The comment about painting with a broad paint brush was clever.
No one race or ethnic is all privileged, individuals are privileged and yes a white person is more apt being white in alot of cases gives a heads up over other races. Are ALL blacks therefore not privileged and ALL whites privileged and ALL officers bad. No, there are bad people who are white, black, Hispanic and teachers, police officers.
Some people make these broad statements so therefore it is true. In Great Britain it took centuries to dilute the upper class privileged from poor. No matter how hard one tried, your job kept you from being an upper privileged class due to snobs.
We are going through it now. There is a lot white people can't say but blacks can. I hate the prejudice that is on both sides BUT I like the original post, it is a breathe of fresh air. The writer may have worked for minimum wage for all you know and could not afford to send kids to college as no grants or special concessions made for his family. He has no complaints
