Is this white privelege really true or is it just media hyperbole? I don't know any better but I see a lot of black celebrities from the US in the media. Anyways the guys in the pics look exactly like the imagery I had for them in my head xD |
um...
i definetly believe in the privilege part. the US is very much capitalism and to be successful you have to buy an expensive college education and to get that you have to have parents with money to pay for the school, probably come from good high school which mean expensive private schools or living in an expensive neighboorhood that actually has a good public school, and with how competitive schools are these days also formulized extra curriculares like sports that aren't cheap either.
basically it is hard to get a high paying job if you parents don't have a high paying job to afford for you the things needed get you there. there is very little class mobility in america.
as far as the white thing goes,.. well whites profited off of black slaves. now refer back to my previous statement to which i said there is very little class mobility in america.
i don't think you have to be white in america to be privileged but from ages ago whites make up the top earners and blacks make up the bottom earners and things don't really change generation to generation.
so i believe in privilege and i believe whites makes up a higher precentage of the privileged class then the popluation break down would suggest a fair society should result in.
