Sis Irijah
In Response To: Re: Black Skin, White Masks ()

"but i for one, have never enjoyed white privelege in my site
that is an assumption on your part ras "

"if you put yourself in myself for just a minute you will see that i enjoyed no white privelege and that said whites hated me "

You say that you have not not enjoyed white supremacy and that 'i have never really lived amongst caucasion people 'If i am not mistaken u reside in the USA which is structured on white/light skin privelege. I'm not doubting that u may have faced some kind of hardship or oppresssion. But the reality of white privelege is that when u walk down the road etc, ppl would not know how many black ppl u knoworwho taught u about love, pain etc. There are automatic priveleges that u are entitled just on the basis of ur skin and often this becomes so normal and institutionalised that many take this for granted.
I do not think that a person can exist in the USA as a white person and escape the reality of white privelege. It takes a lot of work to come to terms with one's priveleges.
