Reflections on Making Systems of Privilege Visible and A Dozen Demons
Systems of privilege exist in society in the workplace, at home and in families; and are based on three fundamental principles; identification, dominance and centeredness.it revolves around race and power and even sexual orientation (Wildman, and Davis, 1995). It is an advantage accorded to an individual that is not earned, is exclusive and socially conferred. For example, Society assumes that white people are law – abiding citizens and black people assume criminals. A policeman who must frisk people on a dangerous street is less likely to stop white people as they have an advantage that is perceived by the Policeman. The policeman perceives them as white before the advantage is given to them that they are not a criminal. However, the system of privilege does not guarantee the outcome of the policeman not stopping a white man as the white person could be a criminal.
Another example of systems of privilege is white privilege where white people hold more positions of power and dominance compared to black people. Barack Obama becoming the first black President was an exception to this rule. Society views white identification as the standard for human beings; which leads to whites having an earned advantage over other people of color. An example of this standard is a white male, heterosexual, Christian, educated in a high socio-economic class. If you do not fit into these standards, you become invisible. It also assumes that those without this standard become oppressed. According to Johnson (2013), the consequences of white privilege leads to patterns of oppression for people of color. Research indicates that eighty five percent of people who deal, buy or sell drugs are white whereas seventy five percent of people of color are in jails for drug crimes. The Criminal Justice system is to blame as drug crimes are overlooked because of white privilege.
Society needs to change this narrative by teaching people to resist isms such as racism, sexism, heterosexism, and many others. The story needs to change for people to live in a society that treats all human beings as equal.
