i've read wise before but probably didn't pay enough attention. does he normally confuse racial privilege with male privilege and class privilege like this?

Here's the excerpt i read at jack and jill politics blog:

White privilege is being able to make fun of community organizers and the work they do–like, among other things, fight for the right of women to vote, or for civil rights, or the 8-hour workday, or an end to child labor–and people think you're being pithy and tough, but if you merely question the experience of a small town mayor and 18-month governor with no foreign policy expertise beyond a class she took in college–you're somehow being mean, or even sexist.
