According to a definition of racism...
Racism is the belief that the genetic factors which constitute race, ethnicity, or nationality are a primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that ethnic differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.[1][2][3] Racism's effects are called "racial discrimination." In the case of institutional racism, certain racial groups may be denied rights or benefits, or receive preferential treatment.
Well this is exactly what some at DKos believe when they talk about "White Privilege"

If as progressives we all stuck together addressing lack of education and economic unfairness in a color blind manner...you know what would happen...???
We would have a bigger coalition agains the Republicans and corportists...but these kind of diaries just divide this coalition further and allow the RW to win...and you know what else...That is why many poor white folks vote against their own self interest...because of diaries like the one linked above
Blacks would get a disproportionate benefit from these programs anyway...
So lets stop the "White Privilege" diaries because it is an insult to all those who are white and happen to be poor and disadvantaged
