White Priviledge
In some cases, white privileges does exist.Some of the points that the author writing the article were true, and some of the points were an opinion. One that I know is true is, " I am never asked to speak for all people of my racial group." I never heard any white being ask to speak for all whites. I have heard of blacks speaking for all blacks though. One of the points that I thought was only his opinion was, "I can be pretty sure that my neighbors in such a location will be neutral or pleasant to me." This is false. There will always be someone in some neighborhood to dislike someone else. If their are blacks that dislike whites then there could be problems. Also there could simply be a white that dislike a white. Everyone on this Earth is not friendly.

I agree with the last point you brought up and I think the author was a little exaggerated when it came to a lot of the points brought up about white privilige. Anyone who thinks race issues are a thing of the past is wrong and there are still subtle signs of privilige existing today. I like that the author brings up white privilige, which is unpopular when describing race compared to minority struggles.
