White privilege, unknown to many, is by no means bashing the white race. It is simply a cultural phenomenon that is characteristic of a society where the white race is seen as normal and everyone else is the exception or different. This societal characteristic creates an environment where whites, compared to everyone else, experiences more cultural affirmations of one's own worth; overall greater social status; and freedom to move, buy, work, play, and speak freely. The effects can be seen in professional, educational, and personal contexts. In other words - The concept of white privilege also implies the right to assume the universality of one's own experiences, marking others as different or exceptional while perceiving oneself as normal.
Examples of White Privilege:
-Rhonda being reprimanded at her office job because she chose to wear her natural hair.
-Arlen having to go to the "African American" section of the hair supply store just to find a hair brush.
-Mark having to wait until Black History Month before anyone mentions the contributions black people have made.
-Nancy turning on the news and hearing the term black on black crime but never white on white crime.

A made up term used by SJW's to pretend that white people have some sort of unwritten advantage in the world, even though in America white men are the only group with no extra legal benefits. Every other minority group & women have laws on the books that give them advantages white men cannot attain.

The belief that white individual have a social or economic advantage as a consequence of their skin colour. Typically used when an individual who is not white, asserts that a white individual's success is not down to good choice but because of their race. People who are against this come in two forms, some individuals believe that white privilege does not exist and that it is racist to use this term. While others believe that while this term is not racist, it is used in the wrong context, as most of the time this term is used in the concreate instead of the abstract.
Non white individual : Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are only successful because they are white.
White individual: That's racist, and used in the incorrect context
Non white individual : Its not racist to point out a person's white privilege. You saying that is showing your white privilege

the everyday reality that white people are treated with respect & are trusted more than people of color (poc). White privilege means that white folks voices & opinions are heard more often than pocs. Turn on the news and count the faces! It means white folks are more likely to advance in their jobs than poc. If a white person's voice is silenced or they are held back in their job, it is most likely not due to their skin color, but it may be due to their prejudices. White privilege means white people's full humanity is on display in the media & poc are reduced to stereotypes. White privilege does not mean that a white person will never experience classism or sexism or be faced with any dehumanizing stereotype. It just means that a white person experiences those things differently than a poc. It is a recognition that despite all other parts of a white person's life, they are less likely to be arrested, incarcerated, or to receive cruel sentences than a poc. They are more able to display/threaten violence or engage in violent behavior against others & leave the situation ALIVE. A white person could be incarcerated or killed, but black kids, unlike white kids, have been killed for playing in a playground or walking down the street. If you are white & still don't think white privilege exists, ask yourself if you would rather have your exact same life & be black.
