SOCRATiC SEMiNAR; WHiTE PRiViLEGES

I wasn't part of the inner circle, but I was part of the outter circle & the article that the inner circle were discussing was a very interesting article to me. I have never seen an article that had a list of what white people think their privilages in our society today. A lot of the list didn't seem to be 100% true because it didn't make sense where she(the author Peggy McIntosh) was getting these rules from. I did find out that even though this was written a while ago the author is still adding to the list. The article seemed to be kind of racist to when it's saying that white poeple can always find what they want when ever they want. Since people didn't seem to agree with this article in the inner circle I think that my opinion which was just because your white doesn't mean that everyone else who isn't should be trying to live up to become better("white"). Overall I learned so much from this seminar & even though I wasn't in the inner circle I wanted to talk so badly.
