Welcome fellow non-whites and people of colour and self-identified non-whites, this thread is for the discussion of institutionalized racism, systemic oppression, white privilege, colonization and post colonial segregation.


What is white privilege?

Simply put, white privilege is- having access to several perks or benefits in society only afforded to whites due to their skin colour, WP may not be easily visible or acknowledgeable by whites but rest assured it exists and has been out in place by whites to keep the people of colour down in society.

For centuries the pale devil has oppressed, subjugated and demeaned non-whites, claimed their history for their own and whitewashed history to project the otherwise failed white race as inferior to them. This ends NOW!

Examples of Privilege-
Being able to…
Assume that most of the people you or your children study in history classes and textbooks will be of the same race, gender, or sexual orientation as you are
Assume that your failures will not be attributed to your race, or your gender
Not have to think about your race, or your gender, or your sexual orientation, or disabilities, on a daily basis...
Being able to buy a bandage and assume that it will match the colour of your skin
Being able to buy a pair of "skin coloured" stockings and have them match to your own skin colour
Being able to assume "flesh" colour for crayons and pencils will automatically reflect your own skin colour

Whites need to work through the historical implications of ‘Whiteness’ and create for themselves an identity as whites committed to social change.

Questions for the day:
How do we raise awareness of white privilege among white communities?

How do we stop prejudiced whites from claiming that they "don't see race"

How do we destroy the foundations of institutionalised racism?
