Kyle Korver: All White People are Responsible for the Sins of Their Forefathers

Kyle Korver, a white NBA player with the Utah Jazz, took up white privilege in an essay published in The Players Tribune. Kover, who has a net worth of $30 million and plays in the NBA that’s “over 75 percent players of color,” describes how he’s privileged because he can opt-in or out of a conversation on race.
