If I was British I might reach the same conclusions. After all, the upper crust there tends to be white, so the word privilege is unnecessary. But here in America it’s quite different. In the land founded on a equality for all, rather than repression by a King or Queen and their lords, blacks had not be able to access their equality guaranteed in the constitution (nothing was mentioned about race until 1854 with the 14th amendment, less then a decade before slavery was abolished). Even worse, the blacks were called slaves, had a title attached to them like proposers, forced into breeding practices like cattle to reproduce and paid nothing. That certainly was not an equal opportunity. The hundreds of years slavery existed were horrific, a longer period from abolition to the present, enough time to create a master/slave mentality that southern whites are loath to give up. Hence the term white privileged. History has not only to be lived to be known, but studied as well. What’s sauce for the British goose is not sauce for the American deep-fried gander.
