A few things.
I find this notion of white privilege to be ridiculous. There are poor whites just as there are poor blacks. There are criminal whites just as there are criminal blacks.
Why the guilt trip because we don't have white kids in the neighborhood killing each other on our front lawns? Am I supposed to apologize I live in a lower income, predominantly hispanic area which doesn't have a lot of violence?
Maybe I read it wrong, but it seemed like the author tasked white people with fixing this problem. It's not something we can fix. Sorry, it's just not.
You could have thousands of whites lined up side by side, singing kumbaya together and have nothing change.
The reason is the change has to come from within the homes in the black community. Within their music and culture. The glorification of gangs and violence which comes from their own rappers and celebrities. The hatred for the police which is promoted by the same. (ex Ice Cube and NWA)
It's a cute article, but not worth the bandwidth being used, IMO.
