Man, I got to say, this was probably the most intense arguement/discussion we have ever had. Though at the same time it was quite interesting. I thought long and hard about what I could remember in that class, and I realized we did continually rationalize white privilege, and that is something that does need to be change, but I do still stand on the side that those who are not white can have white privilege, but it is really only through money. So I also agree with the idea that White Privilege may be changing into Green Privilege. I can easily name a couple cases where this is the case: R. Kelly, Kobe, Mike Vick, and James Brown (if anyone remembers his Joy Riding incident in the early 90s). Now this isn't so frequent that we can say it is definite but it is still fairly likely that adjustments are being made.
