My American Culture: Tim Wise on White Privilege
Do you find that Whites still have the upper hand in society even though the Civil Rights movement has long passed and Blacks are supposed to be equal? What experiences have you had with a privileged person that made you think they really have no idea what life is like for those who have not? I encourage you to check out the video below where Tim Wise talks about the ways that white privilege was constructed to only give the average white person a perceived or relative leg-up over people of color but actually hurts everyone in the long run. Check out more of his work here.
