@Katinka Min thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to say. There is a time and a place to discuss white privilege (and I would suggest that people google Peggy McIntosh's essay "Unpacking The Invisible Backpack" before they insist that white privilege isn't real). However, this was not the time or place for Melissa to bring up white privilege and her case of sour grapes is the reason why people think "SJWs" are crazy.

There is no such thing as "White Privilege,." It is very easy to say that there is, but then somebody has to prove it, and nobody ever does.

Thank you - perfectly said!

it is not important to discuss "privilege" at all. That only undermines ANY and all conversations.

Just like that woman who got thrown off the plane the other day. SAME kind of person. How sad that "everything is about race" to people like this. I cannot IMAGINE saying something like that to someone (ANYONE, regardless of circumstances) who worked hard enough to get into Yale Medical School. To me, that was just awful. Instead of congratulations, this person wrote what she did and THEN after the young lady going to Yale explained how "wrong" it was for that person to assume her success was because of "white privilege" she got that pathetic response. That was unreal. The person who posted the mean remarks will definitely have a hard time in life, she's proven in her short posts that she will always be a "victim" and ultimately a loser in life. Solely because of her attitude. Pity.

True enough. Donald Trump & I are both white -- but we had vastly different amounts of privilege -- nobody loaned me $12,000,000, cheap, to start a business. It's not white privilege so much as non-white disprivilege(aka racism/hate)

Correct. And white privilege still probably exists I this case, too. Like, would orphan black siblings find it as easy to be adopted as white children? Would black siblings be adopted together, or split apart because no one wanted to adopt them both together?
