There was an experiment done with Monopoly where there were only two players. One player was designated the poor player and the other designated the rich player, this was simply determined by a coin flip. The richer player started the game with twice as much money, got to roll both dice (the poor player could only roll one die) and received twice as much money for passing Go as the poor player. So, they went around the board more times and received much more money. This experiment was to simulate privilege. This experiment was done with hundreds of players and here were some of the results as the game wore on:
1. The richer players became ruder and would utter obnoxious things to the poorer player.
2. The richer players would become louder. They would loudly tap their pieces on the board as they moved and spoke at higher volumes.
3. The richer players would openly display visual cues of dominance.
4. When asked why they thought they won, ALL of the richer players thought it was because they made sound decisions in the game. NONE .... NOT ONE of them attributed their winning the game to their privilege given at the start and ALL throughout the game.
The final analysis was that people would make ALL sorts of excuses to preserve and justify their privilege. This psychology explains SO MUCH of what is going on today. SO MUCH.
