I love it when white Dudes proclaim to know the cure for white privilege

184. And then it behooves white women,

of whom I am one, to recognize that black women have met much more resistance than white women. Black women face more entrenched stereotypes, and those stereotypes are different than the ones white women face. White women suffer street harassment because they are objectified and to be 'kept in check', but black women face street harassment on steroids because not only are they objectified, but they also have to contend with the institutional racism that teaches men that black women are, literally, objects to owned.

Some of us realize that that is what checking one's privilege means - to realize that certain characteristics about ourselves means that we have it easier than others with the minority characteristic. It means challenging others with the same privilege when they neglect or refuse to take into account the increased resistance faced by minority groups one does not belong to oneself. Unfortunately, many white feminists have had problems acknowledging the experiences of black women, but they are being challenged these days not only by black feminists and womanists, but also by white feminists that want to be allies to black feminists and womanists.

That is how different privileges play out in real time - we all have different privileges, some more than others. If the only privilege you lack is class, you really need to think before you dismiss others when they tell you about how they experience the world.

Bravenak, I know you already know all these things, so the 'you' is generic. This is less an answer to your post, and more a post that uses your post as a point of departure.
