This slide from an Air Force brief shows airmen what white privilege looks like

Personnel at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia were recently treated to a training brief which included a slide that instructed airmen to "take a moment and understand" several examples of white privilege, which broadly refers to the social, economic, and political circumstances that frequently benefit white Americans over other citizens of different races and ethnicities.

One slide in the training material noted how the news media often portrays white people much more sympathetically than people of color, especially in stories that deal with crime.

Air Force officials confirmed the authenticity of the slide, which was first made public on the unofficial Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page.
