DRIVING: And white privilege

Mr. Barry Sellers, thank you for your reply to my letter in Sunday’s (July 5) Coeur d’Alene Press, but I am afraid you missed the point. I never doubted what Keven told me because I knew him. I knew the kind of person he was … his honesty and integrity. Besides, if he had been the sort of driver you suggested, he surely would have received a ticket or at least a warning. He was never even given a reason as to why he was pulled over.

You also said that “owning a Jeep has exactly zero to do with white privilege.” I think in this case it did, for whenever Keven drove his other, beat-up car he was not pulled over. I am curious though, how do you define “white privilege?”
