I read a book called “why I’m no longer talking about race”, which it’s author, a very successful black female university graduate goes on to talk about white privilege and structural racism. Obviously this exists in all walks of life, but the author was a publisher for the daily telegraph, New York Times, Buzzfeed and one of seven prominent British women to be photographed for British Vogue. She comes across as an unjustified bitter person though. A phrase from the book talks about whites “unearned privilege”, as if all white people have unearned privilege, which craps over potential years of a white persons graft and efforts. I know many whites that have overcame addiction, family issues and strives for a better life for themselves and their family. A lot of these people championing this topic are contradictory. For example, this author complains that a certain panel in the UK only had 1 black person and that the other 9 were white (citing clear racism), yet conveniently forgetting that the demographic makeup of the UK is 80+% white or overlooking the black majority in the NBA and how most black players make far more in a month than their white managers make in a year
