There's a logical fallacy -- I don't recall the name -- that essentially involves stating a premise that is so vague that it can neither be proven nor disproven, then obligating your opponent to do the impossible. That is exactly what "white privilege" is. It is intentionally vague, abstract, and unprovable, so it remains an assertion with no logical weight. It is merely the evolution of the worn-out term "racism."

Its counterpart is black privilege, which is concrete and provable (even codified, in many cases). "Affirmative action," OJ Simpson, Al Sharpton's tax evasion, Charlie Rangel's financial shenanigans, Eric Holder's double standards, and Barack Obama's transparent incompetence are demonstrable examples of black privilege, as is the whole "white privilege" movement.

"White privilege" is just another way for the left to holler "evil whitey" (is the cause of everything that's wrong). In the old days various race-baiters would shriek that anytime a white conservative or Republican would say or do anything that Dems opposed (like shrinking the budget), they were basically hollering the n word.

Well now we have a growing number of lib leftists who use the term "white privilege" when they mean to holler "cracker" or "honky" or "evil whitey."

The race baiters can't give up on the "racist, evil whitey" theme, because that would mean their prime constituency, black Americans, would have to acknowledge that they were responsible for their own problems. That is something the race-hustlers will never do.
