the everyday reality that white people are treated with respect & are trusted more than people of color (poc). White privilege means that white folks voices & opinions are heard more often than pocs. Turn on the news and count the faces! It means white folks are more likely to advance in their jobs than poc. If a white person's voice is silenced or they are held back in their job, it is most likely not due to their skin color, but it may be due to their prejudices. White privilege means white people's full humanity is on display in the media & poc are reduced to stereotypes. White privilege does not mean that a white person will never experience classism or sexism or be faced with any dehumanizing stereotype. It just means that a white person experiences those things differently than a poc. It is a recognition that despite all other parts of a white person's life, they are less likely to be arrested, incarcerated, or to receive cruel sentences than a poc. They are more able to display/threaten violence or engage in violent behavior against others & leave the situation ALIVE. A white person could be incarcerated or killed, but black kids, unlike white kids, have been killed for playing in a playground or walking down the street. If you are white & still don't think white privilege exists, ask yourself if you would rather have your exact same life & be black.

A common term by the political left, trying to excuse it's inability to deal with an inferiority complex by blaming white people in an effort to project guilt on the white race as a whole.

The new term for the Millennial generation that used the term "white guilt" last decade, it is the overwhelming sense of guilt for being white and well off, after their parents worked hard for a better life for their children. A delusional white person who over compensates a brotha or sista with unjust rewards to curb their sense of white guilt, and obvious attempt to make up for enslaving blacks for 400 years. aka Guilty White Privilege.

A state of individual or group denial that whites in the U.S. or globally, have imperceivable or apparent, inherited, inherent, socio-economic advantages afforded by the past or current exploitation and disenfranchise-ment of other races or cultures, despite overwhelming evidence, which usually includes, but is not limited to, citing personal failures, citing the progress of the disenfranchised group, and the use of humor or sarcasm to confirm and reinforce the denial.
