White Privilege Continued (Episode 18)

May 29, 2017 by David Meigs

James, David and Brad spend a week contemplating episode 17 on white privilege with Phil Butler and dive deeper. If privilege is invisible how do we put our finger on it? We talk about David's experience with the "Privilege Walk" activity in school, and how the act ignited a serious change in his world view of power dynamics in this country. Also what were we not taught in school about the history of race in this country? Who decided whether African Americans received property, jobs etc. and access to education?
