2. It's Class privilege! Not white skin privilege.

I remember back in the 60's when I had long hair I got beat up for that very reason. I guess back then there were short hair privilege. The essence of oppression is class struggle. You don't have to be Marxist to know that. Racism is just a tool in the tacit, "Divide and Conquer" Racism is a problem but not the core problem.
White skin privilege is a term created in the early 70's by Politically correct activists on various college campuses. Poor whites and working whites can land jobs because of the color of their skin. We have a economic Caste system and it is not determine by physical appearance. Poor white are suffering as same as poor blacks. There is an epidemic of methamphetamine in the poor white community and nobody says a thing. White Skin privilege implies that Caucasian have it easier in the USA that other poor people. If the mass working class and poor united in a multi-racial front against the ruling class, we would have a neat little revolution.
