Weapons of Privilege

It seems to me that the term "weapons of privilege" is associated with white people. White people never went through the problems that black people did dealing with segregation. It used to be if you were white, you could get anything before someone who was black. When a white boss chose someone for a job, he would not necessarily look at how well you did things, but what race you were. Like Autumn said, white people have always felt superior to black people and Native Americans .
When the Europeans first came to America, they were more advanced than the Native Americans. They had guns and all the Native Americans had were bows, arrows and spears. They thought that their government was better and this helped them believe that they were superior to the Native Americans.
No one should be ashamed of their race. In class, we talked about how white people should take a stand and prvent their fellow whites from abusing and taking advantage of people who aren't the same race as them. No race should be considered superior to another just because they have a different skin color.
