Power Privilege

Sadly, the power privilege has always been owned by the white people.  Racism towards black and asian people comes from a long time ago. White people have always been known as "superior". In the film The Power of Illusion we saw that race has mistakenly been defined by skin color. Black people have always been at the bottom of the caste system. I think this attributions that white people have taken are not correct.

White people see people with  other skin color as inferior to them. They believe being white gives them authority and superiority over the rest. In the film we can see that black people have always the worst economic conditions compared to white people. White people are ten times wealthier than black people. This is not something from the past, it is still seen today. White people are considered privileged based on their skin color and this is not fair.
