Yes, it exists. If a black person and a white person were waiting for a cab - most often the cab will pick up the white person. When a black person and a white person are standing at a counter in a department store, the white person is usually addressed first. When my black children and I walk into a video store we are followed around, while I see the white college boy stuffing a video in his pants. When a black candidate beats out a white candidate for a position, there's normally somebody yelling reverse discrimination - like black people aren't as intelligent as whites and couldn't possibly be more qualified.

No. Green is the only privilege that exists. Any other color doesn't matter unless you belong to the green class.

I think privelege exists but not white privelege. Therer are white people who are rich and poor. There are black people who are rich and poor. There are asian people who are rich and poor.
I am white and was the first person from my family to go to college. I had to work my butt off to get scholarships to go to school. Then I had to take out student loans to pay for the rest. Mommy and Daddy didn't pay my way because they couldn't afford to.
I remember times when I was a kid that my dad got laid off from his job and our family barely made it.
I know tons of white people just like me. So I don't buy white privelege for a second.
I now make a fair living although I am not rich by any means. I sturggle to make ends meet sometimes, but I work hard and things work out. Welcome to life.
I also have many friends of other races who make way more than I do.

well... look at who is rich... the vast majority are white males... even relative to the population
so that means ONE OF TWO THINGS...
either
a. white people are naturally smarter and work harder, so they are more successful, which I don't believe and is a blatantly racist attitude
or
b. white privilege exists
how else does anyone explain the huge disparity?

of course it exists. i see/hear it all the time.
the subtle assumption that whites are competent,
blacks or minorities have to work harder to prove it.
from the real estate agent being worried that houses
in an indian neighborhood will lose their value to...
comments i hear every day. it's a small part of life
but white priviledge does exist.

Don,t ask a white person a question like that, they will always say no, they are in deep denial.

saddy it odes in many places, I think it depends on where you live. Off reservation in South Dakota you will see signs saying Indians not permitted even today

No it does not exist.
It is just an excuse for people who fail to apply themselves.
