In my readings i found lots of interest. Regarding White Privilege, i have always saw it as people that are white who have gotten things done for them or got to were they are do to word of mouth or family. Also that they have gotten away with everything in life, how they mistreat people how they speak harsh words to others not like them. Like they are the only ones entitled. I honestly think this will never disappear. Because of a failure to acknowledge and confront the white privilege. Oppression can happen to anyone it doesn’t matter who you are. I have never saw it as anything before because i never used the word. I can honestly say that i have a better understanding of the meaning of it today. Marilyn Frye has a good read on oppression. The way she used the analogy of the Bird cage to express the oppressed being treated in a cruel manner or due to racism, religion, gender skin color, nationality. The list can go on. The fact are that all these things still exist is repulsing to me and hard to fathom. It crazy that with all the knowledge in the world today you still have ignorant people who still feel they are entitled and can just do what ever to whom ever with out a care in the world that they think revolves around them. The video was just another of making people see the reality of it.
