ABSTRACT

White privilege is real. People of all races can share examples of how they have seen the advantage. Why do some people resist, reject, or deny the concept of white privilege? Discuss the process of exploring white privilege in conversation while maintaining a safe and collaborative environment and explore the difference between safe and collaborative environments for discussion and comfort level. If schools begin to actively combat white privilege, what has to be given up? This chapter discusses the ethical mandate of school counselors to act against privilege to allow positive opportunities for all students.
