For those of you who "don't believe" in white privilege I call bull shit. You know it exists. You want to keep it that way you are enjoying the advantages.
For those of you waking up learning that white privilege exists because for some reason you never noticed before; ponder this for a moment. Having extra privilege in society is actually a hinderance to you and your future generations.
As others will surely have to work ten times harder to secure a better life, you and your future generation bask in the glory of doors opening for you easily. Over time though, this will surely change. Those people of color who would have worked ten times harder to get to where you can get to makes them actually stronger by experience. As their numbers increase with this strength they will surely have the ability to finally be the door openers of society. Who do you think they will open doors to, the people who would not open doors for them?
Not only that, but as a white person you would think you could live off your skills and strength alone. Who really wants to be in a position where it was given to you and you never know if you truly were the most talented deserving person for that position? It is good to struggle and get knocked down. Everyone needs to learn how to get back up. Yes life isn't fair, so buck up and stop hiding from how hard life can be. Embrace hardship. You will know the true feeling of life with that hardship and gain further respect for yourself and others. Food for thought.
