“…Public entertainment and news provided images, stereotypes, and narratives (storylines) of marginalized people to normalize racist animus and to help many Americans understand their role in legitimizing oppression and inequality (Black, 2003). In the meanwhile, White women and some persons of color seemed to have privileges (e.g., freedom of movement); however, in-depth reviews of these instances suggest that any privilege they enjoyed was only by way of living in specific spaces (e.g., free territory) or being closely allied with, or living in close physical proximity to, a free White man (Isenberg, 2016; McGoldrick, 2001).…”

“…While governmental institutions “counted” women, people who were poor, and communities of color, the police and various White-militia forces were tasked with physically curtailing and keeping members of these communities in specified spaces. Incarceration and actual and threatened physical violence (e.g., lynching) were used as forms of geographic control (McGoldrick, 2001; Omi & Winant, 2015). Surveilling, policing, and intervening to correct behaviors of White women and people of color were an expectation of White men and White masculinity (McGoldrick, 2001).…”

Counseling psychologists have studied privilege as an individual behavior, belief, and attitude related to an individual's privileged identity such as masculinity, Whiteness, or Christianity. Conceptualizing individual privileged identities in this way means that privileged identities may exist alongside marginalized intersectional identities. However, in this article, the author defines privilege as a multi-identity act that is facilitated and supported by institutions and organizations (e.g., banks, law enforcement, and schools). These institutions are defined as power-governors that regulate access to scaffolds of privilege afforded to the affluent and wealthy. The author posits that power-governors were created to support an ideology of White supremacy and to organize actors within the system to perpetuate and legitimize the status quo. The author describes the ways in which White wealthy men use privilege as a means to access and gain power while White men in lower-and working-classes use privilege to build relationships and legitimize inequality. The author also discusses the proxy privilege of White women and people of color and how this privilege is in fact restricted to specific physical spaces and is limited due to their overt marginalized identities. Recommendations for privilege research are provided. Public Significance StatementThe author describes the ways in which privilege is related to White supremacy and how it is used differentially among the White wealthy men as a means to access and gain power while White men in lower-and working-classes use privilege to build relationships and legitimize inequality. The author also discusses the different types of privilege for White women and people of color and how these privileges are limited by their overt marginalized identities and restricted to specific physical spaces.
