Do white liberals understand the white privilege they receive daily?

29. Yes, many of us are aware of it although

there are plenty who still, sadly, are not, and often because they've never had much reason to think about it. Being white in this society is like being a fish in water, with the water being white privilege. It's just always there and you don't have to think about it, which is why it's often so hard for so many whites to grasp the fact that real racism not only still exists but is still quite entrenched.

Being white and living on a South Dakota Indian reservation, I am very much reminded of my privilege, especially in a state as overtly racist as this one and that treats its reservations like they don't even exist, which is what I'm sure many of them wish.

OTOH, frankly I get a bit tired of hearing about it all the time and hearing about how everything is the fault of whites even though we have worked very hard against the blatant and overt racism and hate in this state, including in our jobs and including giving up other possibilities that would have put us in a better position.
