An invisible package of unearned assets that whites can count on cashing in each day, but about which they are 'meant' to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, maps, passports, codebooks, visas, clothes, tools , and blank checks.
Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack of white privilege:
-I can if I wish arrange to be in the company of people of my race most of the time.
-I can turn on the television or open to the front page of the paper and see people of my race widely represented.
-When I am told about our national heritage or about "civilization," I am shown that people of my color made it what it is.
-I am never asked to speak for all the people of my racial group.
-I can remain oblivious of the language and customs of persons of color who constitute the world's majority without feeling in my culture any penalty for such oblivion.
-I can easily find academic courses and institutions which give attention only to people of my race.
-I can chose blemish cover or bandages in "flesh" color and have them more or less match my skin.

Get the white privilegemug. A word used to describe a person of White race, but who:
1) is acting Black (wigga), or
2) who shares the same social status as people from the Black ghetto (especially people from Catholic countries, mostly: Poland, Spain, Italy, also Ireland), or
3) who is working very hard and gets little money for it, referring to Black people cruelly enslaved and forced to work for nothing (i.e. Polish people in the Netherlands), or
4) who is discriminated on the ethnic surface (i.e. "Untermensch" meaning "subhuman" referring to Jews, Poles, Gypsies and Serbs along with all non-Europeans).
5) also used by the KKK and White supremacists to describe some ethnicities who are white, but do not belong to the pure Germanic/Nordic/Aryan race, which are for instance ethnic Jews, Slavic people and Southern-European people.

"There was a dramatic shortage of Polish brides and Poles were very often called “white niggers” by the WASPs, settlers of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant origin. Hence, the Poles often chose Black women, sharing almost the same social status.
Those Poles, the earliest emigrants, were mostly simple farmers for whom black women, born and raised on the cotton fields, were the perfect match. The word “racism” did not exist in the Polish mentality. "

Get the white niggermug. Upper middle class people who are normally very classy but find themselves surrounded by idiots in a public setting (Movie theater, DMV, Mall, etc.) and the unfortunate White Trash side of them comes out.
The White Class person will typically be from the New York area and will usually be a Guido, but can be spotted all across the United States.
If provoked long enough a typical "White Class" person will attack a persons intelligence, choice in clothing, significant other, and over all stupidity. Usually results in shouting, insulting, and sometimes the exchanging of fists.
