Hannah Reichenbach, white privelage & justice

This post is regarding our discussion about white privelage. I was one of the people who during class began to feel quite uncomfortable as the conversation went on, and found myself becoming quite upset actually. I felt as if my viewpoints and everything my parents had taught me was being crushed. My parents have always taught me to work hard in everything I do, and so I work hard in everything I do. My parents have worked hard their entire lives and I have seen how they manage their money appropriately, which got them to where they are today. They are still working to this day and I feel that telling my family, who studied and worked hard and taught their children appropriate values that they don't struggle is not exactly what I want to hear. Everyone has their struggles, and everyone has to work to get where they want to be. Doctors go through years of schooling to get where they are. There are only a select few people who get their lives handed to them, and I feel that every white person unless they are on food stamps gets grouped with those.
Next, justice was never really a subject I thought about before my sophomore year of high school. I took an AP Politics class revolving around the court system, generally. We learned about the working of the justice system but also the stereotyping of specific races and some sexual assult, which link to this class. I am interested to see what the rest of this class holds in reference to the justice system and social, racial and economic classes.
