Disproving White Privilege In 30 Seconds

I think it always helps to define our terms.  What exactly do we mean by "white privilege?"  I was thinking that "white privilege" was a broad term that meant that white people are treated better than non-white people.   In general, I agree with that statement.  I do think that white people in a very general sense are treated better than non-white people.  Of course, one might say, skinny people are treated better than fat people, tall people are treated better than short people, and beautiful people are treated better than ugly people.  But I digress.  

What exactly is "white privilege?"  So I went to wikipedia for a definition, and here it is.  It's an interesting concept.  

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_privilege

I think I would agree that white privilege exists, but where we go from there would be a real puzzle, because most of the solutions I've seen proposed are counterproductive.

And the above sentence is a perfect example of the difference between liberals, moderates, and conservatives.  

Liberals: here's the problem, here's the solution.
Conservatives: those problems are not real, and the proposed solutions are terrible.
Moderates: the problems are real, but the proposed solutions are terrible.  

In the case of race and racism, I see the problem, but I don't see any proposed solutions that don't make the problem worse than it already is.
