In reply to the discussion: Many thanks to Rachel Maddow for proving the existence of white privilege (Bundy v. Ferguson) [View all]Liberal_Stalwart71
(20,450 posts)assigning blame to the white race. What she (I and many in this thread) is simply trying to get you to acknowledge is that you do not have to think about being treated different just based on your skin color. That skin color is assigned certain positive or negative characteristics is problematic. We do this in society whether you and AverageJoe90 admits this or not. White people are privileged because they never have to even think about negative behavioral characteristics assigned to the simply because they have white skin. They never have to think about being targeted or assumed to be doing something wrong simply because of their skin color. That is white skin privilege.
Now, if that is too difficult for you to grasp (or accept), I can't help you.
