White privilege isn't his, it's -ours-...and yes, that's a blatantly obvious example of white privilege in a scenario that you actually took pains to find and identify because you believed there wouldn't be. The privilege of having the powers that be follow the fuck through, like they're supposed to - even if actual justice is not achieved... At least they wen't through the motions. Some privilege, eh? Now imagine how shitty it must be not to have -that- privilege, really, take a few seconds to consider it......then, if you like, continue to argue that it doesn't exist.
