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.

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. Also, check out White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack on the National SEED Project website.
Despite stockpiling weapons all over the city and carrying a traitorous flag, the white folks protesting the removal of a Confederate statue all went home safely because they have white privilege. The one that was arrested were arrested because one ran over and killed a woman.

Despite blocking traffic and peacfully engaging their first amendment rights, #blacklivesmatter protesters were demonized in the media and, primarily, activists of color have been arrested.
Despite blocking traffic and peacfully engaging their first amendment rights, white women at the Women's March were praised for their civility because the women's march white activists have white privilege and the #blacklivesmatter protesters do not.

Despite being stoned and pulled over for having an out taillight in an open carry state, a white woman was sent home safely without a ticket because she has white privilege. Philando Castile, who is black, was shot dead for following the rules.

A a woke, rich Democrat's God given ( or so they think) right to be buffoonishly idiotic on national television and their scientific world view and not be fired for it ever.
People like dr Aruna Khilanani should lose their white privilege immediately even if they are non-white.

White people who underestimate how bad a problem is by default because they are never personally exposed to that problem. * It is not a personal attack or a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.
White guy: There's a K9 police cruiser. Let me look inside.
Black guy: Dude, get away from that car!!! Do you wanna be arrested?!?
White guy: Arrested?!? It's not illegal to look in a cop car.
Black guy: Don't worry about it, that's just your white privilege talking.
