When I say that white priv is done, I am suggesting, and I should have been a bit more clear, is that the ball is rolling in the direction to eliminate it once Hillary makes the appointments. For me, this means it is done.Having a progressive supreme court isn't gonna magically reverse systemic racism and white privilege. At least not any time soon.
I don't think we'll see that truly dead within our lifetimes.
Many American whites have some sort of persecution complex, long before this election. The racists feel like their "white identity" is at risk due to the growing people of color population. Trump has retweeted several white supremacist pages whose profiles are filled with "white genocide" for example. They believe that the mixing of races and growing poc population is genocide against their white identity.
These types of attitudes have been brewing for a long time, Trump's rise has emboldened them so they're more out in the open now. Having a black president is what stoked the fire, Trump then threw gasoline on it.
There's a reason these type of people are drawn to Trump in an almost cult-like fashion. Rather than using the GOP's typical dog whistle tactics, Trump said **** it and swapped the whistle for a horn. The message is loud and clear to these people and they feel validated.
