Answer to Question #332045 in Sociology for ali

Question

Does White Privilege really exist, explain? Do other racial groups have privileges as a result of their race, yes/no, explain? (Be sure to develop your argument - more than your opinion - evidence).  In the section of the article titled, Daily effects of White Privilege, Peggy McIntosh provides 50 statements of what she views as acts of privilege. You are to pick two of her statements and critique them for accuracy. Meaning is she overly critical of the idea of White privilege (race) or are these activities really privileges that can only be accessed by individuals defined as White? If she is overly critical, what does this suggest about the ways race informs our perceptions of reality, explain? If these are privileges that can only be accessed by individuals defined as White, what does this tell us about the power of race in society?
