Privilege isn't the presence of perks and benefits. It's the absence of obstacles and barriers. That's a lot harder to notice. If you have a hard time recognizing your privileges, focus on what you don't have to go through. Let that fuel your empathy and action. ~ @mariejbeech Poetry Quotes, Words Quotes, Me Quotes, Sayings, Body Acceptance Quotes, Democratic Socialist, Sjw, Reproductive Rights

Privilege
When you debate a person about something that affects them more than it affects you, remember that it will take a much greater emotional toll on them than on you. For you it may feel like an academic exercise. For them, it feels like revealing their pain only to have you dismiss their experience and sometimes their humanity. The fact that you might remain more calm under these circumstances is a consequence of your privilege, not increased objectivity on your part. Stay humble.

Defensive Reactions "White privilege is not real...because I grew up poor, so I am not privileged...because I have had to work hard for what I have." Instead of taking the time to learn about white privilege, the knee-jerk reaction is to deny that it exists at all. White people take the term "white privilege" as a personal attack instead of attempting to use their white privilege in a positive way.
