That meme began in the 1960s??

Yup -- if it's subversive and divisive, it's Marxist clap-trap, isn't it? That it's gained THIS much traction these days though on the heels of the equally insane #BLM is obviously volatile and inviting CWII (so 0blah-blah hopes in time to declare Martial Law.)

“In 1965, drawing from that insight (DuBois), and inspired by the Civil Rights movement, Theodore W. Allen began a forty-year analysis of “white skin privilege”, “white race” privilege, and “white” privilege in a call he drafted for a “John Brown Commemoration Committee” that urged “White Americans who want government of the people” and “by the people” to “begin by first repudiating their white skin privileges”.[17] The pamphlet, “White Blindspot”, containing one essay by Allen and one by Noel Ignatin (Noel Ignatiev), published in the late 1960s, focused on the struggle against “white skin privilege” and significantly influenced the Students for a Democratic Society and sectors of the New Left. By June 15, 1969, the New York Times was reporting that the National Office of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was calling “for an all-out fight against ‘white skin privileges’”.[18] In 1974–1975 Allen extended his analysis to the colonial period with “Class Struggle and the Origin of Racial Slavery: The Invention of the White Race” in 1974/1975,[19] which ultimately grew into his two-volume “The Invention of the White Race” in 1994 and 1997.[20]”
