But that's the thing.  We are all privelaged when it comes to our skin color.  A white person may grow up in a life we wouldn't consider privelaged, like growing up in poverty, but they are privelaged in the sense that they are in a better position to overcome their adversities compared to a black person growing up in the exact same scenario.  That's the kind of stuff we need to be aware of.

We have to understand where that privilege came from. There was a time when White indentured servants and Black slaves saw that they were in the same boat and oppressed by the same PTB. They joined forces. Said PTB did not like this so they used the tried and true divide and conquer—reminding the whites that they are white and giving them privileges to make them feel superior to the Blacks who lacked the power to give them anything in exchange for their allegiance.

There is a natural affinity between Black and White people when they're left alone. But whenever the big boys fuck up the economy, they find it convenient to take the heat o off themselves by pointing to the illegal alien or the welfare queen as the source of the problem.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
