ok but here’s the difference. when people have a prejudice against Black people, Black people experience genocide, rape, violence, assimilation, relocation, and more. When people have a prejudice against white people, white people could lose their unfair position of power. 

That’s a pretty extreme way of looking at it considering most white people don’t have the power to do those things. This is just a way for anti-white bigots to justify why their racism is “better.”

White people as a power structure do have the power to do those things, and they do. And even on an individual level, white people are still murdering innocent, Black children, and walking away without any punishment. You can google it. I don’t have the time to link millions and millions of articles proving my point to someone who believes that white people can experience racism. 

I don’t know about any other white people. But I know I personally can’t commit genocide or relocate “PoC.” And look, on an individual level black people also have that power. Hell, sometimes they even use it.

People have this bizarre fantasy about how powerful white people are. Like privilege makes them motherfucking sorcerers. It’s stupid. Racial prejudice is racial prejudice.

Even if you don’t participating in the genocide of peoples of color, which are still going on today, you still benefit from it. That is white privilege. You still get to benefit from white privilege even if you don’t commit acts of racism yourself.
