getting rid of white male privilege?

White AntiRacist Activism:

A Personal
Roadmap by
Jennifer R.
Holladay, M.S.
(Crandall, Dostie
& Douglass
Books, Inc.,
2000)

The excerpt from this

document that is being cited
is essentially a
manifestation of the
privileges that are afforded
to Holladay, a white woman.
In the text, Holladay
includes interactions with
people of color who, for
instance, see her
complaining about one time
that she was profiled, and
remind her that some
people face these kinds of
discrimination everyday.
Holladay also defines and
lists examples of the
differences between white
privileges and white
perks. While some of the
things listed seem
mundane; they serve as
window into a reality that
anyone of color might face
in their life.

This type of information is

important because it acts as
almost a baseline for the
types of privileges and perks
that white people are granted.
Even in 2015 there are still
people who refute the idea of
white privilege. Often a
person is simply refusing to
acknowledge the
opportunities they are
afforded simply because of
their skin color, however it
still proves to be a
controversial subject. Having
a comprehensive list of
privileges and perks one race
receives over others helps to
back the truth of white
privilege.

This text was deemed useful

due to the tilted social
sphere that the nation is
currently in. Due to recent
incidences that involved
racial profiling and police
brutality; Trayvon Martin,
Freddie Gray, and Mike
Brown, there is clearly a
racially charged trend that is
being document. This trend
is racial discrimination.
Racial profiling and police
brutality have been harsh
realities for decades, but it
has not been until recent
years that it has found its
way into the headlines.

It felt necessary to mention

this type of discrimination
because the seriousness of
the matter. For if someone
cannot turn to the police for
protection; then who can they
turn to? What does this say
about our society and does it
play a role in furthering the
stereotypes of white officers
and black thugs?

Although it is not a scholarly

journal, this manifestation of what
this women views as male
privileges sheds light on different
aspects of certain opportunities that
men are afforded over women. This
means that she strays from the
black and white idea of the
have/have-not. She of course, many
of these are highly subjective
statements it still brings to light the
feeling of second class citizenship
that women might feel living in a
mans world.

This online journal is a perfect source

to understand one of the extremes
surrounding the idea of male
privilege. The passionate writing is
also an example of a first hand
account of an individual that has been
held back in life to due her gender.
This journal keeps helps keep in mind
that even though there is a large
portion of people that dispute the idea
of a privilege given to one gender
over the other.

Something that is often associated

with white male privilege is
something known as cis
privilege. It is the idea that peoples,
in this case looking at males, who
do not identify as gay, transgender,
queer, pan sexual have a privilege
attached to their sexual
identification. This is important to
keep in mind because it is not only
race and gender that the typical
John Doe profits off of, there is
also sexual identity.

At this point I am unsure how much I

want to focus on more aspects of
privilege/ discrimination. Meaning, I
am focusing on the idea of male
privilege, however I am not sure if I
want to dedicate as much time to
other aspects such as sexual
identification, race, or mental ability.
That being said, this is still important
to note that a man of these so called
