Is white privilege real? To what extent?

[paulpablo]

That's not what I'm asking.

Why not, why -aren;t you asking that? Because that -does- speak to white privilege.  

I'm saying here's a homeless schizophrenic white person who was bullied and beaten to death by police.

You said that some would say he squandered his white privilege and that he still had white privilege.

In his case, I think it's understandable, he didn't have the clarity of mind required to press whatever advantage he might have.  Schizos shout about demons, not their lawyers and the cops superior officer.

I'm asking what his white privilege was as a homeless schizophrenic man beaten to death by police.  Not, what is his white privilege in a hypothetical situation that he isn't homeless and schizophrenic and beaten to death by police.

Simply viewing his situation as it was, what can you point at that was his privilege or advantage over other races?

I don;t know the man..but I can see that the officers are being charged and this is, ofc, escapes your notice...and yet, in the case of the many blacks beaten to death for lesser or no reason.....this is not uniformly the case.  He's still enjoying privilege, from beyond the grave.

How can he "enjoy" privilege while dead?

The officers weren't charged they were acquitted.
