THESE ARE THE DIRECTIONS BUT I FOUND THE ANSWERS ON CHEGG WHAT I NEED YOU TO DO IS CHANGE THE WORDS AND MAKE IT UNLIKE THE ONE I GOT OFF CHEGG
1.According to Tim Wise’s research, being white in American society means having privilege and power due to the systemic and historical advantages that white people have had over other racial groups. White people have had access to better education, job opportunities, housing, and healthcare, and have not faced the same level of discrimination and prejudice as people of color.
2.Some of the historical structural advantages that have benefited white people include slavery, Jim Crow laws, and redlining. Slavery allowed white people to build wealth and power off the labor of Black people, while Jim Crow laws enforced segregation and limited opportunities for people of color. Redlining was a discriminatory housing policy that prevented people of color from buying homes in certain areas, which contributed to the racial wealth gap and segregation in neighborhoods. These policies continue to play a role in racial inequality today by creating generational wealth disparities and limiting access to opportunities for people of color.
3.Solutions to addressing racial inequality in our society include acknowledging and addressing systemic racism, investing in education and job training programs for people of color, implementing policies to address the racial wealth gap, reforming the criminal justice system, and promoting diversity and inclusion in all areas of society. It is also important for individuals to engage in anti-racist education and activism, and to challenge their own biases and privilege.
