White Like Me

White like me by Tim Wise is about how much white privilege is still prevalent today. He recounts his childhood by describing how he went to a primarily black kindergarden because his parent did not want him to be not as excepting. When he went to college at Tulane he wanted them to stop doing business with African countries that supported aprtide. People have asked I’m what he has done he says he has done nothing to help and appreciated his “white privilege.” People do not think about thre own group because you know that you are the majority being white has always been easy because they have not faced being treated badly like most blacks.
