Answer by Baltimore Sun
I am not sure. Remember, blacks aren't low down and dirty enough to enslave an entire race just based on their skin color for 4 centuries and once that race has battled back in a five year long Civil War, legalize racial discrimination for an additional century then turn around and deny that they're racism is the cause of ghettoized whites while infesting the Internet with slurs and stereotypes. To exercise the privilege that is probably very possible, racism has to be a factor in the culture like it is with white people in America!

President Obama speaks at a campaign event in Manchester, N.H. on Thursday.
MANCHESTER, N.H.â€"President Barack Obama campaigned Thursday in Mitt Romney's backyard, offering voters a blistering criticism of his Republican rival just hours before the two candidates share a stageâ€"and a few laughsâ€"at a white-tie dinner benefiting the Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
Mr. Obama arrived in the Granite State with state polls showing his September lead eroding to a virtual tie. New Hampshire is in Mr. Romney's turf: It's next door to his home state of Massachusetts and he has a vacation home here on Lake Winnipesaukee. Mr. Obama won New Hampshire in 2008, but lost the state to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary that year.
The president, who appears invigorated after an assertive performance in Tuesday's debate, took aim at Mr. Romney almost immediately in his remarks and continued attacking for 30 minutes on every issue he addressedâ€"jobs, taxes, energy, education, foreign policy, the deficit. The aggressive, 30-minute stump speech offered a point-counterpoint contrast of the two candidates and little of the optimism that was a hallmark of Mr. Obama's campaign in 2008.
"Mitt Romney's trying to sell you a sketchy deal," Mr. Obama said of the Republican nominee's tax plan. "His definition of small businesses includes Donald Trump, includes hedge fund managers," he added, casting his opponent as wealthy and out-of-touch.
He repeatedly mocked Mr. Romney's economic plan. "Gov. Romney's got his sales pitch. He's been running around talking about his five-point, PowerPoint plan for the economy," Mr. Obama said. "What he's selling is not a five-point plan, it's really just a one-point plan: folks at the top get to play by a different set of rules than you do."
Noting that their third and final debate on Monday will focus on foreign policy, Mr. Obama said, "I'm very interested in seeing what Gov. Romney has to say about this" and raising his voice added: "Last week, he said we should still have troops in Iraq."
The president, who has been under pressure from supporters to show more fight, counts ending the war in Iraqâ€"a promise he made in 2008â€"as one of his top achievements. And after some criticism that he had dropped a line from his stump speech following the Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, Mr. Obama revived it on Thursday, declaring: "Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat."
Romney spokesman Ryan Williams said Mr. Obama's economic plan would hurt economic growth and said his speech in New Hampshire shows he "has no new ideas, no vision for the future, and is simply giving up."
"The president has promised trillions of dollars in new debt, higher taxes on middle-class families, and devastating cuts to Medicare that will impact today's seniors," Mr. Williams said in a statement. "His approach would let our economy sink into recession for the sake of pursuing job-killing tax increases."
Mr. Romney was in New York Thursday and had no public events scheduled before the Alfred E. Smith dinner, a benefit for the New York Archdiocese that has traditionally brought a brief cease-fire in the heat of a presidential campaign. Mr. Obama was also taping an appearance Thursday on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
At the Thursday dinner, the candidates will be seated between Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who has been at odds with the White House over Mr. Obama's decision earlier this year not to exempt all religious institutions from a provision in his health-care law requiring coverage of contraception. Cardinal Dolan, who came under criticism for inviting Mr. Obama, has defended the move, saying the event isn't partisan.
The event also coincides with a moment in the campaign when the candidates are battling over their positions on women's issues, including abortion and contraception.
The Obama campaign released a new ad Thursday accusing Mr. Romney of misleading voters about his position on abortion and showing clips of him saying he would be "delighted" to sign a bill outlawing abortion. Mr. Romney has shifted his rhetoric on abortion in recent weeks, saying there was no abortion legislation he would champion if elected then saying he would be an antiabortion president.
The president also framed his criticism of Mr. Romney's position on women's reproductive rights, including contraception, in distinctly local terms: He tied Mr. Romney to New Hampshire's state legislature, which earlier this year overrode Democratic Gov. John Lynch's veto of a bill that banned certain late-term abortions.
"You've got a state legislature up here that sometimes acts like it knows better than women when it comes to women's own health-care decisions," Mr. Obama said. "You know, my opponent's got the same approach."
Mr. Obama appealed to New Hampshire voters in another way he typically hasn't in other states. He was introduced by Gov. Lynch and appeared on stage with the Democrat. Usually the president is introduced by a supporter or volunteer, and he rarely shares his stage with elected officials on the 2012 campaign trail, a practice that has drawn criticism from some Democrats.
Mr. Obama has spent little time in New Hampshire compared with other swing states, and the Real Clear Politics polling average shows the president leading Mr. Romney by less than one percentage point. He last campaigned in the state in September after the Democratic National Convention.
Top Obama surrogates, too, are focusing heavily on other states, namely Iowa, Ohio, Virginia, Florida, Colorado and Nevada.
Bruce Springsteen hit the campaign trail for Mr. Obama Thursday, appearing with former President Bill Clinton in Ohio and then traveling solo in Iowa.
Mr. Romney will travel this week to Florida, where he will prepare for Monday's debate in Boca Raton. Mr. Obama is preparing for the debate at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland.
