post 2, what are the power privileges

This privileges are the ones we earn even unconsciously in the society we live in today. The best example is in race where white people get the most advantage in most fields, the best example is in job searching where even if two possible employees have the same quality one could get the job just for his "race". This happens because throughout the years white people have violently imposed on many cultures and have created a fake image of superiority. This left an impact that can even be felt today in small things like job searching. We can conclude the fake superiority image white people has had a massive impact on the entire world and is still felt today.

The "race" advantages have been decreasing over the years but even if they are minimised they can still be felt. Even though the perspective on other "races" like black have changed they still go from one extreme to another, in the movie the power of an illusion we see how people think black people are better athletes just for stereotypes and how it is believed white people are smarter and more likely to succeed. This shows that society went from one extreme to another from underestimating to overestimating different kind of "races". We learn that even things that happened many years ago still have an impact on todays society.
