I don't know what your understanding of privilege is, in the context of discussing White Privilege, to consider Whoopi Goldberg a privileged actor. In my view, White Privilege is based on a set of automatic assumptions about inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, decent and indecent, who is guilty until proven innocent vs. who is innocent until proven guilty etc. This goes along with automatic unmerited entitlements for whites that blacks cannot get. With all the negative stereotypes and false values, Whoopi Goldberg is considered ugly while Eurocentric featured Halle Berry is considered beautiful. There is much more that can be said about this, but I hope you get my point about White Privilege. It is not a privilege to have money from legitimate earnings.
I want to leave others with this reasoning for now as it is not my intention to be an ongoing spokesman for women when there are so many women who can adequately defend themselves.
