Dude, you're white—or, at least, you look white [1], which is all the ammunition a Social Justice Warrior needs to accuse you of White Privilege, no matter what your surname is. Realize that, if they ever come after you, it will be people like me who'll defend you.

You really need to study the French Revolution. You think that because you're part of the current revolution that it won't eventually consume you as well? Consider Danton and Robespierre, a couple of the original "activists seeking equality" (or, rather, égalité). Danton once thought as you do; on his way to the guillotine he shouted at his former ally, "Robespierre, you will follow me! Your house will be razed! Salt will be sown there!" [1] Robespierre once thought as you do; he met the same fate as Danton less than four months later.

disproportionate victimization with sexual violence
Well, look at who is committing all that sexual violence and then talk about how white people are at fault:

Most of your other comments are similarly flawed. However, the shortest retort to every bitch and moan that comes from the grievance industry is the simple fact that black people in the US have a higher per capita income than any country in Africa [1]. Most other relevant metrics like education, lifespan, and even crime stats paint a pretty good picture for blacks living under the merciless jackboot of evil whites, when compared to living without all that racism.

[1] Actually, except one. That exception has a pretty straightforward explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_Guinea#mediaviewer/F...

????? Obviously, I was referring to men as the oppressing group on this point.
Re. the rest, let me make sure I understand your position. "As long as there is someplace black people are worse off than they are in the US, they have nothing to complain about and white privilege doesn't exist." Am I reading you right?
(Except if you're referring to the fault of not knowing that he's privileged. That is his fault.)
Why should he care? That's a question about his particular ethical priorities that I could only guess at. Why should any advantaged person care about the disadvantaged?
Income inequality didn't prevent a rising standard of living for everyone, what makes social inequality inherently bad?
Ew. What a gross thought. I guess it's convenient to believe for a privileged person, but, ew.
"Occasionally my gender-race is criticized for the oppression it, as a whole, has and continues to heap on other groups" cries the white man. "Hostility! I understand it!" he says.
Meanwhile, all the other groups deal with actual adversity. I mean things worse than newspaper articles pointing out how you start with advantage. Things like disproportionate violence at the hands of the police and the state, disproportionate victimization with sexual violence, inability to move forward in the corporate world, imbalanced expectations regarding family life, dress, body shape, etc. Even things like being less likely to be called back for a job interview because of your name.
Yeah, white men, including you, really do not get it.
