Come on, guys. Jesus. NO ONE IS SAYING WHITE PEOPLE DON'T SUFFER. But if you grew up poor, black, Irish and Catholic, you would've suffered more than you did-- you would've automatically been a police suspect most of the time, you would've been harassed, you would've been a victim of a system that systematically prevented your forbears from engaging in the primary means of accruing capital in the US. That is privilege. What privilege IS NOT is "all white people have it dandy just because they're white."
