It is important to understand that the privilege enjoyed by white people today was not something that was simply granted to them at birth. The historical reality is that white people had to FIGHT to achieve our privilege.

White people fought against the ruling class in England, they fought against the foreign invaders from the east, they fought against the natives of this land, and they fought the lawless, barbaric tribes of indigenous Australia. This was no easy task.

In order to get where we are today, our ancestors constructed incredible ships of war and had to organize well trained, military battalions that successfully conquered other people in war.

Our people are privileged because we EARNED it.

I didn’t earn what my daddy did. Earn tends to be individual doesn’t it. And isn’t this just admitting that one used force to acquire something. It does nothing to defend the status quo or violence of the past beyond might is right or why we should care for such a view. It is not a imperative beyond pointing to a status quo and day I like it this way.

@Agent Steel is extremely proud of his slave owning, child raping, genocide committing heritage.

If there were a place today he could go to to rape little native children like his ancestors did, he would be on that boat so fast, he wouldn't even have time to put on his pants.

Are you ashamed oy your existence? Descendants of Genghis Khan don't seem to be ashamed. Descendants of the Zulu's don't seem to be ashamed. Descendants of the Prophet Mohammad show no shame, far from it they're very proud to be descended from a genocidal peodophile terrorist.

We can't accuratly measure a human being's privilege. We can't even measure it to an order of magnitude, but we can perhaps calculate it to an order of magnitude of an order of magnitude. Let's simplify and say our original homo sapien couple Adam and Eve lived back in three hundred thousand BC. Without resource limits, without over population pre modern humans can easily average 4 children surviving to adulthood. This means the population of 2 can easily double in 30 years, quadruple in 60 years, multiply by 8 in 90 years and can easily multiply by 10 in a century. That means the population can increase by a factor of 100 in 200 years, 1000 in 300 years, etc. Without resource restraints Adam and Eve could easily out produce the whole current world population in a millennia.

This means that without resource limits, over the last 302 thousand years we would have a world human population of well over 2 x 10 to the power 3020. Given that the world population is only about 8 billion, that means that less than 1 person in 10 to the power three thousand of all the possible people gets to exist. Every human on the planet today has mind boggling privilege. Every human on the planet today is the winner of a most incredible lottery. Imagine a lottery where every particle in the known universe had a lottery ticket and just one was selected. That lucky fundamental particle's luck would still pale in comparison to the luck you have to be born a human, the luck you have for your biological lineage to have survived.

Every human on the planet today is the winner of three hundred thousand years of the most viscous competition. All of the humans of today only got to exist because of untold murders, rapes, assaults, thefts, lies and genocides. There will be numerous rapes in my biological lineage over the last three hundred thousand years. Am I ashamed of them? Do I wish those male ancestors hadn't raped my female ancestors? Hell no! I'm very glad they did. I'm very glad my ancestors did everything they could to accumulate the privilege, over the millenia to give me this incredible chance of incarnation.

As I once said many, many years ago: @Rich has seen the truth, and it has driven him insane.

White privilege seems like a strange term to use here. Were the Irish privileged to be raped, slaughtered and starved by the English? To this day they remain a divided people who's brothers and sisters in the north are treated like 2nd class citizens by the protestants.
