1. Laws of my country do not discriminate against me because of my race.
2. I'm not being made to feel guilty because of my race.
3. I don't have to worry that anything I say on subjects even remotely related to race will be twisted to portray me as a racist, and spell the end of my career.
Enough for today - it already outweighs all 50 entires on the "white privilege" list, I think. And the time spent on collecting those 50 entries would have been far better spent teaching everyine, black or white, to take personal responsibility for their lives, and make the best of it, instead of blaming personal failings on the system.
