University President: All White People Are Racist
White folks benefit from "significant unearned privilege"
Image Credits: CSULBJane Close Conoley, the president of one of the largest public universities in the United States, believes white people are inherently racist and born with “significant unearned privilege.”
On December 5, Conoley, who is white, wrote for the California State University at Long Beach website:
Light skin color and high-income levels may attract significant unearned privilege. This privilege can manifest itself in numerous ways that afford automatic trust, deference, and security. Those who are less affluent with darker skin or from other cultures can be targets of micro to macro aggressions, distrust, and low expectations for behavior.
