The cause that pushed them over the edge to begin the uprisings was the rise in the price of bread.

this world do not get to experience the privileges that the richest do. The average person does not get to live in a mansion, or on the beach, or even eat at the fanciest five star restaurants.

While we have gained many privileges for the general public, we also made our economy focused on growth as well as being strong and mixed. Alexander Hamilton would be happier about the current American Society because our economy promotes trade, national banking, and manufacturing, while continuing to promote a line of privilege in our educational system.

White privilege as I see it is an endowment bestowed to white people affording them unearned perks and benefits based solely on their ethnicity and race. Moreover, these perks and benefits are not a privilege yielded to minorities. For example: According to Peggy McIntosh (1988), there were privileges that that she enjoyed due to White privilege.
