(6,635 posts)owning another human being? Or maybe, the "right" to deny women the vote? Or how about a white male's "right" to tell women where, how, and under what conditions they can have an abortion? How about giving an entire race of Americans the "right" to separate-but-equal apartheid? Tell me again about how "rights" are not a privilege?
Yes Virginia, there IS white male privilege. But don't worry your little head about it, because no one is asking you to take responsibility for it. The remainder of society, however, will at least acknowledge that it did, and to a certain extent still does, exist and try and learn how to even out the opportunities for everyone in this country.
When was the last time someone was pulled over for "driving while male and white?"
