texture. I have said that if that is an example of white privilege, than it is kind of "average-size" privilege that clothes and furniture are more often suited for average-sized frames than they are tall or overweight frames? Is there a right-hander privilege given that the world has been better suited for right-handedness? Anyway, I have become curious about white privilege and what it is all about.
It's a liberal subterfuge to explain different median outcomes of white European vs selected other racial and ethnic Democrat voting groups. Liberals could more accurately call it White, Jewish and E. Asian privilege. Or even more accurately, call it qualification/intelligence/behavior "privilege".
White privilege is a phrase made up by certain minority's in a vain attempt to justify there complete failure in society.
IE:They needed a boogy man to blame for there own failure in life.

White privilege is if you have a good job or went to a good school, no one assumes it's due to anything but your hardwork. No one thinks you got where you are bc you played lacrosse or bc your dad pulled some strings to get you in or you were party of some fraternity.
White privilege is not just something about the Caucasian race, but just lighter color in general.
Lighter Blacks have a higher status in Africa than the darkest ones.
Lighter East-Indians same.
Lighter Arabs as well.
If all Caucasian people were to disappear tomorrow, White Privilege would remain among the colored people, and if only one race was left, there would be White Privilege amongst them. People just like lighter skin in general.
As a society, US is as fair/just as can be. The ones who demonize Caucasian people are bigots and racists themselves.
It is just not Jesus who is White in portraits, even the Arabs believe Muhammad to be the most White Arab of his time.

Okay. I'm going to assume that you really want to know what white privilege is, and further assume that you are not familiar with searching for online resources.
But if you don't want to read all that stuff, here are some examples.
>> If an adult can go into a store and wander around looking at stuff and not be watched/followed by a store employee, that adult might just be white.
>> If a person buys a new house in a nice neighborhood and just assumes that he will be accepted and treated pleasantly by his neighbors, that person might just be white.
>> If a person is pulled over by a cop and doesn't immediately break into a sweat, that person might just be white.
I cant comment on " white privliage" I would you use the term... " western ways" the western way of life is entitlements, they feel like everything belongs to them. feel like they can do anything above and beyond the law.. about taking anything they want... and also "rigging" the system.

White privilege is not having to deal with prejudice and not having people hate you or not trust you or throw out your job application because the color of your skin.
