SLATE: The Arrogant Heart Of Privilege: Black Players Ought To Protest Exclusively In Ways White Fans Approve Of.
One critical lesson is how some view free speech as a privilege conferred upon a lonely few. Trump’s backers claim that these players are pampered millionaires with no right to squawk; that they are disrespecting the military; that athletes, like talk show hosts, should stay in their lanes and restrict themselves to amusing us.
Most intriguingly, some have said that black players ought to protest exclusively in ways white football fans approve of. The author John Pavlovitz has explicitly named this latter critique “the arrogant heart of privilege.” As he put it, this defines that core of white privilege: “being the beneficiaries of systematic injustice, and then wanting to make the rules for the marginalized in how they should speak into that injustice.”
