Where does one begin when it comes to the concept of "white privilege"? Let me start with the word "ignorance". However, the word in and of itself has many synonyms all of which provide a new meaning of the word. Here are but a few:
- Unawareness
- Blindness
- Obliviousness
- Shallowness
- Unenlightened
- Unconscious
- Superficiality
- Half-knowledge
In addition to just plain ignorance, there is also culture which includes caste systems (reference Isabel Wilkerson's "Caste").
Subsequent posts will be recollections of events that at the time went seemingly unnoticed or acceptable, but now serve as "enlightenments" of how they fit into this overall theme.
