Hidden white wealth harms both black and white families, in opposite ways

Evidence

First, it leaves black families bewildered about their inability to achieve the financial security of their white peers. How can they create a better future for their children, they wonder, while I cannot? … Second, it causes white families who have benefited from significant tax-free family financial assistance to think of it as an insignificant factor in their success, which they go on to attribute only to hard work—not the luck of being born to white parents. — Dorothy A. Brown, The Whiteness of Wealth, 431
