Lakers star penned a lengthy article that was featured in Players’ Tribune with regards to ongoing Black Lives Matter movement. Kuzma used an interesting analogy involving an ‘invisible backpack’ to explain what ‘white privilege’ is in layman’s terms. Kyle Kuzma wrote, “ best analogy I’ve heard that explains white privilege is that it’s like an invisible backpack that every white person wears. If you’re white and you’re ever in a situation where you might need help, you can take that backpack off, open it up, and pull out all sorts of s**t.”

Lakers star did t stop re and went on to talk about how systemic racism is so ingrained in society that people fail to recognise it when it's right in front of ir eyes. Kuzma added, “That’s why white people have to realise, it’s t just about your ‘heart’ or your individual mindset. Like how some people say, ‘I don’t have a racist bone in my body.’ Well, system does, and you can’t see it because it benefits you.”
