So this is something that has always struck me as something that should be accomplished but nigh impossible. The fact of the matter is that white people make up 70% of the US's population. Whether they know it or not (most likely do not), they benefit in all sorts of way from virtue of the fact of simply being white in America.
Now, let's say the concept of white privilege reaches the mainstream and somehow becomes widely accepted? Then what? How do you convince a group of people to willingly work towards, in this cutthroat capitalist society that becomes more and more competitive by the year, diminishing an advantage, a package of untold benefits, simply in the name of fairness? This is a problem I think about often but I've yet to come up with a solution to it. You know, beyond waiting for society to reach the point where automatization takes all of our jobs away from us.
