Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[paulpablo]

What I'm saying is that there's a term called white privilege while not all white people have these privileges that white privilege is supposed to entail so I'm questioning to what extent it actually exists.

I'm also stating that I don't think it's a valid way to make a phrase to use a racial adjective then add the word privilege to the end of it to imply that the people of this race are inherently advantaged wherever they go, whatever they do.  The reason being people live individual lives and have inindividual experiences and some of these people no matter what race they are will be excluded from these so called white privileges.

Jeus christ Pablo, lol.  Yes, by default, a white person in the US has white privilege.  You're commenting about some white people not doing well....and that's not at all relevant to the discussion.  Even the whites who aren't doing well...have white privilege.

Labeling a whole race of people being privileged by default because of a statistical likelyhood of advantage is a bit of sweeping statement though.

When you consider the variables within that population relating to advantages of wealth, relationships with the police and so on.

So just to clarify, a white person beaten to death by police has white privilege? If so then what was the privilege?

Here's a theory of mine, privileged white Americans alleviate their own feelings of guilt relating to being privileged, agree that white privilege exists. 

 Working class white people (who often live elsewhere in the world) who often have bad relationships with the police, a lack of wealth, live in areas where they're the racial minority will be shouted down as being "defensive" or "racist." and will be mocked and ostracized if they dare to question the extent which this privilege exists in the way it's portrayed.
