Document Summary

Privilege its something that is hard to talk about/admit. It means that there are ppl below us. Different types of privilege: being athletic, rich, gender, race Privilege: an undeserved special advantage granted or enjoyed by an individual. Such an advantage or right held as a prerogative of status or rank, and exercised to the exclusion or detriment of others. We can always look at our views and ideas and change them. Acknowledge your privilege or the privileges you don"t have. Ultimate white privilege: the privilege to acknowledge that you have unearned privilege but ignore what it means. Being white is a privilege unless u are a white woman or poor. Being a man is a privilege unless u are poor and in an under developed country. The story is truer than the truth.
