@TD: I see. So you are saying even black people use the term incorrectly, mostly to mean “racism”. In a similar way men are “privileged” (or so 99% would say) because of sexism?

“White Privilege”
by minimus inlately that’s all i’ve been hearing about!
i’m sick and tired of listening to white people begging for forgiveness simply because they are white.
in a nearby town, a six year old girl asked her mom, “ why don’t we have a black lives matter march here?

@TD: Ok, still trying to narrow it down.
We are starting to just list examples, but perhaps they might be helpful. You can already see the moves being made - you list an example, but counter examples immediately pop out. Statistics will soon be on the way.
So initially you said that white people are defensive around the term “white privilege” because we just don’t quite understand it, or use the term correctly. And yet, it can’t really be defined - except with the “you know it when you experience” it argument. And so we have no choice but to attempt to enumerate example experiences to help ‘get the feeling’ of it.
“Privilege” went to “preference” then to “extreme preference” to “prejudice”. I wonder, could it be heading toward a general “racism” at this point? And if that is the case, are you sure white people don’t understand what is implied by that term?

That's privilege. --Immediate acceptance into the social group based on skin color and geographic origin.
That doesn’t sound like “privilege”, it sounds like “preference”. Do you honestly think that black people would not also express an “immediate acceptance” for other blacks? Would you call that “black privilege”? Don’t you think those blacks might share something more than skin color?

Within 4 days the leaders of CHAZ have 1) come up with the most ridiculous name, 2) established a commune with no police, 3) erected walls, border walls, you know... to keep those on the other side out, 4) exhausted all food, 5) begged for more food and appropriate vegan substitutes, 6) started to shake down local businesses, 7) established a new “police” force, 8) obtained rule by “warlord” rapper, 9) began checking everyone at the border of CHAZ for ideological purity, and 10) fully implement stop-and-frisk for anyone that “looks unusual”.

Which is exactly why it elicits feelings of defensiveness among white people.
Are you saying that if only white people understood the term’s true meaning, we wouldn’t be so worked up?

So, after the fallout, what is “white privilege”? Can it be clearly defined? How can it be detected? What distinguishes “white privilege” from making better decisions, having kids within a family, staying out of crime? Why aren’t we talking about “Asian privilege”, since they earn more than whites, are involved in less crime than whites, and have more intact families?

Patriarchal meaning
"relating to or characteristic of a system of society or government controlled by men."
Within the context of the statement and the title of that section "black villages", the statement seems to suggest that they want to deal with the issues/practice of absent "men/fathers" that pushes black women to work "double shifts" in order to care of their children.
What is wrong with that?If the BLM statement were clear, without the word salad, you wouldn’t have to let us all know what it “seems to suggest”. I don’t buy your explanation.
So to be clear, they explicitly state that they want to dismantle the nuclear / traditional family, and yet, at the same time, address the overwhelming majority of black fathers leaving these families? Well, they want the men to stick around, but not in a family, so mothers do not have to parent, but rather engage in “public justice work”? (Because they explicitly say this, so I can only assume that it has meaning).
So in their mind, there is no traditional family. But a village, right? Just men sticking with their baby-mamas, doing father work, so that the mother can participate in “public justice work”, and swoop in later to “mother in private”? But since the fathers are doing the parenting, and the mother is out doing “public justice work”, were do they get the money from? Perhaps they still are counting on the welfare payments because the father isn’t in the house? Or perhaps they have that good old communist hard-on?
It’s all word salad. They won’t state anything clearly because a clear view of the problem might actually imply a solution they are ideologically opposed to.
