The power of white privilege is something that, frankly, isn't talked about enough, but as a society, many people believe that racism doesn't exist not. However, there is this unspoken advantage that white people enjoy called privilege that gives them a leg up in society. Tim Wise talks about this in the video using specific examples to support his argument that white privilege is so prevalent and how others don't even recognize that it's a serious problem. A 2006 study showed that out of 100 white people surveyed, only 6% believed racial discrimination still existed in society. He also mentioned that two-thirds of white people who were alive during the civil rights movement thought that Martin Luther King did too much at the wrong time and that it just wasn't appropriate. I agree with Wise because as an African American I can attest to the fact that as a black man there is this invisible roadblock that one must cross to be considered in the same field than white people. As Wise explained having this one thing to transpire in society that can determine whether one will succeed or not. If you are a white student struggling in school, this becomes a big problem and help is immediately needed to resolve the problem, because you are said to have this potential regardless of your grade. But if you're an African-American man, it's different. To be talked about among these upper echelon students, you need to perform exceptionally well and sometimes even better than those around you or at the top. When you have to worry about race and overcome the barrier single-handedly, it can take a toll on you and sometimes even force you to show your full...... middle of paper ...... official login with someone in a specific field. I think this is a big problem because it makes it much harder for African Americans to succeed in society if they start from the bottom, with no help. The root of the problem is also education, as some of these black students only have the opportunity to attend these small public charter schools because some of their parents do not emphasize the importance of education. The reason for this is that their parents did not impose discipline in the classroom for some reason and this was something that was not instilled in the minds of young black students when they were children. While some black students actually understand that education is important, they usually discover it on their own, while almost all white students realize by kindergarten that education is the key to success..
