Do u believe that White privilege actually exists ? 💡

For example. If an officer stops a person of color they are 3 times more likely to be harassed or shot by a cop. Or discriminated against. Or charged and given a higher life sentence for the same offense. You've seen how race has become an issue over the past few years especially in the US. Do you believe that white privilege exists.

I don't really understand the term.. but all the things you say are true; not opinion, not conjecture but fact, so something is clearly very wrong.

@Adaydreambeliever Its having a certain privilege or better treatment based on race.

@ZonussIt's a term I have heard a lot but never really understood exactly what it means and what it involves.. I am wondering though, whether it's not so much white privilege as that just plain old racism, which is not being acknowledged means that black people are still being mistreated.. SO not so much that anyone is privileged just that others are being targeted and treated badly.

@Adaydreambeliever Well I feel that if a White person benefits from a certain privilege not on their own choice or intent that does not make them a racist.
