New Orleans Pelicans coach Stan Van Gundy knows fighting social injustice and inequality can lead to some uncomfortable conversations. Van Gundy — who has used to Twitter account to speak out and educate others on racial and social issues — spoke about the difficulty of discussing white privilege with other white people in an interview with Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated.
The key, according to Van Gundy, is explaining that just because a white person has privilege doesn’t mean that person hasn’t worked hard. It’s about recognizing some don’t have that opportunity in the first place.
