    I mean, poor white people still have privilege. It's not the oppression olympics or anything but shit

      1. Poor white people have privilege; OP hasn't thought through the concept all that well.
      2. Privilege does not mean "better off in every way;" it means you automatically get some benefit that's not afforded to other people.
      3. Telling someone "check your privilege" is obnoxious as fuck and is about the worst way to have these conversations.

        The thing is I have thought about it. And I understand very well my position in America. When I'm out with my group of friends that is almost always mixed I make sure to engage with the police when they harrras us. I've studied on the topic and know that I'll never actually understand what it's like to be black/brown in America. I know what the system is and know how to operate with in it and understand that I have that "privilege" It's more that my friend has always had a huge chip on his shoulder about the white man. And took a discussion we where having and turned it into a fight so he could own me and grand stand like a fucking lib.

          oh well then he's kind of a dick. maybe you shouldn't keep stressing yourself out by talking to them? It sounds like they just enjoy winding you up.

        Privilege does not mean “better off in every way;” it means you automatically get some benefit that’s not afforded to other people.

        The privilege of being shot second, rather than first

        Big news for all those white mass shooters who get taken alive
