Imagine if an American state had a law written explicitly banning anyone from your family from owning land or settling in that state and they wrote that into their state's bill of rights when the state was founded 150 years ago. They tried to kick a few members of your family out a couple times and it never quite stuck, but they kept the law on the books anyways. The state eventually gave in to pressure and repealed the laws outlawing your family in 1926, and about 15 years ago in 2002 a majority of the residents of the state finally voted to take the language outlawing your family out of the state's constitution....though 1/3 of the state did vote to keep the language in there (or at least didn't vote to remove it). Would you feel safe in such a place? Would you think you had an equal chance to succeed if you worked as hard as your neighbor?
If that sounds absurd to you, that's white privilege, and also one of many historical examples why the hurdles for black Americans don't always fully translate to other races or minorities within American society.
