Racism White Privilege In America

When white people call the police, in the majority of cases they are believed 100% of the time. When black people call the police they are questioned as though they are the suspects and not the victims.

Trump’s actual record, however, tells a very different story. On the campaign trail, Trump repeatedly made explicitly racist and otherwise bigoted remarks, from calling Mexican immigrants criminals and rapists, to proposing a ban on all Muslims entering the US, to suggesting a judge should recuse himself from a case solely because of the judge’s Mexican heritage. The trend has continued into his presidency. From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn’t stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election. Most recently, Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the “Chinese virus” and “Kung flu” — racist terms that tap into the kind of xenophobia that he latched onto during his 2016 presidential campaign; Trump’s own adviser, Kellyanne Conway, previously called “Kung flu” a “highly offensive” term. And Trump insinuated that Sen. Kamala Harris, who’s Black, “doesn’t meet the requirements” to run for vice president — a repeat of the birther conspiracy theory that he perpetuated about former President Barack Obama.

White privilege, or white skin privilege, is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. It is rooted economically, educationally, culturally historically as well as socially.

There is no true biological race; race is socially constructed. There were enormous economic interests in attempting to justify enslavement and colonization in the US. The longer white people avoid the discomfort of discussing racism, the longer non-whites suffer structural racism.

You might think posting about social issues does nothing, but here’s proof of how outrage over racism on social media has led to big companies and platforms realizing their roles in being part of the problem that POC face as minorities in the US. It’s amazing to see the conversations running about White privilege, representation, and inclusivity in media. We still have a long way to go, but here are some steps the entertainment industry has taken to realize their privilege and act accordingly.

These are a few examples of racist phrases that are still used today.,

• “Peanut Gallery” If second graders start to get chatty in their seats, the teacher might shout, “Quiet in the peanut gallery!” If someone is giving unsolicited advice in the comment section online or heckling in a theater, we might dismiss them as just complaints from the peanut gallery.
• “Grandfathered In” or “Grandfather Clause” If a longtime customer is “grandfathered in,” it means they’re exempt from any new (typically more stringent) requirements or fees a company establishes.
• “Gyp,” “Gypped,” “Jip” and “Jipped” When we feel shortchanged, cheated, or swindled, we might say we’re been “gypped” out of something. This one is racist because it’s tied to the term “gypsy,” an offensive term used to refer to the Romani people, who’ve long faced discrimination because of their darker skin and were even enslaved in some parts of Europe.
• “Uppity” If a Black school superintendent says something critical about a certain department’s
