Is it productive to repeatedly remind white people of how privileged they are?

[El_Johns]

67. +1. Here's what the guy who coined the term wrote:

The white-skin privileges of the masses of the white workers do not
permit them nor their children to escape into the ranks of the propertied
classes. In the South, where the white-skin privilege has always been most
emphasized and formal, the white workers have fared worse than white
workers in the rest of the country.

The white-skin privilege for the mass is
the trustee’s privilege, not release from jail, merely freedom of movement
within it and a diet more nearly adequate. It is not that the ordinary white
worker gets more than he must have to support himself and his family, but
that the black worker gets less than the white worker. The result is that by
thus inducing, reinforcing and perpetuating racist attitudes on the part of
the white workers, the present-day power-masters get the political support
of the rank-and-file of the white workers in critical situations, and without
having to share with them their super profits in the slightest measure...
