If you are a white male (I am) then you almost certainly ARE privileged at some level and imo should be aware of that.

This is a completely separate matter from being ashamed of said privilege (I don't think this is reasonable or productive), or being held responsible for racism in general (obviously ridiculous unless you are right now a bona fide racist). But that level of nuance doesn't fit neatly in a 30 second inflammatory commercial.

yea see you doubled down.

i’m a military veteran from a poor family with no college degree and have made my own way my entire life.

we are done with identity politics. keep it up and be left behind.

Who's done with it? The right? because no one loves identity politics more than them. Every single word that comes out of trumps mouth is about someones identity.
