Men are also unwilling to lessen or relinquish them. She, then, explains that must be the reason white people, regardless of gender, failed to acknowledge the inequality within their society. McIntosh often stated in the article that she was “taught not to recognize white privilege.” They were raised to become accustom to the invisible and unspoken rights they were born with that they become blind to the inequality. As I mentioned from the quote earlier, the white people failed to acknowledge their selective treatment that only them received from the society.
In result, it is difficult for them to see the struggles of non-white people. McIntosh acknowledges this fact and was able to isolate herself from the community in order to look closely at the gap between the white people and the non-white people. Her tone was very neutral, she was not trying to be in favor to neither groups. I also appreciate the fact that she mentioned how she would forget these inequalities if she did not record them down in writing. It shows that she actually performed an observation to to be able to perceive the actual problems in the community, not making up a fake information to support her claims. In addition, her struggle to memorize the white privilege also support her earlier statement about the white people's inability to distinguish the intangible
differences. However, it still bewildering me as to why McIntosh is writing this article. She did not offered any solution to the situation. Or did she feel the urge to point out the unspoken flaw in our society?
