1. This sort of thing gets to my quarrel with the term "white privilege," as if the protection of the laws is a bad thing we should dispense with, rather than a right we should expand & guarantee on an equal basis.https://twitter.com/EddieZipperer/status/1269951088964370432 …

9. Precisely. The Cornerstone speech & the "mudsills" theory were all about claiming that liberty could exist only as a racial privilege for some at the expense of others, not a right for all. That was the struggle over the meaning of republicanism underlying the Civil War.https://twitter.com/AstorAaron/status/1270016935389024256 …

That's a very eloquent speech that proves you completely misunderstand the entire debate. The strawman you're arguing against has been blown to smithereens. Now, explain why you think the natural rights of all human beings should not be granted to all human beings.

My position is that the natural rights of all human beings should be granted to all human beings & not described as a privilege. If you disagree with that, say so.

But whether natural human rights are RESPECTED by others, that’s the privilege white people in America have that black people do not.

That's quite the straw man you got going on there. The privilege lies in not noticing that police presence doesn't provide that sense of security to everyone - which is clearly her point in the clip.
