What does " white privilege " mean to most working class whites ?


        I know what Hillary is suggesting when she says " I am from the 60s ". I too am just her age and I do identify with the idealism even the radicalism of that era. But as democratic Socialist I more readily give critical support to Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
Hillary Clinton's support for imperialist wars disguised as defensive war on terrorism and her support for Wall Street greed does not endear her to her own generation- still idealistic and un-compromised in their core values.
Indeed the Neo-Democrats- like Obama and Hillary- make the New Deal president Franklin D. Roosevelt look like a flaming Bolshevik.
The old class struggle cannot be stifled by slick and often phony political correctness campaigns.
The attacks on racism do nothing to eliminate the systemic inequality of the capitalist system.
What does " white privilege " mean to the poor, homeless, unemployed or desperate and insecure white working class people ?
And how secure is the white middle class ?
