Is the concept of "white privilege" counterproductive?

It seems to either lead to strong rejection and resentment, a mischaracterization of the concept, or the dreaded “white guilt”.

Do you think emphasis on racial strife obscures class issues? I think it’s obvious that a lot of privilege comes with wealth and that these racial lines seem to also often be class lines. A common response to “white privilege” I hear is “a lot of white people are poor”, which goes to show that we view “privilege” as being tied to wealth.

Bring on the shitstorm. Lol.
