1. To answer that

There are some reactionary elements of white America that is afraid of being treated like black America, because they're afraid of retaliation (real or imagined) for all decades and centuries of mistreatment of blacks and other minorities. This is one of the reasons why GOP and Trump supporters exist.

2. That's more about protecting WP

aka White Privilege

3. One of the side effects of privilege

is that people don't even realize that they have it.

For anyone who has not already read it, Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack is an eye-opener.

4. Chris Rock said in one of his skits....

"Look, it's great to be white in America. Look, no white person in this room would trade places with me. And I'm rich! There's a one legged white janitor in the back going, "Nah, I'm just gonna ride this white thing out. See where it takes me." Because when you're white the sky's the limit, when you're black the limit is the sky!"

Famous for the "blue eyes - brown eyes" exercise.

If you haven't seen the documentary, The Eye of the Storm, I highly recommend it.
