Yep, that's what I said. Your eyes aren't fooling you. White privilege is a mistaken term. That's because privilege is mistaken for wealth by whites who choose to deny that such privilege exists. Perhaps the term should be eliminated because there are poor whites who do not have what they consider privilege.
Yet the poorest, most uneducated and ignorant white person on the right has a feeling about being white that has them living with a zero sum belief whereby anything that provides equal opportunity for non whites is a loss for whites. White privilege doesn't accurately describe this mentality.
The more accurate description is white entitlement. Yep, you read it in here all the time. Whites who believe they are entitled to everything.
Have whites been granted privilege based on something other than murdering natives, enslaving Africans and natives and subsequently devaluing their lives with discriminatory systems and institutions being created to maintain this status?
White people have enjoyed the entitlements bestowed upon themselves by this nation for so long that they see it as something they deserve. Not simply a privilege but something that their forefathers handed down to them.

THE MYTH OF WHITE PRIVILEGE CLOUDS REALITY OF WHITE ENTITLEMENT
Let’s stop calling it white privilege and call it what it really is, white entitlement. I’ve grown tired of people going on and on about so-called white privilege. The dictionary definition of privilege states that it is “a right, immunity, or benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most.”Have whites been granted privilege based on something other than murdering natives, enslaving Africans and natives and subsequently devaluing their lives with discriminatory systems and institutions being created to maintain this status?
