That's not even close to what I said. The conversation going full circle means you have points, other people gave points, an agreement was not made so you gave the same points, the same rebuttals were made...still no agreement. Rinse wash repeat. We don't agree on the matter (though I think your views and mine are very very close on this subject) no amount of repeating the same arguments back and forth at each other over and over will change that. Stalemate. And so begins jokes because I got tired of watching the paint on my argument dry after I made it for the 3rd time.
Again, I reiterate that Paul didn't actually say that white privilege doesn't exist, quite the contrary in fact. However, the fact that he took that particular position meant that the ida of white privilege could be extended to other races, other religions, other creeds and other countries. Your argument is based solely on your opinion and you weren't able to talk further about the possibility of other races having special privileges. This was your downfall. Nothing against you Losty of course, it is just the way I read it.
