The idea that being born white carries with it any advantages in life is a steaming pile of horseshit. Your life is what you make of it.
It doesn't matter if you were born in the gutter or with a silver spoon in your mouth. Plenty of people born into poverty claw their way out of it. Plenty of people born with a silver spoon choose to climb into the gutter and wallow in it.
Color has nothing whatsoever to do with it. You choose your success or failure. The redneck in your video says we should take responsibility for a culture that favors white. Bullshit. Take responsibility for your own damned self. Simple as that.

I wouldn't expect you to see or even recognize them because over the span of your life, you just become accustomed to them.
