Or perhaps there wasn't enough interest generated within minorities? One never knows and this thread just jumps to conclusions and was only created to fan flames.

More baseless axe grinding
And accusing the SPLC of being racists for money is conspiracy bunkum

He just wants a slander an organization that has exposed countless conservative groups as hate movements(that's apparently race baiting now) . And actual has helped minorities against said groups .Pure politically motivated hatchet job . (oh and does anyone really buy the story that he does not know who author is . I sure don't )

So, alpha, you agree that white privilege is a thing, right?

It's part of the Rights new game of calling the left the Real racists
Whether it's dorky D'Souza trying to rewrite history to make the Nazi's leftist despite Fascistic literature that socialists and communists are essentially satan
Denial of the big switch
Downplaying America's racist history
Confederacy apologetics
Slavery revisionism
Colonialism revisionism
All the same game

I agree that whites have advantages in certain countries, and I support some affirmative action efforts. I don't agree with the term "privilege" though.

Almost as if the author was arguing that since even those who are in the business of addressing racism exhibit a marker of racism themselves, we might just as well all embrace our racism.

Oh yeah forgot normalizing racism on my list above . Remember when Rush Limbaugh tried claiming that the massacre of the Native Americans was justified because he claimed science claims that racism is natural .

Example of white privilege:
Not having to worry about getting arrested at Startbucks for not ordering your coffee fast enough.
Boy, it’s good to be white, innit? 😏
Nay_Sayer: “Nothing is impossible if you dream big enough, or in this case, nothing is impossible if you use a barrel of KY Jelly and a miniature horse.”

Or asking for the number to corporate because you don't see why you should be charged for plastic-ware. That'll get you jacked up quick if you're not white in some places.
