And I wonder what white privilege is and how it fits in with the definition of what privileges are.
Red herring spotted.
You can ignore that if you think it's irrelevant, the latter part of the post shows I don't even think it's totally relevant.
I expressed why in detail.
I don't even really understand the term white privilege since the definition of privilege is a special right, advantage or immunity granted only to one specific person or group.
I don't know what specific right, immunity or advantage white people have as a group, globally, in America or in the UK.
There's poor white people so we don't have the special right, advantage or immunity against poverty, there's white people in prison so we don't have get out of jail free cards as an entire group. Maybe there's rich celebrity white people who avoid prison, there's probably rich Arabs or Mexicans who avoid prison in some part of the world purely based on their money.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
