Part of this explains what privilege is fairly well. While there is something to be said about quoting another person who has put it better, this is just a bullet point list. It deserves a more thorough explanation. It also deserves a fair critique, which is what I hope to give it.
You mention that "[...] to the extent you exercise that privilege, yoou are racist. Note that the word 'discrimination' doesn't appear in this." (Elsewhere, for anybody else who may be reading this, not above.)
Racism (or sexism, or etc.) means exactly that one discriminates on the basis of race (or sex, etc.) It's part of the definition, you can't get away from it. I've gotten the impression that in discussions of various privileges, people label with racism (which will be my stand-in word for all such discriminations) a lot of things that have nothing to do with discrimination. One no-no is "don't ask a black lady to explain your white privilege to you." If you single her out because she's black to ask that question, that is racist. It's discrimination, even if it's not negative. If she brings it up, asking her is at worst ignorant and insensitive. Frankly, by the logic here, you can't ask a white person about it (because they have it) and you can't ask a black person about it without being racist. My way out of this is that if somebody brings up the topic, I'll ask them about it. Their race really doesn't concern me. Claiming "racism" is a very quick way to divert actual discussion by miring it with the unfortunately real and problematic issue of race relations.
More to the point though, the logic of point 4D is pretty flawed. It says, in essence, "if you're white, you're racist." Could the irony of such a statement be any clearer? Judging solely on race, the mental capacity of somebody is already presumed. This is the exact same logic used in the statement, "Blacks aren't smart enough to take care of themselves." This is the very definition of racism, in which qualities of a person are assumed based only on their race.
Of course, there is a very important phrase "partaking in your privilege" in there, too. Which means basically that so long as you understand your privilege and act sensibly (that's without discrimination and without insensitivity) you are not being racist. And with this I agree. That's a very important detail. However, further on, point 11 basically negates this detail and returns us to "white people are racist."
I accept your invitation to a debate in good faith of learning
