White Privilege - Educate Yourself

Read this list of 20 everyday examples of white privilege. People not subjected to certain discriminations have a harder time even seeing those biases others face. It's just a reality of how our brain works. But it's our responsibility to educate ourselves and become more aware. In the end, we all benefit from understanding this. When we lift each other up, everyone wins. It's not a binary thing where if one group gains more rights, another loses them. Especially in this case. If you believe that, then talk to people and researching to help you understand. Be more than "not racist". Be actively anti-racist. First step is to acknowledge your white privilege. Then learn how the world treats you differently than others. It doesn't mean your life wasn't hard or is still hard. It's understanding certain hardships don't occur to you simply because of the color of your skin. https://harpersbazaar.com.au/examples-of-white-privilege/

If you can understand why Nazi flags all over society and on your state flag would be terrorizing for Jewish people, then you can understand why Confederate flags have the same effect on Black Americans.

American slavery broke apart families in the cruelest of ways. Stole people from their land, their culture, their communities. American slavery did more than rape, torture, and enslaved human beings. American slavery erased history and heritage for so many black Americans today. So many can not trace their family history or heritage back past about 100 years if that because the paper trail they have to follow is similar to that of cattle at best. White Americans, rich and poor, benefited from record keeping for humans. That history and heritage is documented and needs no flag to remind us. The flag is a better reminder of the stolen history and heritage of African Americans.

Saving a symbol because it is the heritage and history of the Confederacy is a slap in the face to Americans who had their own robbed by those flying the Confederate flag.

Race whether by biological definition or by the sociological definition is another socially constructed view yet there is no denying that racism, prejudicial views, and bigotry still exists based on these differences. 

This can influence outcomes depending on location and the access to available resources that a higher established group within that society has. This is the case when it comes to racial and ethnic minorities despite the rapid population shift of ethnic minority groups and their rising to the majority group. The important thing to keep in mind is that race and ethnicity variables can change based on a “societies” definition and location, like in the case of the US Census. 

What we can’t however change is the biologically based definition of race, what we can do is be aware of how people are stigmatized and treated unfairly based on outdated ideologies and various social constructions of society that created a divide that is still felt present day. One of those ways we see this occur is racial inequality and the reasons African American’s can’t “get ahead”.

According to a Pew Research study, discrimination is seen as major reason blacks can’t get head, almost double that of whites beliefs as to why they can’t. Let’s break down some of the findings, shall we?

36% of whites shared the belief that the primary reason for lack of black progression was due to discrimination. When it came to factors of family instability and lack of good role models they numbers were pretty balanced between racial groups. Lack of motivation and hard work was another view considered but all races agreed it was at least a minor issue as to why blacks struggled to get ahead. 43% of blacks believed the lack of motivation was the cause and only 30% of whites felt it was lack of motivation. The school system and lack of a good quality school was another factor with a higher variance. Blacks at 75% and whites at 53% believing this is the main reason for being held back. These views amongst groups varied greatly by political beliefs and the education the respondent had. The education held by whites and seemed to change the outlook further. The more education whites had the less they held on to the belief that education was as big of a factor.

Individual racism verses Institutionalized perspective:

Overall most Americans agreed that individual racism was a bigger factor that of institutionalized racism at 66%. The African American group was split within a few percent on which factor was a bigger issue.40% believed it was due to institutionalized racism and the other 48% believed it was individual prejudice. 

Conclusion:

The most important take away is that 61% of American’s feel the country hasn’t done enough and needs to continue making changes to change the balance of inequality amongst racial groups.It’s a call to do better and act on behalf of everyone to lessen the divide felt here in the United States.

“I was gonna call it nigger, but called it ginger instead”

- old white Australian farmer in reference to his dog -

Good choice Dave.

We don’t want you shouting ‘get down nigger’ when it’s trying to steal food from your plate or ‘nigger sit’ when you gonna feed it!

Currently trying to complete my 88 days farm work and starting to realise that I’m gonna experience a lot of racism, everybody told me I would. This is just one of the many mad as fuck things I’ve heard 🙄👨🏼‍🌾
