Some people see white privilege as either really good or terrible and it almost always determines how people make a first impression of another.

 @9KFBZVF  from Arizona  disagreed…1yr1Y

It’s hard to see that you’ve had an advantage your whole life when you still experience other human struggles. White privilege is hard for people who benefit from it to see it. You don’t realize what’s a privilege until it’s been taken away.

People of color have different perspectives and experiences of life. When you are a person of color you notice 'While Privilege' around you.

 @9KFT7VKDemocrat from South Carolina  agreed…1yr1Y

People of color and White people are held to different standards just based on skin color. White privilege is very prominent today and as a black man its clear as day.

I feel as a white person i get treated differently if i am certain areas with disrespect now a days.

 @9KCKHLQ from Virginia  disagreed…1yr1Y

Now of days but before black people never got the feeling of feeling like they belong so the only reason they feel like they get a sense of disrespect is because black people have been so wronged by white people that its a defense mecanism

I would say that White Privilege is a term that people use when they talk about someone who it White and gets out of situations that someone of a minority can't get out of.

I think some people struggle to understand this because they are used to it and they can´t see from their limited worldview.

 @9KFFTFP from California  answered…1yr1Y

white privilege comes from this theme america seems to go by: A man ( white) ruling or taking a leadership.

I think that people struggle to understand white privilege because they're so consumed in their own lives and think that everyone matters.

 @9K9FSP6Democrat from California  answered…1yr1Y

Yes. White privilege is a bias many people have that leads them to favor white people over others.

 @9K9DZKW from California  answered…1yr1Y

Some people struggle with the concept white privilege because they don't want to believe that people White people have it easier .I would explain it that white people live life on easy mode... while other people struggle because people are racist .
