I certainly applaud your analysis, your intent to counter mainstream rhetoric, and you use of statistics to support your viewpoint. I can add that the one thing I don’t really understand is how the term white privilege is used in Britain because I’m not British. In the United States, with its long history of slavery and deliberate oppression of blacks, the term I think means something much different. Britain did not use ownership of blacks in its own country in order to build it. The basic labor used to plow the land and build homes and cities in the U.S. was in part slave labor of blacks, who work for free as titled property of whites. They were worth more than the land for some plantations owners like Thomas Jefferson and represented wealth as like land they had a measurable asset value and market worth. There is a deliberate effort to maintain the distinction between whites and blacks by the U.S. government, and is another layer besides just class. In the U.S., in about 15 years or so, between 1985 and 2000, the government under both republican and democratic administirations deliberately set out to criminalize drugs, in specific crack cocaine. The passed laws making it easy to swept up massive numbers of blacks and easily prosecute and put them in prisons due to plea-bargains that inner-city people did not understand fully. 99 percent of blacks were thus thrown in prison through plea bargins from lack of affordable lawyers. The prison population swelled from 300,000 to 2,000,000 people in that short timeframe. Blacks were vastly disproportionately represented in those arrests. Latinos followed. While whites out number blacks and Latinos in jail, at one point about half of prisoners were white even through they compromised about 75 percent of the population during that time frame. Prison became a big business, unlike in Britain’s where it is viewed not as a potential privitzied industry that can be pried away from government control and given to corporate control. That is exactly what happened. White privilege to me as an American, therefore, is a deliberate strategy in the political and economic arenas, and Trump was only the most modern and obvious representation of a stubborn strain of identity politics based on fear-mongering by race (the blacks, the browns, the Chinese, etc.) that has always existed in the U. S. U. S. elections have usually pivoted around one party trying to maintain its white identity. I would say history plays a big role in the emotional content and structure of the mindset of Americans and that the common language we share can sometimes be deceptive with key phrases representing two different sets of historically constructed beliefs and visceral reaction. You have certainly given me food for thought, thank you.
