Stephen V. Sundborg, president of Seattle University (WA) writes: I have come to view white privilege as the unconscious mindset and behavior of white people in America that favors our well-being, gives us the benefit of the doubt, and supports us disproportionately by education, economic opportunity, legal help and through our view of American history. As Michael Eric Dyson writes in the book “Tears We Cannot Stop: A Sermon to White America,” it is as if whites always enjoy a home-court advantage in all aspects of living. White privilege hurts blacks, but also hurts whites in our humanity.
