Future, Marcus Anderson Post 21

Will there be a new name for white privilege in the future? It was interesting to have that discussion on yesterday about it. There are two ways in which I am see things. One way is that yes society will find a better way to word this privilege into a better term that fits it. This is a possibility. The other way I am seeing it is that the white privilege as we know it now, might just be the privilege. Other factors rather than skin may be the driving forces that separate people of society. I believe as time continues to past there will come a time when the minorities wall outnumber the majority in society and that may cause conflict. I believe that one day if this is to come to past, people will not tolerate the privilege and rise up against it. I don't think the white privilege is something that will never change or is written law. I think that people are not fighting it to its best abilities. People talk about change but are fearful of making the actions to do so. Thoughts and actions are two different things and to make change, we must incorporate both for the effectiveness of the cause.
