"Privilege" in this context does not mean economic privilege, but social privilege; not "rules", but practice. Such as:
White men don't have to worry about being stopped by cops while driving for less-than-minor violations ("your taillight is out").
White men don't have to worry about being shot by cops if they get pulled over while driving.
White boys' mothers don't have to instruct them to be submissive to cops, or to allow cops to abuse them physically without protest.
White men don't get shot by cops for holding a cell phone in one hand.
White men don't have to worry about being overly scrutinized if they enter a convenience store while wearing a hoodie and sunglasses.
White men don't have to wonder if their hair or skin color is the reason they didn't get a job.
No one's asking you to do anything about it; just asking that you be aware of it.
All nonsense right from the beginning .
Cops pull over plenty of whites for burned out headlights/taillights

Everything you said is incorrect. That you are wrong on every single point is remarkable.
More whites are shot by police than blacks.
Of course whites are taught to comply with law enforcement.
Again more white people get shot by police than blacks. You're repeating an incorrect point you already made.
Yes whites are scrutinized when they enter a convenience store while wearing a hoodie and sunglasses which is rare.
Yes whites wonder if Affirmative Action stole their job and gave it to someone less qualified.
And to the point of your last statement. You're not aware of much if one judges you by your post.
How about focusing on the cause of why blacks and hispanics commit most of the crime as well as why whites commit crime? But then you'd have to deal with single parenthood and the false cries of racism would be exposed. We can't have that can we?

These are all just myths .
I'm actually surprised at how many people out there think that "cops don't mess with white people"
When I was a teenager I had to lay face down on the pavement while the cops took the insides out of the seats of my car, taking the entire interior apart, because they were certain a 16 year old white kid was smuggling drugs.
I'll grant that black people have it worse, but it is a complete myth that "this doesn't happen to white people"
Would JayZ be interested in having a national conversation on why so much crime is committed in the black community including murder ? Why so many kids are born out of wedlock ?
These are realities versus the feel good fantasy of white privilege .
Although I’m sure he would blame the problems of the black community on whites .

Are you genuinely this ignorant or are you just being dishonest?

a LOT of people believe the same things she does. i don't really know why
maybe it is a regional thing. Maybe there are parts of the country where 99% of people are white and also the cops are just nicer? idk. Definitely not where I'm from, though, I can say that.

Not to mention I've been pulled by black cops multiple times for things like expired tags, or taillight being out.

Same... was stopped at a gas station with my friends. They took us out, ripped the car apart. Found nothing . Gave me a "warning"... it happens to everyone.
I’ve heard JayZ rap about “crackers “ he’s also made anti Semitic comments but gets a pass by the media .
Trump has never said the N word to my knowledge I’m sure we’d be hearing about it 24/7 like the Billy Bush thing from ages ago .
Why is JayZ talking about the N word if Trump never said it.
Why is he criticizing Trump when he hasn’t said anything negative about blacks and black unemployment is at all time lows ?
Sounds like he’s spreading fake news and the media is allowing him to do so .
