America In Turmoil: How Racial, Economic, And Power Privilege Led Us To Social Unrest, by Anthony Pompiliano
3 Types of privilege in the US:
1. Racial
2. Economic
3. Power
To me, Power is the most interesting:
"Most people in the United States operate under the mirage of freedom. The wealthy and non-minority population will espouse the American ideals of free speech, democracy, and individual rights.
They will claim moral superiority over foreign nations that do not embody the ethos of the US Constitution.
But in practice, there are two realities in America ā one where people know that we do not have freedom from the government and another that falsely believes that freedom still exists.
Minority communities, especially black ones, fall under the first reality and everyone else is in the second.
Black families have seen the militarization of the police throughout their communities. There are constant patrols. Constant racial profiling. At any time, a police officer can stop you, question you, search you, punch and kick you, or arrest you.
To those in the second reality, this sounds absurd. They just donāt see it on a daily basis, so they find it hard to believe. Police officers have been granted more powers over time and they havenāt failed to apply that power privilege to do bad things."
