I wouldn't go that far bub there's definitely some amount of privilege that white people do have due to a system literally set up to benefit white supremacy.

It's just that both of these things exist in tandem.

Diddy definitely suffers from systemic racism but he didn't suffer quite as much as most people do his class privilege.

Remember comrade we should not marginalize the oppression our black and brown skinned comrades have suffered for hundreds of year.

It's both. Yes, there is no war but class war, but a massive part of the divide and conquer strategy that the ultra wealthy have been waging on humanity for centuries, if not millenia, includes a massive amount of racism and sexism in order to distract the masses from their actual oppressors.

Racism can easilly be traced back to the elites brainwashing the population (no baby is born racist), but it is absolutely a real thing. A big part of the reason why white privilege is a thing in the US is due to historical racism and slavery in the US. There was a whole civil war fought because the elites wanted to own black slaves, and we still see echoes of that to this very day.

Wealth matters. But him being black is the entire reason this wasn't swept under the rug, quietly.
