Why do people deny white privilege?

Everyone with a brain admits that there are certain privileges based on gender, disability status, class and the country you were born into; but when it comes to certain privileges that may be based on race...everyone FREAKS OUT!

    White privilege is just an excuse for black failure.

    People like you tell me I have white privilege but yet any time I have ever tried to invoke this privilege I have been denied.

    we are waiting for you to tell us exactly what this privilege is?

    white privilege most certainly exists...

    ....just like "handsome guy" and "pretty girl" privilege...

    ...and "tall privilege".... and "fit privilege".... and "accountant with glasses privilege"...

    ...as your question implies, humans....being visual creatures.... naturally assign all kinds of assumptions based on immediate appearance...

    ...to not only pin one of these as being worse than the rest because it is based on ethnicity...but to also try to assign blame on that ethnicity for it.... is actually the height of race-based bigotry....

    What about affirmative action?  It cancels out white privilege.

    White privilege is an Anti White scam. If Whites earn more than Blacks it's White privilege. Jews earn more than triple Whites but that's not Jew privilege and they're poor little victims cause Hollowcost.
