Skin will always be skin. Marcus Anderson, Post 22
Reflecting on the discussions that we had last class, I have come to the conclusion that money does necessarily give any person white privilege. Why I say this is because when people see each other in society just by even passing by them I not have once heard a person say that they analyze a persons financial situation before they see their skin. I believe that an African American person can be a millionaire and still be identified as black. If he were to walk into public and no one knew of his wealth, he would be viewed as a black guy due to what people can only see is his black skin. There would be no more debates his political economic or social position within society. I due agree that money is a a factor in gaining the privilege but I don't think that just money alone is the soul factor to gaining white privilege.
