The world should not pass judgment upon the Negro, and especially the Negro youth, too quickly or too harshly. The Negro boy has obstacles, discouragements, and temptations to battle with that are little known to those not situated as he is.

This is the entire embodiment of “white privilege” that most people - black and white - do not adequately understand. Class privilege (or underprivilege) is not individually specific, but *DOES* manifest itself on individuals. Much like a drought season results is a substandard crop overall but is manifested as inadequate resources for each plant individually.
