White Privilege

          White Privilege is a term for the 'benefits' white people receive on a day to day basis versus the benefits not afforded to black people. These benefits range anywhere from the ability to buy nylons to if you go to prison or not. Most white people, me being a white middle class teen, rarely notice white privilege. And as much as it pains me to say this, but we tend to view it as the norm. White Privilege is can get pretty disgusting; according to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, African American woman are four times as likely to die during childbirth due to lack of access to prenatal care when compared to White woman. This shows how dangerous this racism can get, and yet people still don't even think about White Privilege. This needs to change. And as soon as more people take notice of this it will. I have faith in our fellow Americans. This change has to start in our children; we raise them on ideals that we learned from our fathers that they learned from their fathers, and as much as you don't want to believe it, some of their ideals spawned during a dark time for America. We need to seek out the most moral path and teach our children to follow it.
