Scroll down in the comments to Sundialer's post. This guy knows his stuff and has a great perspective for defusing the white privileged idiocy.
Here is the quote:
"White privilege" is a political concept designed to keep African Americans and other minorities resentful and confused over the false premise that just having white skin makes one a racist because it gives whites access to power and resources that minorities don't have. It is a particularly insidious and malevolent idea because it's true interests are not in equal access and opportunity but in equal outcomes. It isn't interested in the real causes of disparity in minority groups...it's real interest is more totalitarian in nature, to accumulate to its proponents the power to adjudicate what they deem socially "just." This means massive state mandated transfers of wealth and resources justified by the indictment that it has been stolen through ages of slavery, colonization, and genocide. There doesn't need to be a current identifiable offender. In other words, it is an all out assault on logic, liberty, the democratic process, and the rule of law. It will not tolerate any opposing viewpoint.
Substitute "white privilege" for "ruling class" and "racism" for "exploitation" and you have yet another form of Marxism rebranded and repackaged.
It is an inherently irrational concept that, upon closer analysis, falls apart under the weight of its own internal contradictions and circular logic. Even though "white privilege" can easily be called into question by empirical data from the latest U.S. Census, the Bureau for Labor Statistics, and other observable socio-economic measures...its proponents remain irritatingly impervious to facts. Subjective feelings are the only valid criteria of truth in their self-induced hermetically sealed intellectual bubble, conveniently immune to any critique...of which only prove the conclusion they assume in the premise anyway.
Q: Why did the elephant paint its toenails red?
A: Because it wanted to hide in the strawberry patch.
Q: Have you ever seen an elephant in a strawberry patch?
A: No.
S: That proves it works.
When you try to debate "white privilege" with people who are ardent believers, you are not dealing with rational people. Sorry. Because if you use flesh colored adhesive bandages for a paper cut...and you're white...why you're nothing but a damn racist out to put minorities back in chains!
