I don't know if we both know the answers. I'm shock by what some people disagree with me about... things which I see as obvious. I guess since you don't want to give me a straight answer I'll just assume that you acknowledge that our society and institutions were favorable towards white men for generations. There are valid arguments to be made that our system discriminated against people of color and against women as well as other groups. Since we are talking about white privilege I will focus on the racial aspects... The next question would be, when did our system stop discriminating against blacks and are there still elements that are discriminatory, what are the effects on current society from actions of the past?
There is a thing called critical race theory that is centered on these questions and focus's on studying our history, the racist elements, and the effects that they had on our society. There is much controversy and push back from the Right about exploring these things for some reason that I can not understand.
There are many that believe there are still elements of our system and society that favor whites over blacks, whether it be in the workplace, education system, criminal justice system, or the accumulation of generational wealth. All of these elements plus more are part of this discussion of white privilege.
This would have been much easier taking it one point at a time which is what I was trying to do by asking you simple questions. Now I just put it all out there in a novel and expect we will maybe address 10% of what I said. Perhaps next time you can just humor me and give straight answers to my questions. It will provide for a better conversation.
