Hey you guys I know I'm late with this post but obviously as you guys seen in class my philosophy is better late than never. Lol. Any-who the readings we had last week were great picks. Because only white privilege was discussed in the readings (although that may over-shadow any other privilege) it left me wondering why. Or lead me to think about if there were any other races that experience privilege. When I thought about this I thought about the infamous light skin vs. dark skin battle among blacks.


After watching the video above it really made me think tons of things. If light skin African Americans receive privilege aren't they just as guilty as whit people or is this something they learned that just makes living better for them? Are they(light skinned A. Americans) oblivious like whites to their privilege? Just like race, gender, and class, privilege cannot be contained cause it seems just as complex.
