This series of reflections discusses the much-maligned notion of 'white privilege.' Is white privilege just a conversation-stopper, or is it a genuinely helpful model for understanding racial inequality and oppression? Is white privilege 'privilege from' or 'privilege to,' and what does that even mean anyway? And does white privilege manifest itself in commonly-expressed visions of history, e.g. the 'man of his time' fallacy?
