Summary of George Yancy's NYT letter "Dear White America"

The letter "Dear White America" that George Yancy writes in the New York Times is aimed at all the white people in America.  His belief is that the society has been set up to be one that is racist and therefore a white person is racist by merely existing and benefiting in that society and continuing to further the racial injustice.  The author tries to equate the systems of racism with white people and sexism with men.  He says that although he tries to not be sexist, the fact that he is a man in a society that is sexist against women makes him guilty of being sexist.  In the same way, a white person who exists in today's racist society makes that person guilty of racism. He says that white people have many privileges.
