Here's an example from the NBA. San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said, "Because you were born white, you have advantages that are systemically, culturally, psychologically there. And they have been built up and cemented for hundreds of years. But many people can’t look at it. It’s too difficult. It can’t be something that is on their plate on a daily basis. People want to hold their position, people want the status quo, people don’t want to give that up. And until it’s given up, it’s not going to be fixed."
I agree with him. I've said for years that as a white male born in the US in the 20th century, I had more opportunity than 99+% of all the people who have ever lived.
But what specific changes does he want?
He talks about giving things up, but he apparently isn't giving up his job to a black man. So, what does he want?
