Why do you think some people struggle to understand the concept of 'white privilege' and how would you explain it?
@9KHLLPB2mos2MO
I think people don't realize that white privilege doesn't exist anymore. It existed back in the day but in this day and age they need to realize that we all suffer and go through things it's not related to race at all.

Racism is not just an interpersonal issue, but a structural one. Black people are more likely to face housing, employment, and healthcare discrimination on basis of race. Institutions like redlining have directly impacted the livelihoods of Black Americans across the country, the effects of which will likely prevail for decades to come. White people are, to most upon first impression, inherently more innocent, intelligent, trustworthy, or non-threatening than Black people, purely based on preconceived notions. In many cases, racism is entirely subconscious. This doesn't mean that it's not there, however.
