White Privilege?

In Tim Wise book White Like Me he talks about the topic of white privilege. I know in class we touched upon the topic of white privilege sometime ago in previous classes. The question proposed in class was what is white privilege? Many people ask this question. So, I'm going to explain what white privilege is. White privilege is a special advantage or benefit that a white person possesses. This term shows the obvious and less unspoken advantages that white people may not recognize. I would like to say that not all white people are racist, but all white people have white privilege.

         

 It is very important for people to define white privilege. Many people other than white deny the existence of the term white privilege. I believe the concept of denial is bias or prejudice itself, which makes it a form of racialism. Many people of color believe that white people enjoy there white privilege. Some white people believe that they don't have white privilege and it doesn't exist. In the book Wise talks about how he recognized his white privilege at a early age. In first grade he noticed that he possessed white privilege. Wise stated, "In very real sense, white racial privilege had empowered me to stand up for myself and for social justice more broadly." By Wise noticing his privilege as a kid, does this make you question do white people notice there privilege at a young age? If so, do they tend to ignore there knowledge of it?
