    Unpacking White Privilege_ The Quiet Continuity of White Supremacy
    Jan 8 2026
    Imagine waking up each day to a world where your skin color grants you unearned advantages—better job prospects, safer neighborhoods, and a higher likelihood of being treated fairly. This is the reality of white privilege, and it’s not just a buzzword. Today, we’re diving deep into what it means when we say, 'White privilege is the quiet continuity of white supremacy.'
    Let’s start by discussing a striking reality: racial wage disparities in the United States have barely budged in the last 35 years. According to a Pew Research Center analysis, in 2015, Black men earned just 73% of what white men earned per hour, which is shockingly the same percentage as in 1980. Hispanic men fared even worse, making only 69%. Meanwhile, Asian men have the highest earnings, clocking in at 117% of white men's wages.

  • Unpacking the Everyday Reality of White Privilege

    Unpacking the Everyday Reality of White Privilege
    Jan 8 2026
    Today, we’re tackling a topic that’s both thought-provoking and critical: the idea that white privilege is white supremacy in everyday clothes. It’s a phrase that might make you pause, but let’s unpack it together.First off, what exactly do we mean by white privilege? In simple terms, white privilege refers to the societal advantages that white individuals enjoy—advantages that are often taken for granted. It’s about how certain people can sashay through life without facing the same obstacles their non-white counterparts often encounter. Think of it as a hidden advantage that, because of the systemic nature of society, isn't always visible to those who benefit from it.

  • Understanding White Privilege_ The Daily Impact of Structural Racism

    Understanding White Privilege_ The Daily Impact of Structural Racism
    Jan 8 2026
    Today, we explore a thought-provoking statement: White privilege is simply white supremacy made ordinary. At first glance, this might seem like a dramatic claim, but as we peel back the layers, we’ll see how it relates to everyday life for many people in our society.
    So, what exactly does white privilege mean? The term was popularized by Peggy McIntosh in her groundbreaking essay from 1988, where she likened it to an invisible package of unearned assets. This invisible privilege, often unrecognized by those who possess it, encompasses a range of systemic advantages that make life easier for white individuals just by virtue of their skin color. And these advantages, some might argue, are deeply entrenched in the fabric of our society, especially in the United States.
