I'm sick and tired of hearing about white privilege. The reason people are successful in life, regardless of their race, is that they know how to get along with people, have developed skills which qualify them for jobs, and take basic responsibility for their lives. People who fail to do this, regardless of their race, usually wind up complaining about their situation and usually blame others for their problems. Race is a cheap excuse for failure.
The essence of "white privilege" is being educated, being polite, and acting civilized.
