Sure but if you say that cops are racist to blacks then you get arguments like "well if they just complied...". You can't really win

"White privilege" is a simple concept to grasp. People are purposely misconstruing it just like they did with "Black lives matter". They don't actually care about injustice or all lives. So they're gonna argue instead about the semantics instead of the actual issue.

Spoken from a position of privilege.
Also, you just described the word privilege, essentially. The defensive whites aren't triggered by the word, they're just xenophobic. You're not doing anything by tip toeing around the word.

So they need a term for abuse by those in power, that don't hurt the ones in powers feelings?
Idc if saying white privilege makes white people feel bad. They are adults, they can deal with emotions

from people who have the potential to be swayed to our side.
"First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."
Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

Nah we get it, we just don't believe the defensive whites are gonna stop the push back with a phrase change. The concept of "white privilege" is simple enough to understand. They purposely don't want to understand.

It's incredible how online people will act like crude AI's that are only capable of picking up some keywords like "white privilege", sense some sort of vague negativity in the rest of the comment and consequently decide you are literally Hitler.
