Dear White Folks - great piece in Ebony

6. The white privileged class is NOT necessarily ALL white people.

It is just the rich white people that are given many of these privileges. Look how the Occupiers are treated. All occupiers are labeled as poor hippies by the media and can be safely attacked. Most of the Teabaggers are labeled as middle class by the media and they are never abused by the police, even when carrying weapons. True sometimes, poor white people are mistaken for rich white people and are inadvertently given some of these privileges, which rarely happens to people of color. But once their economic status is determined, the poor white person is treated very badly.

If you are a poor white person you can NOT count on justice, safety or liberty.

It is a very small minority of people who are given these privileges and they don't include people of color, poor people or non-christians.
