here is a question regarding my "white privilege",

[alarimer]

83. Talk about missing the point about privilege.

It is simply an acknowledgement that certain groups tend to have built-in advantages in life. That can come from being white, or being male, or being wealthy. Or all three at once. Do you not see that you will not be hassled by the police for walking around someplace? That you do not (generally) have to fear being killed by cops if they do stop you? If you are arrested for something, you will be given the benefit of the doubt in a way that black men, especially, are not.If you grew up in the suburbs, as I did, you are more than likely expected to go to college. And encouraged to do so. That is not true necessarily if you are from an underprivileged background.

It has nothing to do with what you might owe someone. It is not a literal payment. It is simply realizing that you have advantages that others may not have. It might not feel like you do, but you do.
