I think it is very important to bring awareness to the different levels and types of privilege that one can experience in life. It is vital to highlight the differences in experiences and treatments one receives because this heavily impacts a person’s opinion and ideals which expands into friend groups and far down the line society as a whole. I find it surreal to be treated nicely when I physically appear to have a lighter complexion. My point is that those who are not oppressed or have never experienced oppression have lived gone through life from an advantage point of view. I remember this comedian talking about going on a date with what is considered to be a “golden retriever boy” – basically someone who is just happy and goofy and has no worries, but this particular “golden retriever boy” was white. She explained how she was on a date with him and asked “have you ever been through hardships”/ “have you ever experienced a tough time” and he responded by saying “hmm wow, things have actually been pretty good for me actually” and he proceeded to smile. Not that white people are exempt from trauma or hardships but most white men don’t necessarily experience it because the system is set up to be in their favor. Without stories being told and brought attention to those who have lived a privileged life will never be able to understand that their version of life isn’t the one that is freely lived/shared by others.
