I think what disturbs me about the notion of "white privilege" and "Critical Race Theory" in general is that it appears to be an incredibly superficial theory superimposed on incredibly complex issues. If only it was all so simple.
What occurred to me while making dinner tonight was that the idea is meant to get the "disadvantaged" to rebel against the unjust "white system", to bring it down. This isn't about so-called "social justice" it is about inflaming age old hatreds with a bogus theory and reminded me of how Hitler's Germany portrayed the Jewish people in order to enable their radical solution. Perhaps the proponents of Critical Race Theory are the new Nazi's.
If it were solely about "privilege" then it wouldn't need the adjective "white".
"Privilege", if it really is a problem, has more facets than the old stereotype that
white folks gots it so unfairly good, eg, privileges granted to woman, privileges
grant to Amerindians, etc, etc. Some "privilege" will be greater than other
"privilege" in different circumstances, but there are nonetheless many flavors.
So the cry of "white privilege" strikes me as narrow thinking, with a pinch of
racial blaming, & a dash of limited redress of real societal problems.
