Blog #1: Privilege, Power, and Difference written by Johnson
Reflection: As the author notes, we are stuck in this “paralysis” of social structures that makes it hard to escape. Reflecting on this passage, I have learned that I have been blind to my privilege, because I am a white, Christian, woman who thinks that she is not privileged. . Johnson describes this as a paradoxical experience when you are privileged but do not feel privileged. I do not have to feel special to have access to privilege. My reference group would be white people. I tend to compare myself to other whites instead of African Americans.

I am also a white and dont feel priveledged, but have access to it and I am also becoming more aware of it.
