Another simple but excellent way to understand what "white privilege' is.

70. How about outing the specific forms you know about?

OK, there used to be "redlining" by banks which kept certain property areas "white" by banks not loaning to people of "color" in those locations. Banks would loan to blacks to live in cities, but not suburbs, for example.

Then large cities had heavy minority populations and less of a tax base because of pay rate discrimination so less was available for schools creating the "need" for busing for example to balance the student distribution artificially.

In the suburbs every time low income housing is proposed it gets push back because "it will lower our property values" or some such nonsense to justify keeping their space "white".

NOT being pulled over for being black in the vicinity of a crime. I know that one.

Having the mistaken idea that bad police officers got kicked off the force for police brutality and/or killing without real cause just because the victim is black.

Not knowing how offensive certain statues or art/jewelry is.

Not being mistaken for a janitor because you are black at a large trade event. (I saw it happen once.)

What else? I don't think like an oppressor. I don't get it.

I don't WANT it really, but if it will help others NOT be oppressed, slap it down so it makes sense whenever I would see it in the wild.
