"White men of privilege" is a term referring to the idea created to give the utmost advantages placed on people within a community. It's an idea originating from early American and European societies in history. The idea supporting a norm, experienced by the white community not based on race or ethic background but expectation of life they felt everyone in society should carry out.
This concept is founded on a norm designed by whites, not by whites and every other racial background. I do not know if I agree with it entirely... Every person creates their own standards of living and those standards can be completely the same or equally different. It does not make sense to follow a norm only created by one race. But the idea is something positive. A standard quality of life, living a life respectable to yourself and your community. People of many different backgrounds live in different areas, they experience different things, their quality of living may be better or worse than someone else's. I believe every person should value their life and others; along with respecting themselves, their surroundings and the overall human race. It should not matter what color your skin is or where your family is from. If we hold ourselves to high standards and respect each other, we can all live a life of privilege.
