In Seattle it looked like the majority of rioters were white. Stats on that from actual footage would be interesting. I guess they didn't get their allotment of white privilege that particular day
BTW I find the term white privilege to be f'ning ugly. I came from a poor white family, I didn't get to go to college like a lot of you, we didn't live in a big house or get to have a bunch of stuff. So stop telling me I have white privilege.
We have a large homeless problem here around Seattle and outlaying areas. I have yet to see a black or minority homeless person. And I've seen a lot of them, on the streets and on the news. Every one I've seen so far has been white. I guess they didn't get their white privilege either.
I'll tell ya what white privilege is, it's a way that rich white college kids who grew up in a nice home with new cars can alleviate their guilt over having so much while the rest of us have so little...Yoda nailed it, it's about economic privilege. Rich people have rich affluent kids, who get lots of chances due to their money. Poor people have poor kids who have it much tougher and usually end up poor. It's all about economic privilege.
