White Privilege means you are offered things just because you're born white, not things you earned, opportunities others may not have because they are not white:
You can turn on the TV or read the newspaper every day and see people of the white race widely represented.
You are told all your life about the Caucasians who made our national heritage & our civilization what it is today.
If a traffic cop pulls you over or if the IRS audits you, you're sure you haven't been singled out because you're white.
You can arrange to be in the company of people of your race most anytime and in most any place without having to deal with prejudice.
When you need to relocate, you can be pretty sure of renting or purchasing housing in any area, which you can afford and in which you want to live.
You can be pretty sure that your neighbors in that location of your choice will be neutral or pleasant to you.
You can go to most any restaurant and expect to be seated wherever you choose and be talked to and treated with the upmost respect by wait staff and servers.
You can go shopping in most any store at most any time, pretty well assured that you will not be followed or harassed by employees acting suspicious of you.
If you want to, you can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for anything you write that promotes your white cause.
Recognizing White Privilege doesn't mean you should feel guilt or shame because you’re white. It just means being aware that some people have to work much harder to experience the things you may take for granted (if they ever can experience them at all.)
There are other types of Privilege, such as:
Citizenship - Simply being born in this country affords you certain privileges non-citizens will never access.
Class - Being born into a financially stable family can help guarantee your health, happiness, safety, education, intelligence, and future opportunities.
Sex - By being born male, you can assume that you can walk through a parking garage without worrying you'll be raped.
Ability - By being born able bodied, you probably don't have to plan your life around handicap access, braille, or other special needs.
