HAMITLON: Peggy, you bring up the next issue that I would like to talk about. White privilege seems to be an ongoing issue that white Americans need to understand and discuss. Can you all give your opinions into why this issue needs to be addressed and how?
McINTOSH: Yes, in my article, White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack, I name over 25 privileges that I have because I am white. I see my skin color as an advantage to anything I wanted to achieve. This advantage over other racial groups is called white privilege. I believe that this privilege could be identified by white Americans by first realizing that we have this privilege. By understand that we are set above others, we can see our advantage as a disadvantage towards others.
