Thomas, I respectfully disagree. I do recognize your point about class privilege. Class took me a long time to really get. I thought I grew up middle class because middle class was “normal” and everybody on TV was middle class. I couldn’t understand why I felt so alienated among most of the students in college. I ended up hanging out with folks who ‘got me’ and guess who they turned out to be. Blacks, Latinos, and queers, many of whom came from working class or poverty. The smiling snobs I didn’t fit in with, they were upper middle class to wealthy. Class privilege exists. It’s a thing I can taste. BUT, and here’s the rub, poor white people still are favored over Black people. If you woke up Black tomorrow morning, you would feel the difference as soon as you walk out your door. Then you would know what privileges you had as a white person once you don’t have them any more. Add to that inherited white privilege if your grandparents lived in the US. Voting rights, land ownership, business licenses, bank loans, all the many economic ways that white families were enabled to get ahead and Black families were blatantly excluded adds up. You’ve had your “special treatment” for generations, my friend. It’s time to stop complaining about someone else getting it.
