White Privilege

ESPN's Stephen A. Smith says 'white privilege' helped Steve Nash land Brooklyn Nets coach job

NBA all-star and Hall of Famer has no coaching experience, host says

As reported by FOX NEWS

Smith began by prefacing that he was about to share the "toughest, toughest positions" he's ever taken and that while Nash has "no coaching experience," he's an "outlier" as a gifted player and mentor.

"Steve Nash is a sensational dude and if anybody deserves this opportunity absent the experience that obviously he has as a coach, it's him," Smith said. "Steve Nash is widely respected and loved by whole bunch of people in the NBA -- Black, White and beyond."

Smith congratulated Nash, and he said that his criticism was not about his ability as a player or who likes him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there's no way around it: This is white privilege," Smith declared. "This does not happen for a Black man. No experience on any level as a coach and you get the Brooklyn Nets j or ob?"

What is White Privilege?
White privilege (or white skin privilege) is the societal privilege that benefits white people over non-white people in some societies, particularly if they are otherwise under the same social, political, or economic circumstances. With roots in European colonialism, the Atlantic slave trade, and the growth of the Second British Empire after 1783, white privilege has developed in circumstances that have broadly sought to protect white racial privileges, various national citizenship's and other rights or special benefits...  SOURCE:  Wikipedia
