Remnants of the racist historical events, rules and laws described in Module 1 still exists today in the form of white privilege. Even though I, as a white person, did not and would never personally engage in any of the racist historical events described in the text and in the videos in this module, or agree with the rules and laws that, though partially corrected through the Civil Rights Act and other laws intended to reverse racial discrimination of earlier times, racism still persists in the form of the benefits I have received in my lifetime simply because I am white: easier access to better schools, easier access to loans and investment opportunities, more opportunity to live where I want to live, emotional ease and a sense of safety when walking down a street that many people of color feel they can never completely have, etc. We have come a long way since the blatant racism of earlier times, but there are still far too many incidents with racial undertones, such as the killing of innocent black persons, because of a race-based response by racist law enforcement officers or racist citizens taking the law into their own hands after totally misreading a situation. Things have changed for the better, but not nearly enough.
