So because Skip Gates taught at Harvard, he had no right to complain when a cop busted him for trying to enter his own house. Cool, cool.

Maybe consider this: as a white guy you're never going to have a cartoon like this made about you.pic.twitter.com/SIM1kt7zLq

If that’s what that means I’ll trade my white privilege for her economic privilege any day

The ultimate privilege in America is economic. Jeong may have to face certain mean words or actions I won’t but her life overall is much more privileged due to her status.

So a class argument.... your initial error is thinking your life would be exactly the same but with more money. I hope you can get more perspective and figure out why there more to life than money.

I didn’t say my life would be the same- I said her life is more privileged because of her status. There is more to life than money. But life is way easier if you have money. That’s just fact.

As an empirical matter, that's dubious. Well-to-do blacks (doctors, professors) often live in poorer neighborhoods than middle class whites, and can suffer police harassment (as with Skip Gates). You should read the literature on this. It's enlightening.
