Why do you think some people struggle to understand the concept of 'white privilege' and how would you explain it?

White privilege is how white people have more rights than black people, and some people struggle because it is a bit wrong.

In my experience, people who reject the idea of white privilege tend to be white people who feel like they got themselves where they are. They think the idea of having a leg up is ridiculous, because they don’t feel as though they had one. In reality, white privilege is much more insidious than that. These ideas of racial inequality are deeply rooted in our nations history and ancestors, so most people do not realize they are biased towards a particular group.
