Whilst you are correct in the narrow confines of your statement and I actually agree with you but there is an assumption that let’s say “poor white folk” can actually understand this ,say that to Johnny when he’s struggling to put food on the table pay rent and work two jobs , It’s the widespread misuse of the term white privilege in Ireland is a big factor in causing division and in actual fact is a manifestation of contempt for working people by those who should know better as they are educated and hold positions of influence ,let alone the perma-angry cohort of the everyone gets a medal generation ,(blue hair ,Birkenstocks ) I question whether these people truly understand how they are undermining our quest to eradicate racism ,how their entitlement ,rage and indeed self loathing is fueling the right in this country ,they are as much an enemy of a progressive society as the counter movement they have helped spawn will become , No friends of a just Ireland either of them and unfortunately we are watching the pendulum swing,as old as the bible .
