In reply to the discussion: Many thanks to Rachel Maddow for proving the existence of white privilege (Bundy v. Ferguson) [View all]Half-Century Man
(5,279 posts)I do not think any one is blaming me for anything (other than poor grammar, run on sentences, and my penchant for personal anecdotal over verified evidence). Nor am I trying to deny the existence of White Privilege, it exists like a giant wart on the face of humanity. It's root go deep into the age of European Exploration/Colonialism, the Victorian Era, the Atlantic slave trade. You might be able to successfully argue the White Privilege is closely linked to the spread of Western Civilization itself.
My point is the label is of less importance than the issue.
No one should have to worry about being treated differently for any reason at all.
Not Hue of skin, not hues of eyes, not gender, not gender preference, not years spent circling the sun, Not how someone might personally feel about divinity, Nothing.
The problem is how do we positively effect change?
