Senior Patriots for Peace

All Leisure World residents are invited to the next meeting of the Senior Patriots for Peace via Zoom on Tuesday, Aug. 18, from 2-3 p.m. This meeting will explore “White Privilege in America.”

White privilege is defined as the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, according to Wikipedia. It is different from white racism. White privilege is unintentional and hidden deep within the way Americans have been unconsciously rasied by parents and culture. It is seldom expressed in deliberate actions, according to scholars of the subject.

All people work hard for what they have. There is no free lunch for anyone. But when the chips are stacked in favor of one group over another, perhaps it is time for white people to explore why it seems as though they are generally more successful than most Blacks.
