jbear...rhetoric wasn't an insult. i could have said argument, logic, statement, or any other noun to indicate the words and thoughts you were conveying.
i'll read some of that, but you are link spamming. you could at least do us the favor of summarizing what you find most important about this gentleman's thesis.
i would resist the notion that white privilege is magical or etherial. As a white person, i notice it quite often. I'm treated differently in stores, i grew up in a setting where most people looked like me, people expect me to do well in school and to identify with academic and economic success. people don't randomly ask me if they can score some drugs. i don't get attention from police simply for being there. i know people who are professionally sucessful in their field, and we share an idenitified ethnicity.
i know i'm privileged. and i don't think these are perks just some folks should have. i think that they're crucial components to giving people the opportunity to be successful.
