what I’m doing is analyzing the concept of white privilege and making the claim that it is a racist concept.

Would you have made the same claim if it were, oh, say, the year 1800 ?

Of course not. Our country is constantly evolving and changing. Abolishment of slavery, civil rights movement, etc.

That’s inconsistent with the earlier statement: “the idea of white privilege is absolutely reprehensible and dangerous to society and how it is a very racist concept”. It sounds like it really isn’t absolute, and instead depends on the context.
