Here's a clip from that videotalking about why we're afraid
to talk about privilege.
You might have more privilegethan me, and that's okay.
In fact, I think that might bea good thing.
I understand why we don't wannatalk about privilege.

(00:42):
Privilege creates guilt when wehave extravagance while others
don't have basic needs.
Privilege encouragesdefensiveness and entitlement
when we feel like we've earnedwhat others don't have.
Privilege invokes anger when wesee it used to harm or limit
opportunities for oneself or forothers.
These feelings only scratch thesurface of our emotions and the

(01:03):
historical impacts of privilege.
So, yes, privilege can be a badthing if left unchecked, but if
used effectively, it can beworld-changing for individuals
and for groups.
