These readings went well with what seems to be the theme of “oppression”. This time thou “oppression brought his friend “white privilege” with him to spice things up. I understood what they were trying to imply within the context of that video. there are various forms of privilege that apply to different people ethnically and also how they grew up. It had me intrigued i thought the message could have been executed a bit better but i understood what they were trying to accomplish. The Marilyn Frye had some good points in it as well camouflaged under the finger pointing and scolding of men being unable to rebuild themselves. I am starting to despise the word “oppressed” i feel like the people who are actually oppressed don’t even use it half as much as we do in the states. Even thou Peggy McIntosh poses questions that will make the average reader unaware of the level of racism that may be endured by people of color and i enjoy that . At the same time she seems to also carry an invisible knapsack of white guilt which i thought was annoying .

Hi Antione,
I agree with a lot of what you said, especially the invisible knapsack of white guilt, I thought the exact same thing. It was interesting regardless though.
