4. I'm sorry but your OP makes no sense
Yes, whites benefit by white privilege and there isn't anything bigoted about saying that is a SYSTEMIC INSTITUTIONAL problem even if every white person may not CLAIM white privilege but gets stuck with the consequences of being white in a society that guarantees white privilege via INSTITUTIONAL bias.

OTOH, when you wish to discuss African Americans, you DO need to consider whether the issues you are discussing are INSTITUTIONALLY driven to represent them or whether YOUR ISSUES are driven by YOUR biases. If you can't discuss the issues without them being DRIVEN by your biases, then that isn't our fault.

I feel as though you are putting the onus on me because you can't seem to discuss an issue without your biases being brought to light for you.
