Le racisme est un problème de blancs

Those who insist on fairness fail to recognise that the current state of play is far from fair. 

It’s easier to convince yourself that the past has no bearing on how we live today. But the Abolition of Slavery Act was introduced in the British Empire in 1833, less than two hundred years ago.

When white people pick up a magazine, scroll through the Internet, read a newspaper or switch on the TV, it is never rare or odd to see people who look like them impositions of power or exerting authority.

It’s truly a lifetime of self-censorship that people of colour have to live.

Who really wants to be alerted to a structural racism that benefits them at the expense of others?

When I talk about white privilege, I don’t mean that white people have it easy, that they’ve never struggled, or that they’ve never lived in poverty. But white privilege is the fact that if you’re white, your race will almost certainly positively impact your life’s trajectory in some way. And you probably won’t even notice it.
