I have heard that, but this article had nothing to with race privilege. It had to do with when people tell me I'm "privileged" when they don't know my life.

I think "privilege" is a terrible term even if it was racial privilege. It's terrible because it shifts the focus from black people to white people, black disprivilege being what we need to address. Besides, we're talking about basic human rights here, human dignity, these things aren't "privileges" they're actually rights and viewing them as such flips the direction we should go in.

It also euphamizes real suffering. But it's hard to say Black torture, or Black theft, because it's negative, so we've invented "white privilge" because even Black racial injustice is something that white people are going to coopt and appropriate and make it all about them.
