They may have difficulty accepting the existence of\n<\/div>\n<div>White privilege because it seems to deny that they worked hard\n<\/div>\n<div>for what they have. Working class White people in particular\n<\/div>\n<div>may have a hard time seeing how they are privileged because\n<\/div>\n<div>they are at the same time disadvantaged due to their\n<\/div>\n<div>socioeconomic status. They may resent that people of color\n<\/div>\n<div>benefit from affirmative action programs while they themselves\n<\/div>\n<div>struggle financially. Many White Americans would emphatically\n<\/div>\n<div>reject any suggestion that they are prejudiced, yet their\n<\/div>\n<div>prejudices emerge without them being aware that they are\n<\/div>\n<div>discriminating against anyone. Even if a White person\n<\/div>\n<div>recognizes the existence of racial inequality, it doesn\u2019t\n<\/div>\n<div>necessarily mean they will become antiracist. Due to the\n<\/div>\n<div>narrative of equal opportunity that they have internalized, they\n<\/div>\n<div>may believe that people of color are at fault for their\n<\/div>\n<div>disadvantages. Many of these mindsets either render systemic\n<\/div>\n<div>racism invisible to White people, or they allow it to be explained\n<\/div>\n<div>away. In either case, the status quo is maintained.\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If a White person does challenge the status\n<\/div>\n<div>quo, they will likely find themselves\n<\/div>\n<div>struggling with feelings of guilt and isolation.\n<\/div>\n<div>In Chapter 6, Tatum provides a number of\n<\/div>\n<div>excerpts from narratives written by White\n<\/div>\n<div>people, many of them her own students.\n<\/div>\n<div>These excerpts provide an intimate look into\n<\/div>\n<div>the discomfort they feel with being White,\n<\/div>\n<div>the pain of feeling alienated from their own\n<\/div>\n<div>families, and the empowerment they find\n<\/div>\n<div>when they are able to redefine their\n<\/div>\n<div>Whiteness in a positive way.\n<\/div>\n<div>Public Education in Newark &#8211; Week 15\n<\/div>\n<div>Part 3 Analysis, cont.\n<\/div>\n<div>While the challenge for Black\n<\/div>\n<div>Americans is to resist the negative\n<\/div>\n<div>messages about their group, the\n<\/div>\n<div>challenge for White Americans is to\n<\/div>\n<div>unlearn racism and resist the social\n<\/div>\n<div>pressure to simply ignore it.
