Why is a lack of unearned tangible assets to those identified as white fostering people's hatred of black people more overall?
Well, to be clear, by fostering, I mean enabling/encouraging, not causing. I think without the "social/image protection" afforded by white privilege, it's easier to be judged in a negative light for relatively trivial faults. People look down on you and, therefore, will take a shot at you if you mess up in any way. Hence, the disproportionate killings of black people (and other racial groups) by the police, and the racial disparities when it comes to imprisonment rates due to nonviolent crimes.
