Accordingly, the accountability of whites for having developed and sustained such a system is
waved off. Nevertheless, White people have been using the invention of race, through policy and
legislation, to systematically benefit White people from as early as the colonial era. The white people
may refute and challenge these societal responsibilities frequently, though there always remains a
need for them to be vigilant to form the lens through which their privilege can be observed rather
than completely relying on the people of color to teach them. By continuing we’ll assume you’re on
board with our. None the less, we can never see them with any eyes except our own. One of the

Racisms worst development is the system of white privilege that aids the up keeping of the racial
status quo. Social Identity theory plays into the “us-against-them” mentality; it can affect group
culture and communication that can range from a small to even a global scale. The “us-against-them”
mentality recurs in each of these differences, showcasing the inherent feeling of separation between
people of different races, or even groups. Not even if you have your hands up, a lesson Antonio
Zambrano-Montes and Michael Brown (according to sixteen witnesses ) taught me. These views
range from an individual to an institutional level and reflecting a universal view of white dominance
and culture. Furthermore, through differing perspectives, the academic commentaries in each article
serve to highlight the fact that white privilege has underlined the development of socio-cultural
constructions in the American social framework; which in turn has significantly informed social
perceptions and racial stereotypes that need to be re-evaluated and addressed for effective social
integration going forward. He also constantly makes sure to include himself in the group benefiting
from privilege by using the word “we” and claiming he would not even be speaking on this issue if

whites within the American social construct. The two main distinctions seen in privilege are race and
gender. Although the Court did not use the term privilege, it recognized its existence in the form of

For example, Joseph and Hirshfield refer to the cultural taxation model introduced to non-white
faculty staff in universities and colleges and comment that: “literature on cultural taxation suggests
that faculty of colour often have more departmental and university obligations since they are
expected to teach the same load and achieve the same standards as their white peers while also
serving on diversity committees and advising students of colour” (Joseph and Hirshfield 123). As a
white woman, she drew an analogy from her frustrations with males who are taught not to recognize
their gender privilege. Their own self-image, how they believe what their place is in a group, what

ambiguity exists, the human mind makes its own assumptions, based on cues, categories, and

into a savagery only recently relinquished” (James 265). We need to acknowledge we all are all
recipients of privilege, but we also need to understand the degree of the privilege we have as well as

simultaneously dehumanizing victims of Color. There are several ways in which white privilege is

existing social and health inequalities (Public Health England, 2020). If you checked out the Jose

Curry, James’ arguments relates to the interrelationship between white privilege and white
supremacy, however whereas Curry’s focus has been on white privilege and white dominance within
the development of feminist theory; James’ discussion is similar to Wise and McIntosh in referring to
the impact of white privilege and WS on American society as a whole. However, in contrast to
James’ narrative, McIntosh focuses on her subjective experience as a beneficiary of white privilege to
