Sept 10-16 question no.2

2). Explain the concept "white men of privilege".  Do you agree with the concept?  Why or why not?
White men of privilege is when white persons have an advantage over others based on the fact that they are white. Those advantages can be categorized by class,education,social ties,power,wealth etc. Do I agree with the concept? Yes I agree that the concept exists, one example I can give is wealth, never once has African,Mexican,Asian, or any other race have made so much more money than whites do. Plain and simple white people are afforded more opportunities than others. Do I agree with the concept? No I do not. I wish that life and all aspects were on a level playing field, but that is more of a personal trip to fantasy land. Unfortunately we live in a dog eat dog world and when push comes to shove it comes it is always going to come down to have's and have not's.
