Yes, white privilege does exist although some white people will tell you otherwise.
It is pretty sad really when a race can not acknowledge that they were born into a privilege because of the color of their skin. It is sad that they do not see how their skin allows them advantages that minorities will always be at a disadvantage simply because they are not white.
For the record, I love everybody and thank God for everyone because we all deserve equality and respect regardless of what race we are but there is simply no denying this social construct that I often see white people in denial about (which proves even more the entitlement and ambivalence with white privileged).
I will just say this and end it, if those 3 teenagers that were shot multiple times and killed in Ferguson were white, all hell would have broke lose but I guess since they were black teenagers in low class/underprivileged neighborhoods its "not that big of a deal".(Like with most racial crimes that involve young black men in America)
If that cop was African American and those three teens were white in a upper class neighborhood, best believe it would have been a different story....
