                                  The 3 privilege that stuck out to me the most was “light skin privilege” , “christian privilege” and white privilege checklist”. Each article stuck out to me in a different way. For example there was one that i agreed or , disagreed on , and one that i identify as. In the next privilege i will explain which article i agree on.

        I agree on “white privilege” because  they feel comfortable in every environment. They have good hearts & dont let anything stop them. This privilege shows how white people gain respect quicker then us colored people. For example walking into a store people won't look at u unsuspiciously. Then if you are colored today walking into a store they may think you came to rob them. Also it have to do with the impact that you give a person. It might not have been your intentions but that's how things were.

    My reaction on the “light skin privilege” was quite shocking. Hearing them say “light skins are more favorable than those with darker skin” It gave me the impression that your color doesn't really identify who you really are. Things could go way deeper than just being lightskin or darkskin. If you stuck on using it as who looks better then you would never see the bigger picture. What about people who are light skin but use the black and white filter for there pictures? Does that define them as looking better then lightskin? Or if a light skin person use a dark filter for their picture?

          Christian privilege explains that if your a christian you don't have to display that. People think that you don't have to fellowship at all times. For example there was a quote that states “i probably do not need to learn the religious or spiritual customs of others and i am likely not penalized”. In my opinion people are taking their religion as a joke. You would expect people to be more serious about their religion especially if they are christian. Things only seem to be taking serious when it's beneficial for them. Just because you are a christian don't stop things from happening to you. If it's going to happen then it's going to happen.

    In conclusion my experience with reading about the privileges was more than i expected to learn about. Things i learned about christian’s wasn't what i expected. It's different as to when you go to a  christian church.
