White Privilege

When reading the article over White Privilege I pretty much disagreed with the whole thing. While I could be very wrong, I don't see much White Privilege for Male Privilege in this day and age. I think race is definitely a thing of the past and is no longer looked down upon as it once was. You can look at our president now and that's proof enough that race isn't a huge issue  as it once was. I know there are many that still have race problems, but there are no shootings, bombings, and segregation's like there once were.  As far as in the work force, there are plenty of African American holding high ranked jobs. For example President Obama, and in the county where I'm from we have an African American mayor. So in my eyes I don't see race existing much today. I believe every one is equal and is also treated equally. In my opinion, I think ethnicity is looked down upon more today than race. People from Mexico or Iraq are looked down upon and not though as much of as people from the U.S..

As far as the Male Privilege goes, I believe that also does not exist either. The United States almost nominated a woman for President. I just think most people are very opposed to change and that's why males hold all the "big wig" jobs. You don't see  a woman being the President of the company or President of a University. I don't believe that women aren't qualified for the job, I just believe that since a male has always done it people want to keep it that way and avoid change.
