People would assume that white privilege is an authority given to white people rather than colored people when it's a category to destruct racism and the problematic categories of racism

I don’t know but I think it’s all what you define as privilege because I know lots of white people who worked there whole lives for what they have.But if you define it as a sense of safety then that’s a whole new story because most black people in a prodomintly white city or country then they probably don’t feel safe.

White privilege isn't understand by some people as they believe themselves to have never been preveliaged as that was the person's norm. As they have never been discriminated, they don't recognize the benefits they have. White people are treated better from the past of racism and colonism, and as current countries in the "first world" with power are mostly white countries, class and power attributes to the unspoken class still present today.

White people were privileged more rights than others due to their race and skin colour, this is called "white privilege". People struggle with this term most likely because it has been that way for a long time and now that our society in some places is becoming more diverse it is harder for some of us to live this way. The fact needs to be accepted that times have changed and the fact that everyone deserves equal rights has already been established.

We have been so engrained with misinformation and centuries of policies which benefit the white community, it is hard for people to accept there are flaws in the system.

The concept of "white privilege" is an extremely racist and unintelligent concept that fuels the stupidity, ignorance, and idiocy of the identity politics that permeates modern western culture

I think some people might think well I didn’t grow up all that well and could have had say parents addicted to drugs however, that’s just privilege in general compared to white privilege, where you can get away with many things because of your colour and also get it much easier compared to anyone who is a different colour.

In my opinion, white people have gotten had a history of making bad things happen so that they could have better lives.White privilege should not be a thing, if anything I think coloured people back in the day should have had equal rights just as white people.

White privelage is the automatic advantage one is given by being born white in North America

 @9K9QJD8from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

White privilege is not something seen or felt, because it is how you live. People of color know it's real because they are the ones feeling the losses of it.
If you open your eyes and mind to others experiences, you can clearly feel and see it.

This concept does not exist. Whites are not the wealthiest, and do not own most of the institutions that harbor wealth and opportunities. Concepts such as 'white privilege' are used exclusively to employ policy that actively discriminates against whites.

 @9KFDV6Hfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

People who haven’t faced discrimination will not understand the inequality people face and how they are privileged
