| I agree with Bob Woodward. That's the definition I was taught when I took sociology courses at the U. of Illinois (1966 -- 1970). I'm not saying that you are necessarily out of step. I am just curious if you are aware that the people I have cited in my previous post have come out so vehemently against much of what you are espousing. |

| But you still do not want to tell us what the definition is? Fine. Perhaps you do not want to share it because you realize that a whatever mysterious definition you are using from 50 years ago might not be consistent with current usage. Or maybe you are trolling and if you share the definition your game is up. |

| No, I thought I stated that clearly in various other posts in this thread. I was trying to avoid repeating myself too much. The definition of white privilege I was taught in my college class was that of white guys coming from well-to-do families, living in the best neighborhoods, going to the best schools, attending the finest universities, and getting the best jobs because of family connections. Bob Woodward and other journalists opined on MSNBC or CNN last fall that this is white privilege. He further stated that white guys from working class backgrounds do not necessarily enjoy white privilege. I've been posting on ATC since 1997. I'm not trolling or playing a game. I'm mostly a serious, straightforward poster. Some times I make mistakes, but when I do, I'm quick to admit them. |
