How about making a counter-argument? The average white person is wealthier than the average black person--are you disputing that?

I'm simply shooting down your retarded premise that all people mean by "white privilege" is wealth disparity. If this were true, these people would bother to mention the various other ethnic groups that do better than European-Americans in America.

I never said that "all" of white privilege is wealth disparity. I merely gave an example because the author of the video seems to put words in Oprah's mouth... kind of like you.

Secondly, no other larger ethnic group in the US is as socioeconomically disadvantaged as black people.

Yeah, because I'm not some retard who is going to swallow down Hollywood's bullshit about white privilege. I'm not just going to sit here and listen to people's lies about white privilege. I don't give a shit what the pre-approved script the billionaire actress read off.

Lol. Being a minority is such a terrible thing until people can readily point out smaller minorities doing better, then suddenly being a majority is suddenly the bad thing. These circular arguments are truly exhausting. I get whiplash after so much of this narrative shifting.
