Oh weird. My cousin wrote an article EXACTLY like this after the Michael Brown shootings. She and her husband moved to America like 8 years ago (he's a tax lawyer, they're filthy rich) and they had 2 biological children and then couldn't have any more because she was getting too old and IVF was continually failing, so they adopted a black baby.
So true. People who try to deny that white people have a basic privilege in regards to how they're treated in life are ignorant. If a black boy and a white boy, both from the same neighborhood, walked into a retail store at the same time, one of them will most likely be watch or followed more then the other. This has nothing to do with personal struggle, how educated they are, how much money they make, where they live, etc. This is based solely off of skin color.
And before someonel charging at me with stupid **** like " at the White people in here saying they aren't privileged", I'm NOT white.
This is not the point...
This is not meant to say there aren't white people who struggle. This is to exemplify the fact that an individual who is white has more chances of succeeding in life just because of the fact they are white. Once again this isn't to say there aren't any struggling white individuals in the US, this is an overall picture of current society.
Yeah its not natural, but what Dawn most likely meant is the fact that at least in the US, Whites have reaped the effects of a racism through the government (whether they know or not), hence why they experience privileges today.
