So tell me about white privilege.

- [Alphonso] You're the majority.

You basically wrote the preamble, the constitution.

You were there from day one in the seats of power.

We were not there.

We were on the outside building those infrastructure to the seats of power.

We were in the fields.

We were ensuring that the crops were taken care of and brought to production at the timely manner.

We were nursing your children.

We were the driving, the Miss Daisy, so to speak.

We were on the outside, not even able to look through the window, the door.

not even able to look through the window, the door.

So, the privilege is that you didn't recognize anyone but yourself.

We were ignored, we were invisible.

So when the opportunities came, as you were accounted for, you were expected to move up that ladder into those particular seats and that was actually, the privilege was that it was there for you to, that chair, that empty chair was yours to sit in.

We made the chairs, we brought them in and allowed for you to sit down but the expectation was you are only looked at as three fifths of a human being, not even a human being.

as three fifths of a human being, not even a human being.

So you weren't there until the civil war and Abraham Lincoln freeing of the slaves but the language began to incite and rise.

and African Americans after reconstruction, after the Jim Crow laws, after the civil war, after the civil rights, more and more engagement, that it was beginning to have opportunities but still the privilege was that you have to wait, and it's always, you have to wait.

It's coming but you gotta wait your time.

My time, my time is now but it's not the focus of the majority of society.
