I will freely use 'white privilege' term when I see it 'appropriate' or to make people in real life aware. This is the right term that just says it all. Just as I see every day how people freely use other terms to refer to the 'majority' of people. And everyone's fine with it. The environment just conditioned the white people that they are prone to not getting hurt. But it is not true. Or I'll just use the term to just shock those who are visiting who think we know nothing about them. Make them get off their uppity high horses from time to time or something. Recognize their BS. Well as they say 'know thy enemy'.

If you feel that it will increase awareness, I'm all for it. However, it seems to me that the term will have little effect on those who exhibit white privilege while instilling racial hatred in underprivileged non-whites. It's your call. Let me know how it goes.
So easy for you to be idealistic, reminds me of my youth. I wonder how you'd be like when you have this feeling. But you're lucky you never have to experience it. Here's for you.
If I lose my idealism I become like everyone else, pragmatic and then, Machiavellian. Not going there.
I live by Baldwin's quote. People deride me for it because it dents their comfort bubble. That won't change either.
Sadly, that is how the world operates right now. The Machiavellian alpha males of the world.
