Just the African women and the black male in the group are the ones that couldn’t make it forwards showing how society holds so much privilege that it is hard to get rid of. Privilege is a bunch of rights and advantages given to certain people by choice. What I mean by choice is that society will give you a right based on your race, skin color, and the area you came from. For example, In America, people will literally judge you based on your zip code. If you are coming from a white people area, you will probably get what you need. But If your zip code belongs to black people are, for example, you will get special treatment. It is a very sad truth that I wish we can wake up one day without these thoughts in our head. It seems like no matter how hard the black community tries to involved and engage in society, people of power will have new plans for them. I found privilege and racism are two terms that are very related to each other. When I think about white privilege, I automatically think about racism. In my opinion, parents play a huge role in this case because I’ve had a lot of white friends whose parents used to tell them to not worry about the future because they are from a white family. Meaning that if you are from a white family, you won’t find difficulties finding a job or getting into a good school. This is exactly why racism doesn’t want to end yet because the new generation also is so entitled to the “special advantage” they have in life. It should no such a thing as a preference or white privilege. People must treat equally no matter their race. The race won’t ever identify their kindness, maturity, or knowledge.

Oppression is a group of benefits and discrimination given by people of power. Reality is a big example of oppression. Let’s take for example gender, each gender has its own kind of oppression. Girls must look feminine and boys should look masculine. Women should show more emotions and cry every time they get the chance to, but men on the other hand must show 0 feelings because ” people will think that they have weak personalities”. I have always been pressed to be that stay homegirl that has no right to go out or discover the world. It was obviously not fair and I blame my culture for that. I feel like this word of oppression doesn’t deserve to be said because of how bad it makes us feel like women. We grew up thinking that we can’t do everything men can do, and it turned out that we were wrong all this time.
