#WhitePrivilege #SocialJustice #RaceInAmerica

I used to get genuinely offended when people said I had white privilege. I grew up poor. I was on my own at 18. So I get the reaction. But someone finally explained it in a way that made sense, and now I can't unsee it. The research is clear. It's not about what you have. It's about what you don't have to prove. #WhitePrivilege #AcademicDissent #SocialJustice #Sociology #RaceInAmerica #ELI5 McIntosh, P. (1989). "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack."
