Since you're fairly new here, you may not realize that the Rules and Guidelines prohibit any political discussion on this forum. Ages ago, it got so ugly here, as I'll bet you can imagine, that a whole separate forum was created (Just Politics, or "JP"), along with a separate one for Leisure, for non-business related discussion. On JP, we are free to make any kind of statement about any topic, regardless of how controversial. Bring it here, and it's reportable - as you've already seen - and could lead to posting privileges being denied. And yes, it has happened. Sometimes it's very tough to draw that line, but this forum is a much, much better place since that separation was made.
I should add that this is all quite apart from whether or not white privilege exists (or male privilege, for that matter...) Sadly, the topic of racism is still so controversial that it belongs in JP. And FWIW, people of all sexes and colors can get their noses bent out of joint when they don't have ID that supports their name on the ID.
