GAHH!Examples of privilege might be:
I can walk around a department store without being followed;
I can come to meeting late and not have my lateness attributed to my race;
I am able to drive a car in any neighborhood without being perceived as being in the wrong place or looking for trouble;
I can turn on the television or look to the front page and see people of my ethnic and racial background represented;
I can take a job without having co-workers suspect that I got it because of my racial background;
I can send my 16-year old out with his new driver’s license and not have to give him a lesson how to respond if police stop him.
I am priviliged because most people of my color don't shoplift.
I am priviliged because most people of my color can arrive on time.
I am priviliged because most people of my color do not case homes for future robberies
I am priviliged because most people in America are also my color ( and what shows are they watching? What newspapers are they reading?)
I am priviliged because no special programs exist to promote me unfairly and without merit based solely on my skin color . (you have to love that one!)
I am priviliged because teenagers my color don't commonly engage in crime.
It sure seems a like a lot of my white privileges stem from belonging to a group that statistically likely to engage in certain behaviors and not in others. . Ah, but noticing that is "racist" isn't it?
Yes, yes it is , because it fails to
Dismantle internalized dominance and the belief in the racial superiority of self as a white person
Yeah. For some reason I think good behavior and habits matter, no matter the color. Damn racist am I.
