This could explain it - she is a licensed professional clinical counselor.

Couldn't agree more, Major.

SSG Robert Webster - So do you think her experience as a licensed professional clinical counselor makes her assessment correct that only people in a position of power over others can be racist? When it comes to racial privilege in a society, that fits her argument since racial privilege is tied to the racial majority in positions of power. But to say only White Americans can be racist in our environment on the same premise is incorrect. I'd challenge her to explain the racism we see within Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American communities towards each other and White America. Her message is distorted and inaccurate.

MAJ James Woods - Thank you for the question.
No, I do not think that her experience as a clinical counselor makes her assessment correct. I was just pointing out that she may believe that she is correct in her assessment because she is a licensed professional clinical counselor. I think that her experience as a LGBTQ activist colors her perception as a whole, not just in the area of racial privilege but in other areas of contention as well.
I believe that you are quite correct that she has a distorted view of the subject matter at hand.
