Layla F. Saad Quote: “I have come to see white privilege as an invisible package of unearned assets that I can count on cashing in each day, but about which I was “meant” to remain oblivious. White privilege is like an invisible weightless knapsack of special provisions, assurances, tools, maps, guides, codebooks, passports, visas, clothes, compass, emergency gear, and blank checks.2 White privilege describes the unearned advantages that are granted because of one’s whiteness or ability to “pass” as white.”

Layla F. Saad Quote: “Lastly, color blindness is a way to avoid not only looking at other people’s races but looking at your own.

When you refuse to look at color, you refuse to look at yourself as a person with white privilege.”

Layla F. Saad Quote: “When drawing a picture of themselves and their friend who is a different color, they would choose the colors that best match the skin colors they see.

Saad Quote: “However, this idea that white supremacy only applies to the so-called “bad ones” is both incorrect and dangerous, because it reinforces the idea that white supremacy is an ideology that is only upheld by a fringe group of white people. White supremacy is far from fringe. In white-centered societies and communities, it is the dominant paradigm that forms the foundation from which norms, rules, and laws are created.”

How does thinking or feeling this way benefit me? Why do I feel this way? Why do I believe this? Why do I think this is true? Why do I hold on to these beliefs?”
