The fact that white privilege does indeed exist and gives us a head start in life, is as I've said before, proved by most of us knowing deep down that our lives would have generally been harder had we been born with black skin. That doesn't mean that all whites have taken advantage of this head start, or that a lot of those born black haven't gotten past the inherit disadvantage, but to deny it isn't there-is to ultimately prove its existence.
IMHO, there are a lot of white people who are scared of movements like BLM (and not the rioting, looting, violence from the small percentage of those using BLM for cover, which everyone should condemn, but is not at the core of or the goal of of BLM) because they are afraid of having a level playing field.
