The thing that resonated with me was that if you are white you were born with privilege. I have always heard that phrase but never really understood it which was very naive of me! The fact that oppression is the opposite of privileged also stood out to me. All of the negativity that makes life difficult for people that fit into certain social groups can make them feel oppressed. Privileged people are usually the ones in high power roles. The CEO's of the world, which in turn gives them power over the oppressed group. "Privilege and oppression intersect — but they don’t negate one another" Being privileged doesn't mean that you will always have it easy but, I does mean that you will have it easier than someone that isn't privileged. It doesn't mean that you don't work hard for what you have but, it does mean that you didn't have to work as hard as someone that isn't privileged.
