Lol, no. This is what happens when you don't talk to real leftists and spend all your time circlejerking each other.
Calling someone privileged because they are white is because whiteness bestows privileges. You're like, "No, it doesn't!"
White people own 86% of wealth and make up 60% of the population
...the homeownership rate for white households was 75 percent compared to 45 percent for Black households, 48 percent for Hispanic households, and 57 percent for non-Hispanic households of any other race.
White High School Drop-Outs Are As Likely To Land Jobs As Black College Students
And there's plenty more. There is a very strong correlation between a white skin color and being anywhere other than the bottom of the social strata in the United States. Whiteness as privilege is just a shortened quip that captures that idea. You're essentially attacking a strawman.
Now, I will admit that #NotAllWhitePeople are as privileged as the white label might suggest. I've lived in Dayton, OH, hollowed out by automakers outsourcing their operations to Mexico, and they are clearly very poor. That East Palestine train débâcle is a case in point. And it flies in the face of the fact that middle-aged white men, generally considered to be the wealthiest, kill themselves at a higher rate that any other demographic.
Critical race theory is a grift. It's not real. What's real is class warfare. Rich people are happy for us to fight each other over the scraps from their table. But feel free to keep carrying that water.
I'm willing to have this conversation, but can you give me a fair definition of what CRT is?
Because simply asserting stuff without evidence is not worth my time.
By CRT I mean Critical Race Theory as presented by the hack Richard Delgado in his book.
I haven't read the book. What did he say it was?
... it's a book. You want me to duplicate it in comments here? Any place selling the book will have a favourable summary. Any place critiquing it will have a negative one. If any actual philosopher bothers to discuss it, they won't be favourable to it at all.
Can you be more specific on who you are talking about. The world is more complex than black yellow and white.
Uhh be more specific how?
I'm quite evidently not talking about the whole world, only a small portion of it.
I looked it up btw, did you?
Well we are investigating white people with money so lets narrow it down. I'll look up who the richest white americans are and their demographics and see just who these wealth hoarders are.
