ATLANTA – An Atlanta eighth-grader’s “White Boy Privilege” slam poem recorded at an end of school event is gaining acclaim from social justice warriors, and providing insight into how race issues are framed in public schools.
Royce Mann, 14, took first place at an end of the year slam poem contest at The Paideia School this year and a YouTube video of his rant “White Boy Privilege” is now going viral online, RollingOut.com reports.
In the video, Mann – a white boy – apologizes to black people, Asian Americans, Native Americans, immigrants and “everyone who isn’t a middle or upper class white boy.”
