Okay, I get it when white people are puzzled by the term, "White Privilege" and respond with, "so why am I living pay check to pay check?" Fair enough. Shaming people is a waste of time anyway because what can they actually do about being white? 

But what they don't understand is that at least they get a shot. A white person can take a shower, put on a clean shirt, and go virtually anywhere without having to worry about being harassed or worse. That matters.

Why is this a zero sum? Why are human rights viewed as something to be granted or given up?
