White Privilege ..... Who, me???

Handcuffing & arrest of a dying/dead Henry Nowak, 3 December 2025.

....white people are a "non-protected group" (Sussex Police, UK, 2026)

In the wake of the Henry Nowak murder in England on 3 December 2025, his horrific, inhumane treatment by the police at the scene, the trail for murder of his Sikh assailant Vickrum Digwa, and the release of bodycam footage, a lot of information has come to light regarding the mandatory training given to police officers across the country in regard to anti-racism. The outcome of that training is clear for the world to see in the way the police officers dealt with Henry when a charge of racism was levelled at him by his killer. One of the issues emphasised in that training is the concept of White Privilege. As the following guidance from one of the training courses reveals, this is what the police were told about the subject and how they were to address it.

Text: What is this work? This work is a 28-day, truth-telling journey to guide people with white privilege  to discover, examine, unpack and dismantle their inner white supremacy and their internalized racism. It is a workbook workbook that is based on a 28-day journey that I ran for free with thousands of participants on my Instagram page between June and July 2018. It is a one-of-a-kind resource for people with white privilege to do the internal personal work of anti-racism, and facilitate person and collective change to dismantle the oppressive system of white supremacy.

It is important to understand that this is deep, raw, challenging painful, gut-wrenching, heartbreaking and hard expanding work. It is a spiritual shadow work. It is work that is designed to get you to look at something you don't want to look at - the way white supremacy manifests within you. Not as an intellectual concept, a thought experiment or a thing to do because you are a 'good white person'. But something deeply personal and intimate. As the creator of this work, I have two clear  purposes for what I want this work to achieve.....

The present writer does not accept this premise, or the associated concept of white privilege. Of course white supremacy is real, and has been real for centuries, just as black, brown, yellow, blue, red etc. etc. etc. supremacy has existed throughout the world over time. If I live in an environment without white supremacy present as a core element of that society - and I do - then I can reject the claim that I am subject to white privilege. Neither is this to believe in racism; of course that exists as a natural fear of "the other". But, once again, that is not the same as white supremacy and white privilege. What of the Communist Party of China - is that a "yellow supremacy" with "yellow privilege". No. Why? Because this concept of white supremacy and white privilege are in themselves racist and only apply to so-called white races. It arises in part out of the post-colonial self-hatred promulgated by ideologues such as Marxists who are opposed to capitalism and therefore extend their hatred of that to general aspects of the West such as open and free democracy, the right to attain individual wealth and to be free in your choice of religion and political association. It is beyond the mere Left and Right classifications, and applies across the board. The present writer has never been a white supremacist and therefore does not need to accept or identify with the concept of white privilege. The present writer has struggled all his life to be the best he can, in every way, and self-loathing as an individual or part of a collective / race / country had not entered into everyday experience or thought.
