White privilege is thinking a comedian making fun of the way you dance is racism, and never having to experience the pain, humiliation, fear, and downright worthlessness that comes with being the victim of real racism. I call you crackers not because I think it hurts you, but because it’s funny to watch you overreact. If cracker hurt you the same way nigger hurt me, I’d never use that word against you, crackers.
White privilege is saying something people of color have been saying for ages and being considered a hero and constantly given validation while the POC who came up with those ideas were considered evil, harmful threats to society.

White privilege is reading posts about racism and thinking you have a right to talk about how it affects you. Alternately, white privilege is getting to have a sense of entitlement to things that have nothing to do with you and framing it under the guise of “equality.”
White privilege is having the music your people make stole from blacks considered deep, meaningful, and real, while music made by blacks is considered ghetto, trashy, and harmful to society.
