What exactly does this phrase mean? And more interestingly, why does it get applied to only the whites that are hated versus the whites that help push the dogma?
According to Jennifer Holladay’s bestseller, White Anti-Racist Activism: A Personal Roadmap, white privilege is
White skin privilege is not something that white people necessarily do, create or enjoy on purpose.
