David Sirota: All Roads Lead to White Privilege: "If I had to guess, the American Prospect wasn't consciously aware that it was doing this. But that's the whole point: White privilege in America today is so omniscient, so assumed, so embedded in everything, that it is even forwarded by some liberal voices as the answer to the very problems it creates. And the fact that so many of the liberal voices that inadvertently perpetuate these rhetorical parameters (particularly magazines, pundits and think tanks inside the cloistered Beltway) are catering to a mostly white privileged audience of elites means that they rarely - if ever - are called out for their contribution to an inherently racist paradigm."
