Why do you think some people struggle to understand the concept of 'white privilege' and how would you explain it?
@9KCLXDQ3mos3MO
I don't believe that white privilege is a thing. White people have been enslaved just like other races have been. (Ottoman Slave Trade) I think that black privilege is more of a thing in this country today, look at how much they can say and do. Black people can say racist things about white people and get away with it, but whites can't do that with black people.

White people have been enslaved elsewhere in the world, but not in America. As for racism against white people, it has no real power compared to racism against black people. Systemic racism like redlining (companies like banks avoiding commerce with ethnically diverse neighborhoods because they are "risky investments") as well as outright violence (cop or civilian shootings) never or rarely target white people.
White privilege is being jealous black people can be racist while black people fear poverty and death.
