I'd cite Maslow's heierchy.

If your homeless and white in America the advantages of your white privilege mean fucking shit because you are hungry and seriously worried about surviving the winter cold and possibly managing your addiction.

nayrt but absolutely. Sure. I agree. There's lots of ways you can be fucked over and screwed and in an awful position. But it's still something that we can talk about on a broad scale, something that's meaningful in a systemic sense.

No, I'd argue we still have the advantages, they just mean *less*, lol. Like, okay, as a single mom who is broke as shit, I sometimes get some general slut-shaming and some well-meaning money "advice" like "why don't you [insert option that is not actually an option]". But most of the time, people assume I was married and am now divorced, not that I was never married. They assume the state of poverty is just the economy, etc. (which it is, but most people of color don't get this). Etc. etc.

And all this stuff can, actually, translate to resources. I get noticeably better help at the Dept of Labor and the DFCS office. I have worked a lot of shitty, low wage jobs, but I sincerely doubt I've ever *not* been hired for being white (while I have watched an employer toss out applications after black applicants left, and a friend of mine was explicitly told to toss out resumes herself). So being homeless is terrible no matter what, but I still don't think it wipes out the benefits of white privilege.

And if that homeless white person ever manages to shower at the gym, wash their clothes with spare change, and then pass through a nice store, the cashier will still call the cops on the black guy who actually demonstrates he has money to spend (http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/barneys-accused-stealing-black-teen-article-1.1493101). Because you don't lose race privilege by being poor.
