Hi Umair this reminds me of a biblical story about the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:19-28.

Is it only me, but did anyone else think in this story that the rich man (who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day) was white and that Lazarus was not? Now nowhere in this passage does it say that the rich man’s brothers were also rich, but his privilege gave him the right to ask Father Abraham to send Lazarus (the person he still sees as less than him) to warn his brothers, even though there were already many authoritative voices telling them.

When you read this passage to the end, you will see a strong parallel to what we Black people and people of colour have been saying all along. When we tell white people of the crimes committed against us, not only have white people not believed us, they have denied the existence of their white privilege and enacted their white rage against us for even raising the issue.

We Black people and people of colour see and experience the subtlety of their white rage every day; and because they are white, they do not. Unless they are willing to be “woke” to the reality of personal, systemic and institutional racism, they will never see it; they will continue to use the excuse of “unconscious bias” and never change.

Here is an example, that occurred this time last year, of white rage and white privilege from Switzerland a nation where supposedly racism does not exist.
