This is sometimes hard for the beneficiaries to see. They don't think or feel as if anyone is giving them a break, their life is tough! And it's likely, they are not receiving any overt or specific advantages. But being White does have its advantages in America. The biggest one is 'The Benefit of the Doubt'. When White, all assumptions about you, on first sight, are generally neutral to positive, unless your overall appearance and demeanor scream otherwise. This is not so much for non-white appearing individuals, who often are adjudged in negative ways, or not extended goodwill as a natural right. This even happens between non-whites who will make assumptions about other non-whites. Or treat whites differently, as if they did not have to prove credibility as they are white! Watch how different groups are watched and treated in retail outlets. If you don't see this or understand it, you should take the time to watch for it. We have a serious set of issues to solve in this country. We need to work as one people, all treated equally, with courtesy, respect and goodwill. #whiteprivilege #racism #zerbonia #antiracism

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere - Martin Luther King Jr. Tolerating injustice anywhere can spread even to places where justice currently exists. Hence, it should not be tolerated anywhere. Want a consultation? Send us a message today at https://lnkd.in/dqfquwqc . . #allencranesolicitors #law #lawfirms

The transition from being an international human rights judge and President of the European Court of Human Rights to BigLaw Partner at Gibson Dunn has been an interesting and exhilarating journey over the past 11 months.

Justice is a universal value. However, due to demographic, cultural and other co-existing values that emerge on the basis of two sides, a usual value of justice usually a one-sided opinion only. When these one-sided opinions clashes, which justice as value must emerge in victorious? Supposedly the value of justice as endorsed by the society, as a whole, being generally accepted as just. Well, when society changes, the value of justice as generally accepted, universal value also change. But what if a universal accepted value on justice is clear, but still cannot be upheld as one?

It’s good to see renewed interest in constitutional reform.  The Civil Rights Act probably should be codified as a Constitutional Amendment.  And we need to bring our interest in civil liberties and privacy into the digital age with new Amendments. #ethics #government #AI #publicpolicy #civilliberties #civilrights
