Is it productive to repeatedly remind white people of how privileged they are?

[TheKentuckian]

107. There is plenty as there is plenty of focus on various forms to avoid the biggest one, class.

All kinds of dynamics at work and a lot of razzle dazzle.

Whatever privilege the protestant, white male homeless veteran has isn't worth a lot of time discussing that I can see anything productive coming from it nor do I have much interest in burning daylight contemplating the obstacles that Herman Cain's children will face.

Chris Rock wasn't wrong when he said that their are poor whites that wouldn't trade places with him, I can't deny some folks would "see how this white thing works out" but Chris ain't nowhere near stupid as those crackers and would consider for a second switching places with their deadend ass. Maybe he swaps with Dana Carey or even his neighbor the dentist who lives in the same block without having to deal with celebrity and crazy fans for a similar lifestyle and there we would have some context where the privilege could be observed with the human eye and without getting so damn bogged down in minutia that the whole discussion is a train wreck.

Why is a willful aversion to discussing class privilege, much less addressing it. Better to get bogged down in a screaming match about some homeless straight guy's privilege versus Elton John than that of say Billy Joel.
Sometimes it seems like the intention is to distract rather than educate or correct, otherwise one might focus on what can be most easily digested.
