White Privilege Generalization

Privilege is often about wealth, not race. People with money have more opportunities, better access to healthcare, education, housing, and so forth.

Some of the most privileged people of all races--wealthy and sometimes famous--are at the forefront of white privilege complaining.

Assuming someone is privileged based on skin color alone is a racist generalization.

There are people of all races that have access to opportunities denied to others. There are people of all races in completely opposite situations.

Being an American in and of itself is a privilege not afforded to billions of people in the world. Billions of people not in the United States live without proper shelter, no electricity, no running water, no access to healthcare, no access to dental care, no opportunities for education or decent employment. Billions live without clean water and without access to enough food.

The agenda to further divide Americans on race is furthered by white privilege narratives.

For the millions of white people inside of the United States that struggle economically, many with health issues and other serious problems, white privilege would be laughable if it were not so corrosive and divisive of a concept.

The more some on one political party push the white privileged narrative, alienating millions of whites that struggle daily and that are not privileged, the better it is for the opposing political party.
