Wow, that disclaimer is really hard to find. (what with all the adverts popping up and flying around)
White privilege:
Your father had a strong work ethic and so it is assumed that you do too.
It is assumed that you have strong judeo-christian values (such as that aforementioned hard working)
It is assumed that you had decent schooling, because your forefathers paid for the schools with their sweat and tears.
And that is what white privilege is.
Kinda like women are assumed to be good mothers.
It doesn't take too long before these assumptions get questioned.
It means if you're "white" your grandparents weren't denied home-loans simply because of their skin color.
It means if you're "white" your grandparents and parents weren't the target of laws specifically designed to destroy your core family unit.
None of this is the average "white" person's "fault", they are not individually "responsible" for the "privilege" they've unwittingly enjoyed.
However, there should be some acknowledgement that many of their neighbors did not enjoy the same unspoken, invisible "privilege".
