MSNBC’s Touré slammed for tweet touting white privilege of Holocaust survivors [View all]

Touré Neblett found himself on the receiving end of criticism from a number of people after issuing a tweet indicating that those who survived Hitler's "Final Solution" did so only because of their whiteness, Twitchy reported Saturday. Mediaite explained the tweet was the result of Neblett's advocacy of an article in The Atlantic that makes the case for reparations.

"How much do I owe for what Dems did in the first half of the century, while my family was in Eurppe running from Nazis, or in Dachau?" one person asked Neblett on Twitter. "My family survived a concentration camp, came to the US w/ nothing, LEGALLY, and made it work."

Neblett responded: "The power of whiteness."

That message prompted angry responses from a number of people, including the person whose family survived the Holocaust.
