Document Summary
Invisible: unseen: assets: something that provides benefits, unearned: don"t do anything to get the benefits, cashes in each day: often used, very impactful, obliviousness, life is a little (or a lot) easier. I can call the police and feel assured that they will try to assist me: pastor mccray; arrested after calling 911 because people were attacking him. Some privileges make me feel at home in the world. Others allow me to escape penalties or dangers that others suffer. Through some, i escape fear, insult, injury, or a sense of not being welcome, not being real. Some keep me from having to hide, to be in disguise, to feel sick or crazy, to negotiate each transaction from the position of being an outsider most keep me from having to be angry. Intersections: privileges (or lack of) intersect, e. g. , heterosexual, male, hispanic, disability.
