To further elaborate on my point...
I understand the big picture regarding racial inequality.
Being born with built-in societal disadvantages based on the color of one's skin is unjust and wrong; and should be fixed.
My point is, when Kweli and other activists of his ilk, word things in a such away (like the quote above), he should not be surprised that the tone leads to argument and defensiveness, rather than a positive discussion on how to move forward.
My reaction to what he wrote (as a somewhat liberal white male)...Was showing my first reaction to make the point that activists are using rhetoric that does not help their cause. Can only imagine the first reaction of someone who's ignorant or racist. Doesn't excuse their views.., and Diabolic or whoever else reacted on his twitter is probably not the best steward of getting such a point across..

I also think "black un-privilege or non-privilege" is a more accurate term.
Whites don't have an advantage. They just don't have a built-in Disadvantage. And believe it or not, I think there's a difference and that the difference matters
