    White individuals, she asserts, might believe people of color live under a disadvantage in our society, but do not see themselves as privileged because of their whiteness. The author lists twenty-six ways she sees white people as having privileges that people of color do not enjoy. These differences range from white individuals able to shop without being followed or harassed, to people of color struggling to be accepted as “qualified” in their job if the position is an affirmative action one. She allows the word “privilege” is misleading, since when confronted with the term, most white people think of “privilege” as something like a favored state conferred by birth or luck. Ms .McIntosh…

    I personally can phantom how, as advanced people, we are still discriminated against one another over such thing like, color. Such claims as black people are always prone to steal, the have great basketball skills, they are illiterate, or white people have good credit, show how far backward we are as a society for such claims often represent one’s class, or living circumstance. But definitely not race! They are found in every individual, regardless of their race. Just like James Baldwin suggests in his reading, we have to travel and experience different culture in order not to be molded by our…

    1. What stood out to me most about the African American cultural group was reported suspicion of the medical community. I understand African Americans have higher death rates when compared to other ethnic groups because of socioeconomic factors, but it never occurred to me that some within the groups could have mistrust of the medical community. After reading the books information on the Tuskegee Syphilis study I can really see why mistrust can exists. One could only image the number of medical mistreatments African Americans have been victims of in the past few centuries, I think mistrust is entirely justifiable and even necessary given the amount of racism in the county.…

    In the eyes of many, “America is another name for opportunity, [where] our whole history appears like a last effort of divine providence on behalf of the human race.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson). Throughout American history, we have made a slow progression towards complete equality and liberation for the wide array of people inhabiting the country itself. We aren’t infamously known as the “land of opportunity” for nothing; we are recognized for having the resources that have allowed some of the most successful people in the world to climb to where they are at this moment. This country has countlessly demonstrated how it has allowed even the most disadvantaged to rise to their full potential, which makes living here a privilege in itself.…

As a result of their view of life in a meritocratic way, they are unable to acknowledge their own racial privilege and it results in their diminished support for affirmative action policies. Moreover, Phillips and Lowery hypothesized that claiming personal hardships help Whites from…
