haha so weird seeing news guys talking shit though. Most English news people are not allowed to have opinions on stuff. Other than the odd calling rebels freedom fighters and vice versa. Its like Fox News has a WWE style writing where you have one guy being a dick because that's his character.

Playing since Pong.
I believe white privilege exists. I also believe it is only one component of the bigger issue - an issue fueled by money, power, culture, and peppered with stupid, myopic statements from all sides.
Also, jazz is pretty great. Even white people play it.
That is all I care to partake of this "big boy discussion".

Does white privilege exist? Absolutely. Just like how male privilege exists, or privileges that are afforded to you because you make a lot of money, play on a football team, hold a political office, based on who your parents were or which religion you practice, etc. The minute you afford special rights or advantages to one group of people over another, you create a privilege.
White privilege is the buzzword now because some white people want to deny that racism or privileges still exist, as if the deep-seeded issues in this country have magically disappeared somehow, or because they haven't directly benefited because of the color of their skin even though their ancestors may have or don't realize that they don't have to worry about police killing them if they get pulled over or can walk into a store without having people assume that they are going to rob it, or being denied a job interview based on who they are, or say dumb shit like white privilege doesn't exist in China when every area has their own socioeconomic issues to deal with.
Maybe the world would be a better place if there were less CaptainHooks in the world.
