Privilege is "not."

This was the assignment.

( This is my response. )

Standard disclaimer: This post is US-centric like whoa, and deliberately so.

Edited to add: "The Vitter Amendment" is not the same as the "Preservation of Marriage Amendment," although both sponsored by Vitter... It's just that one is referred to by his name and the other isn't.

Edited again: sanguinity has written an excellent post further describing what white privilege is, and sharing some of her own experiences with it.

Edit the third: Terrance breaks it down.
