概要

Let’s dive into the historical landscape that gave rise to the concept of white privilege, a term that has become essential in our discussions about race and inequality today. The roots of this notion stretch back to the 1930s when W.E.B. Du Bois, a prominent African American sociologist, introduced what he called the "psychological wage." He argued that poor white laborers were granted a sense of superiority over their Black counterparts, despite facing similar economic struggles. This superiority wasn’t based on real wealth or success, but a psychological comfort that came from their race. It provided a social cushion that allowed them to feel better about their own hardships by looking down on others, thus laying early groundwork for what we now call white privilege.
