So saying I don't get it after I've already discussed this topic and the ins and outs of majority privilege is pretty ignorant or just a false assumption or both.
Being white is being a non-minority that is almost always privileged. So white privilege is very real in this world.
I'm saying you don't get it because it still seems you deny white privilege which is patently real.
Deny to what extent?
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.
