After doing the readings, I enjoyed having to read about privilege and oppression. I feel like it gave me a better understanding of what both topics mean. I did have a good understanding beforehand but this gave me more information to take in. After watching the video I noticed that the white guy was the furthest ahead of everyone and I’m guessing this sort of proves that white men are really privileged. Whereas the black lady was far behind everyone. She proved a point that black women are really oppressed even in today’s society. Even though we may have the same rights some people are heavily disadvantaged in life.
I noticed that most people don’t realize that they’re privileged until someone who isn’t as privileged comes into their life. Others choose to ignore their privilege.
I guess I realized that I should be grateful that I have a financial advantage over most people. I think that’s the only thing I would really be grateful for since most people are still struggling financially and they’re struggling even more with inflation.
