This is for those who don't think there is any such thing as White Privlege

77. And it's much more pervasive than this...

Quite simply, and this is from an essay posted by Will Pitt:

My schooling gave me no training in seeing myself as an oppressor, as an unfairly advantaged person, or as a participant in a damaged culture. I was taught to see myself as an individual whose moral state depended on her individual moral will. My schooling followed the pattern my colleague Elizabeth Minnich has pointed out: whites are taught to think of their lives as morally neutral, normative, and average, and also ideal, so that when we work to benefit others, this is seen as work that will allow them to be more like us.

If we're going to live is a society where everyone is considered equal, then we can't insist that those who do not live up to the idealized design as people who are somewhat inferior.

Yes, we can all express dismay at outright acts of discrimination against minorities, women, non-heterosexuals… But those who are in positions of privilege need to understand is how that privilege is responsible for inflicting oppression on those who will never be like themselves.

The hardest thing for privileged people to understand is the fact that they are privileged. They are taught to ignore it. I describe it as sort of like a Matrix that pulls the wool over your eyes to make you think, as that privileged person, that you are the standard, the ideal that everyone else is forced to try to live up to.
