What is “white privilege” and do you believe it still exists in the criminal justice system?


  1. What is “white privilege” and do you believe it still exists in the criminal justice system?
  2. If so, how do whites and non-whites experience being labeled a criminal differently?
  3. Why do you believe white privilege persists? Whom does it benefit most, and why?
  4. Finally, as noted in the text, African Americans and Latinos tend to have a more negative perception of police. In your opinion, is this warranted? Why or why not?

*Please note: this is a safe space where HONESTY and ALL OPINIONS are valued! Additionally, although disagreement is inevitable, please refrain from being judgmental, rude, and/or condescending. While we may not have the same opinion, we can each learn from one another. With that being said, I look forward to reading your thoughts…
