Yes, there IS white privilege

In some areas, of course there is white (aka Caucasian) privilege. Let me count the ways:

1. In murder rates, whites clearly come out on top. They have the privilege of being fewer victims
White on white murder rates are 16%. Black on Black murder rates are 97%.

2. 72 percent of all black children live in single family homes.

Only 19 percent whites live in single family homes.

3. Poverty rates show a white and an ASIAN privilege, in that white only families in poverty make up 8.6 percent of the country, same numbers for Asian families. The families with the highest poverty rates are American Indian and Alaskan native at 25% and blacks at 17 percent

To break it down, blacks have been the victims of the Democrat welfare state, which has broken up their families and put them in ghettos. As a result, their scholastic achievement is inferior to whites and Asians; their family unit is mostly single parent; their safety in their own homes and neighborhoods is compromised since blacks commit most violent crimes. And because of the single parent thing, blacks live in poverty at the highest numbers.

I don't blame blacks as a race for this. It would be bigoted and racist to suggest that. Had the Democrats targeted whites for the affirmative action, welfare, etc, whites would be at the lower end of this study as well.
There is white privilege and you can thank the Democrats for that.
There IS institutionalized RACISM, and you can thank the Democrats for implementing affirmative Action (which is the JIM CROW of the Seventies).

Government policies - Democrat or Republican - are well-meaning but foolish. I don't have right or wise counter-measures for dealing with the white/black/minority disparity in America. The hands off approach is best.

Government is expected to deal with citizens in need without distinction. We are all human beings, and those who have difficulty coping must have access to public support.

@sree251 @sree251 The ONLY legitimate function of government would be to enforce the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment. Welfare and affirmative action not only have failed to make black people's lives better, they have made those lives WORSE.
They assume blacks are inferior and incapable of making it on their own. That's typical DEMOCRAT mentality. Of course, Democrats at one time believed blacks were superior, at least on the open capitalist market, and passed JIM CROW laws to prevent blacks from competing.
In both cases, government policies from Democrats have proven to be a disaster.
