NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Vanderbilt University professor is making the argument that recent riots in Baltimore serve as evidence that white privilege is alive and well.

“The facts show white people acting routinely to harm, demean, and damage black and brown people,” Tony Brown, associate chair of sociology at Vanderbilt University, wrote in an op-ed for The Tennessean this week.

“The facts explain the lofty levels of frustration and despair among black and brown youth,” he wrote. “Evidence consists of protests and riots, such as what happened last night in Baltimore in response to the mysterious death of Freddie Gray while he was in police custody.

“Something is awry – people of color don’t protest and riot out of boredom. Martin Luther King, Jr. said that ‘a riot is the language of the unheard,’” Brown wrote.

Brown then laid out the “evidence” that whites are still racist and enjoy a special status in the United States that elevates them above blacks and affords them exceptional privileges not available to minorities.

Brown pointed to news reports about Sony executives exchanging racially insensitive emails about President Obama, and the controversy at an Oklahoma fraternity over a racially insensitive frat chant.

“Evidence consists of graphic videos showing the willful killings (assassinations?) of unarmed black men in non-felonious interactions with police officers,” Brown wrote.

He then presented a public service announcement for parents of students at the Oklahoma fraternity, which essentially blames them for not raising their children to consider the plight of minorities in all they do.

According to Brown:

Your child’s behavior is racist and it’s your fault (mostly).

You never intentionally read children’s books with main characters of color, but you raised Sarah to appreciate diversity.

You lived in a residentially segregated neighborhood, and thought that fact sent no implicit messages to Evan.

You chose to worship in a church or synagogue where Katey was surrounded by white people, and she understood that way of life to be normal.

You choose the best schools for Chase, but never considered the fact that those schools were racially homogenous.

You talked to Isabelle about poverty but implied that all poor people are black and it’s their own fault.

You let grandma say n***** at Thanksgiving in front of Elizabeth because grandma is old and doesn’t know any better.

You told a racially insensitive joke in front of Liam, condoning symbolic violence.

Brown contends that “the bottom line is that it’s everyday whites making everyday choices that lock in and protect white privilege,” while providing a link to a University of Michigan paper that delves into all of those amazing privileges.

Brown’s solution to the nation’s race problem, and pervasive white privilege that white’s don’t really acknowledge, is to take video of their interactions with authority and other aspects of daily life.

Amassing the videos in an archive will demonstrate to the world why white privilege is motivating blacks in Baltimore to burn and loot their own city, he alleges.

“Posting our videos, among other things, will confirm that race and racism still matter,” Brown wrote. “It will demonstrate that white privilege is real (and real in its consequences). It will provide evidence that black and brown people do not experience the everyday world in ways similar to whites.”
