Privilege Explained..

What is white privilege? In this powerful video, Jay Shetty uses the stories of three individuals to illustrate what white privilege looks like. While one man’s home burns, another sits comfortably in his safe neighborhood, while a friend of both wonders how to help and what she can do to be part of the solution.

Will you be part of the solution? Watch the full video for more of Jay’s insight on Black Lives Matter and how to start making a difference today.

“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

― Nelson Mandela, Long Walk to Freedom

Jay you're absolutely going to impact people with this video. Your heart is always in the right place and we all can appreciate that!

[PracticalInspiration]

Precisely the point! It's not meant to be "only black lives matter", more "black lives matter too", as do all lives.

It is not our differences that divide us. It is our inability to recognize, accept and celebrate those differences.

Sometimes the people around us just make us feel like their problems are more complicated than us.. They should just peak a little bit into other's problem and understand that everyone has their own problems and they are coping with them in their own way... If they are sharing, then let them share . It will give them a bit relief... Understand their problems and if you cant help them, then just console them, give them courage to fight it


It is necessary to understand, than making them stay quiet...☮

In order for there to be a great change for Unity and Love we must first learn and educate ourselves of the How's and Whys this happened in the first place and understand what has kept it in place for so long. Learn of the past, See the roots of the system, understand history and see it from a Consciousness perspective.

We are not this body black and white,
we are eternal soul with full of bliss.
When we realize who we truly are,
we can see there's a lot more to discover within and serve others
Through Love and Compassion from the core of the heart💕

Another great video. I've followed Jay for years. He helped inspire me to start my own channel on improvement. Hope one day I can reach and help out as many people as he does.

Update 6-4-2021: Growing up in the 1970's I remember a few, but not many, of my fellow students who thought they were better, richer, greater than their fellow students. If children ever again return to actual class rooms in America, it is very, very unlikely you will see a single American child who thinks he or she is better than any other child on the planet. Nothing can possible be more humbling to any child than knowing he or she is growing up in the only country in history that already has a 140 Trillion Dollar Federal Debt that is growing by a million dollars every 90 seconds.

Understanding and engaging in self-reflection and discussions about privilege is an essential step to addressing individual and systemic inequities in our society. And as a matter of total coincidence, I have just released a video on self-reflection only yesterday. We must be aware of and honest about our personal perspectives and how these may or may not contribute to biases that in turn may contribute, even unintentionally, to prejudice, inequity, isolation, poverty, and violence. Schools present an ideal context for helping to guide conversations and learning opportunities for students.

Privilege is having multiple national organizations promoting and protecting your race that's subsidized by federal tax dollars.

Privilege is having access to a national college fund that supports only your race.
Privilege is having a television network that supports only your race.

Privilege is the ability to go march against, and protest against anything that triggers you, without worrying about calling out off work and the consequences that accompany such act.

Privilege is having as many children as you want, regardless of your employment status, and be able to send them off to daycare or school you don’t pay for.

Privilege is being strongly favored for a job opening with a company even when personal qualifications are less than other applicants.

Privilege is having most of your life paid for by the people who HAVE TO DEAL WITH RISING TAXES AND COSTS!...you know, we so called “PRIVILEGED” ones who pay while you take from the system.

The correct view of White Privilege --

1. Blessed by Mother Nature

2. the ability to examine an undesirable situation and design a process or procedure to improve

it

3. the ability to work to implement the process or procedure to improve the undesirable

situation

4. the generosity to share the process or procedure with others if they are willing to implement

it

5. Hooray for White Privilege
