The invisible knapsack. I haven’t read it but I have read articles on it. I have a good understanding of what white privilege is, but I don’t think me expressing an opinion on BLM is me exercising that privilege. In fact one of the points about white privilege is that we ( white people) don’t exercise it knowingly because it is inherent in our society.

Again, unfortunately the term white privilege, along with racist and other things have been hijacked and are then used not to encourage debating the issues that need debating but is used to shut down anyone with a contrary point of view.

Again, you're always trying with the snide little comments and insults.You really should stop, Your attempts at sneering at individuals whom you believe to be inferior to you detract from your articulate arguments
I don’t think that’s fair but you’re welcome to your opinion
