Former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley said that he doesn’t believe white privilege exists during a discussion concerning the blowback over Steve Nash becoming the next head coach of the Brooklyn Nets.

“I don’t believe in white privilege, and I know that people will say, What are you talking about?’ The conversation of white privilege is a distraction that leaves racism and true power intact while you now attack it from social and other psychological measures, trying to pull on the emotions of white people. And try to guilt them into really trying to say that all of the things that they have inherited, all of the things that they have worked for, had some percentage of it to be based on their skin color.”
