Today, in an attempt to heal racial tensions white privilege often comes up as a major factor in keeping black people oppressed in the US.
From my perspective, a conversation about white privilege is an initiative by the klan to keep black people down. The more black people can blame white people/the white man for their short comings, the less likely they will take responsibility and create wealth for themselves.
In this way, the klan can claim white superiority. In the end, conversations about white privilege is a win for the klan.
End Note: Okay, an initiative by the klan is a stretch, but you get the point. The reality is good people had good intentions, but the road to hell is often paved with good intentions.

Very thought-provoking perspective, @rajbeekie! I agree that there is an orchestrated effort to keep society separated by race and class but feel it's not only the klan using these tactics. I think those in power use the "divide and conquer" method to keep a stranglehold on us all.
The divide and conquer is as old as Sun Tzu. This was one of his 13 strategies on how to win a war. Conquering forces have used it over the centuries.
