Then, he tells everyone to take two steps forward if any of the statements he says apply to them. He says things like, "Take two steps forward ifyour parents are still married," "If you had access to a private education," and "If it wasnt because of your athletic ability that you dont have to pay for college."
"Take two steps forward if you never wondered where your next meal was gonna come from," the teacher continues. Plenty of people were close to the finish line at that point, and you can clearly see some in the back looking upset at their bad starting position for the race.

This isn't the only video attempting to explain white privilege to the masses right now. A new TikTok video created by dancer Allison Holker Boss titled "White privilege is real" is also going viral. In it, Allison, who is white, and her husband Stephen "tWitch" Boss, who is Black, each hold up 10 fingers while listening to Big Mammas "Check Your Privilege," which includes statements like, "Put a finger down if you have been stopped or detained by police for no valid reason" and "Put a finger down if you have been bullied solely because of your race."
At the end, Stephen has no fingers up, while nine of Allisons fingers are up. The statements continue, but Stephen still has no fingers left.
"This is so powerful. Thank you for posting this," one person wrote in the comments. "Im so sad watching this," another wrote.
