Privilege

 Recently I watched the controversial video documentary 'White People'. It wasn't an attack on anyone, and it didn't really portray much of white people, but we did get to see how sensitive and active racism issues still are today. Near the end of the video, a white, young man was telling the filmmaker that he was hosting white privilege seminars. He claimed that they were healthy, and that it was important for men, white men, to know how they were privileged and what to do about it. I toyed mentally with the idea, but I felt like there was something intrinsically wrong with it. Indeed, I then watched another Lauren Southern video, this time about privilege.
