Imagine waking up each day to a world where your skin color grants you unearned advantages—better job prospects, safer neighborhoods, and a higher likelihood of being treated fairly. This is the reality of white privilege, and it’s not just a buzzword. Today, we’re diving deep into what it means when we say, 'White privilege is the quiet continuity of white supremacy.'

According to a Pew Research Center analysis, in 2015, Black men earned just 73% of what white men earned per hour, which is shockingly the same percentage as in 1980. Hispanic men fared even worse, making only 69%. Meanwhile, Asian men have the highest earnings, clocking in at 117% of white men's wages.
