The word currency has yet a third meaning from power and privilege.

You’re correct that I cannot quote DuBois, but I am familiar with him, his words, and his beliefs.

I believe that there are many white people who have privilege but may not have currency or power. . . Often related to gender.

I believe people have privilege who do not have power OR do not exercise power.

I don’t disagree; however, I will go one further: it is about POWER as much, if not more, than privilege. I suspect that behaviors that are more conscious are more about power while unconscious behaviors more about privilege.

Feel free to disagree! I’m enjoying the discussion.

Yes. Our government is broken. It is sooooo depressing and I don’t see how to “fix” it so that we have reasonable people making reasonable decisions for their constituents.

Yeah. What a joke.
