There is no "...conversation of white privilege." There is only an unbroken one-way stream of attacks. That is only possible when you lump all White people together, as you are doing. But conversation on this topic is not possible, unless it is one way only. If I say "I am not racist", you reply "You said you are not racist, that means you are a racist"; That is not a conversation.

"We minorities also see that as racist too." Lucky you that you can speak for all minorities. But it is actually accurate, as many of you - at least the Black segment of minorities - see anything and everything with nothing but a racial eye. Hell, just the use of the term "minorities" is suspect.

I have one question I wish you would answer honestly, without attacking me and my ancestors (oh well, go ahead, I've grown numb to it) - about the incessant complaints about white privilege - what exactly are you hoping to gain from this? Other than all White people committing mass suicide, what is it that you would like to see?
