“White men of privilege” is a concept that can be interpreted in different ways. I myself see it as a way that minorities view the “white man” as having a cake walk through life. It is a crutch in which minorities use as an excuse for their shortcomings. Being a minority I have heard this term, in different variations, many times. Is there some validity to it? Sure there is. White Caucasian males may have a leg in the corporate world and other areas of our culture. This isn’t the case as much as in the past 50 years, but it is still an issue in today’s world. In the world I have viewed this has never really been the case. Obviously we all have experienced different things in our lives, but I have never truly witnessed a white guy getting something over a black, Hispanic, Asian or any other ethnicity. I feel that this is a way for lazy people to justify them not getting what they want. It is my experience that has taught me that if you want something you have to earn it. May u have to work harder to get it than a white person? Maybe. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to stop trying.
