"White like Me"

Today, in class we watched a video about "White Privilege." I found it interesting that the man that was speaking about this subject (which was white), kind of discredit himself and take himself off of the pedestal. The point of him doing that is because he wanted to undermine his "white privileges" and talk without any special consideration just because he is a white man. He also made a point if a black man was up there and repeated the same speech word by word, he would get barely half of the credit he deserves because he doesn't posses that white privilege. He also brought up on how he was not a very good student but the teachers kept giving him excuses and chances because of his "privileges" of being a white male. This lenient consideration was not the same for student of color if they weren't doing as well in school. Another interesting topic he brought up was when he realize every generation there was denial of white people. Meaning when racism was going on at the present time of every generation, a high percentage of whites denied that racism doesn't affect the minority population. But looking back towards the past generation they see racism taking several different forms.
