    if you are treated with a basic level of courtesy, respect and patience simply due to your skin color, than you have privilege based on your race.

    being a former State Senator, US Senator, Attorney and Harvard Grad makes one very qualified to be President. certainly more than Trump was.

    even poor white are treated with a minimal level of benefit of the doubt, respect and courtesy that many non-whites do not receive.

    thats white privilege.

    Not in Obama's case because he was a first term U.S. senator with Zero meaningful national level experience and no leadership or management experience. Trump has been wheeling and dealing at a high level for decades and has LIVED both management and leadership. Trump was massively qualified in comparison to Barack Obama.

    How am I taking it to the "extreme"?

    All of our actions with other people are based on a give and take response, whether consciously or not. If you're ONLY going to be beholden to yourself, you're going to have a tough time of it.

    You actually mean to tell me you do not care if anyone ever responds to your posts? That is in essence what you are claiming.

    Everyone should be proud of their ethnic heritage, no matter what it is

    Especially since no one chooses their heritage.

    Latino is a meaningless term that can apply to any race. If you come from a "Latino" background but grew up American then you're going to identify with your racial group, not the Latino part.

    When Spaniards become Americans our stupid system calls them Latino. Trust me, they will not feel like they are one among the Mexicans here.

    says you.

    I know lots of Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Cubans, Argentinians, who grew up in the USA but are very aware and proud of their ethnic heritage.

    I have a Spanish friend who calls herself Spanish, not Latina.

    But she knows Latinos are the result of her peoples' colonialism so she doesn't knock them

    Maybe you are.

    At least the religious nature of your ideology is undeniable.

    The keyword was 'solely'. Read it again. There is more to privilege than so-called race. When and where are both very significant.

    So, perhaps it would be at least honest on your part to admit that you, yourself, are unaware of the water around you. I have no idea what you mean by "would have ever gotten to that waffle house". Do you suppose that in all of the previous brushes with law enforcement to include the USSS, that your racist opinion would indicate that he would have found himself in jail? Really? Because that is seemingly what you just wrote. So, if Reinking were black, he would have already been incarcerated? Seriously? Laughable.

    Or worse, as I infer that your real intent here is to suggest that had Reinking been black, he would have been gunned down by LEOs at the waffle house? Again, facts, not in evidence, especially in Nashville. To put a very fine point on it, the only folks asserting anything nefariously racist are folks, like you.

    Frankly, there is no desperation except from folks, again, like you. Having been demonstrated the racist that your rhetoric paints you as, your answer is what? Double down on your own racism? That seems unlikely to be persuasive here.

    How about, instead of you trying to steer the conversation in a direction that you seem determined, try sticking with the actual facts. Drop the senseless racism inherent in your direction. No one is buying it.

    One, I would like to see the videos of him actually taking anything to his room...

    Two, you honestly don't believe any black person has had an arsenal in their hotel rooms before? Or if Stephen did everything the same, just had darker skin, he would have been watched more carefully? Sounds like your projection is showing on how you see and treat others.
