===The New Abolitionism===
The “White Skin Privilege” idea was created in 1967 by Noel Ignatiev, an acolyte of Derrick Bell and professor at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute. Ignatiev was a member of the [[Communist Party USA]]’s most radical wing, the Provisional Organizing Committee to Reconstitute the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party from 1958–66. The Provisional Organizing Committee was the intellectual forerunner to the [[Freedom Road Socialist Organization]], a [[Vanguardism|vanguard]] group. Writing under the alias Noel Ignatin, Ignatiev co-authored a [[Students for Democratic Society]] (SDS) pamphlet with fellow radical Ted Allen titled, ''White Blindspot''. In 1992 he co-founded ''Race Traitor: Journal of the New Abolitionism''. Its first issue coined the slogan “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.” Its stated objective was to “abolish the white race.” More specifically, the ''New Abolitionist'' newsletter declared:

===Protection from abuse concurrent with practicing racial identity politics===
Racial identity political groups can abuse white skeptics of racial identity grievances and other whites they suspect to be potentially effective opponents of themselves of whom they want to make an example, by marking their words and actions as racist (or racist to a more hostile degree) by means of stripping them of context, tone and intent when they are evaluated.
The example discourages others from expressing negative opinions about the words or actions of the racial identity political group.
If instances of this kind of suppression become notable, and others appear to intervene, leaders of the group can maintain that even the appearance of racism by an authority increases or sustains oppression of the racial group they represent, so such suppression is justified.
This, however, opened them up to the expression of opinion of whites poor enough or not politically connected enough that they could not possibly oppress the political identity group, for whom it would make no sense to suppress, because in the first place, they would be known to be susceptible to the same type of grievances as the group's, even those perpetrated by the political identity group itself.
And in the second place, in applying knowledge of human nature to politics in general, suppressing responses to wrongful treatment, such as the same kind as that found in those types of grievances, doesn't stop the hostile response behind them, but rather keeps it bottled up, which in time comes out harmfully either in a burst or in indirect ways.
The idea of white privilege insulates racial identity political groups from that expression of opinion, because it maintains the fiction that ''any'' white, despite laws of equal opportunity, carries with them the power to oppress, despite any evidence to the contrary, such as tolerance of affirmative action laws (even those extended to people who were never enslaved) or the furtherance of the unproven virtues of diversity and unbridled immigration and widespread hostility to their coming to a close, and a fiction that also maintains a racial favoritism among whites, while prestigious polling agencies show them to be the least selective among racial lines of any race in the world.
