White privilege is exists in the United States. There is no reason to bring up "whatabouts." If you are white in the US, you have white privilege. This is not a hard concept to understand at all, once you get past the denial. I disagree with your last statement. Comparing one unfortunate group with another doesn't have anything to do with white privilege, which is what the article is about. As for your black heroes, you might do some research to find how many famous black entertainers moved to France and elsewhere. I think you are assuming much by attempting to speak for black Americans when you tell me how great it is here.
