What will I achieve specifically because of my race? Please enlighten me.
Wrong question. The right question is, "What wouldn't I have achieved if I hadn't been born white?"

>>Premise Four: Civilization is based on a clearly defined and widely accepted yet often unarticulated hierarchy. Violence done by those higher on the hierarchy to those lower is nearly always invisible, that is, unnoticed. When it is noticed, it is fully rationalized. Violence done by those lower on the hierarchy to those higher is unthinkable, and when it does occur is regarded with shock, horror, and the fetishization of the victims.

P.S.
I too am a white american male, who only came to understand privilege through great personal suffering.
I have seen the same statement many times before, but have yet to actually see a specific, real world example.
Please provide me with an example.
