No ... Whites who grow up in poor neighborhoods are just as "unprivileged" as minorities. And minorities who grow up in affluent neighborhoods are just as "privileged" as whites.
Note the word "privilege", though.
Nobody is entitled to success ... There is no Right to it.
Even people who grow up surrounded by affluence can be unsuccessful, even if they take advantage of all opportunities.
I think being white gives you some advantages that you don't see unless you're on the outside. But that applies to almost anything depending on the circumstances. Being male or female or old or young can be an advantage too.
If people quit playing the color card maybe, just maybe there would be some hope for this world! I grew up in Detroit, I listened to my bigoted parents classify people by race and or origin. Thank God it made me realize that no matter the color, or origin, they had one thing in common, they were all PEOPLE! As such, some were good, some, not so much! PRIVLIDGE to me means having a goal and attaining that goal through honesty, hard work, and having a good attitude toward others!
Yes, there are some who can live anywhere they choose in the world with no problems, even being affluent does not change the way people feel about you in their hearts. It is good that God sees what's in the heart of a person not their outside appearance. 1 Samuel 16:7
Depends on the "region" of this country. In MANY places south, there is still MUCH privilege granted to those of lighter skin tone.
It would certainly depend on who you asked the question. Their life's experience would dictate their answer as opposed to what has happened to millions of others.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for?
