[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it's pretty apparent that all this focus on "privilege" in the last few years have only resulted in even more divisions. :roll: [/quote] Of course. Because white people are willing to accept that black people experience certain disadvantages in this country. We’ve been teaching this in schools for awhile now. What hasn’t been taught or discussed until somewhat more recently is that the corollary to disadvantage is privilege. Getting people to accept that they receive certain unearned advantages (if that term feels better than privilege) is a key part of dismantling the systemic injustice in this country. It’s a lot easier to accept that someone else has been unfairly disadvantaged than to admit you have consequently benefited from unfair advantage. [/quote]
