The Buie Knife: 50 Examples of White Privilege in Daily Life Those who believe the U.S. has achieved a color-blind society, or that racism is no longer an issue in American society ought to read some of Peggy McIntosh's reflections on race. "White privilege" is often invisible, and often denied, but there is little doubt that it exists, she observed.
