California’s state panel on “reparations” for slavery postponed a decision on who should qualify for compensation — whether only the descendants of slaves, or all people of color, based on the idea that the United States suffers from “systemic racism.”
Would they accept reparations with Full Accounting?
Full accounting means subtracting these from the total:
Cost of Civil War and death benefit calculation for Union losses
The cost of Liberia. An entire country we bought for them.
Taxpayer-funded housing, education, healthcare, etc.
All black wealth including tv stars, musicians, and athletes.
Royalty deduction for basketball, tennis, and football.
Royalty deduction for use of the English language.
Bill for property damage to places like Baltimore and Chicago, 2020 rioting, looting, and vandalism.
Restitution for other violent crime, rape, theft, etc.

As for "white privilege", I used to be a hiring manager at a Fortune 100 company, so I know better and I also know for a fact there is "black privilege", "gay privilege" and "female privilege".

I refuse to hire women. No way will I give them the opportunity to falsely accuse me with zero accountability.

yup. Can't argue with that. I once got accused for merely asking if she recovered from her sickness. Nothing came of it, of course, but the mark was made. She was a fat ugly hog too, have no idea where she came up with the notion someone was hitting on her.

We are all walking on egg shells as white males. It's not as bad as in the 1990s in that we have more process, investigation & occasional pushback.
In much of the 1990s, accused meant they just walked you out the door.
Of course now, we are learning to keep communications very formal, unemotional & as minimal as possible. Generally require witnesses in dealing with opposite sex/minorities
