Disappointing White Privilege Thread

[jtown1123]

I am hoping to find some sanity here. The post in the general discussion about White Privilege is completely disheartening for a community like DU. So many posters completely denied white privilege exists and even went as far to say that there is "racism" against white folks. I guess denying there is a dominant culture and that white people make up and dictate that culture is the reason why this happens.

I first read Peggy McIntosh's "Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" (http://academic.udayton.edu/williamrichards/Ethics%20essays/McIntosh,%20White%20Privilege.htm) in college and it seriously challenged me in a profound way. It opened my eyes to white privilege. I hope others will read this too.
