PSA: White people who say “why are you lumping all white people together, I’m not like that!”

Are 100% “like that”.

are we done policing white people yet? if you really want progression then start trying to teach others, not condemn and fight with them over privilege. privilege clearly exists and we need to be aware of that. but we need to teach others to be aware of it instead of attacking them when they display it. in order to make progress in the struggle for equality we have to stop holding grudges towards, and ideals of, the way we wish we could make people see or act less ignorantly.

instead of attacking and feeling the need to offend, generalize, and diminish the weight of others’ words, thoughts, and feelings by dismissing them as privileged and thus blind to your struggles, please speak up and use your humanity to communicate in a way that can nurture and teach others about the world around them and the people in it whom they are not yet cognizant of.

Bullshit.

They are totally cognizant. No one owes them in education. And they don’t listen when it is offered.

How about you go educate everyone, and fuck off telling those of us who deal with the bullshit 24/7 how to cope with shit?

I’m not the one “attacking” anyone - white people fuck everything up but we gotta talk about how they feel attacked for being told so? I don’t give a fuck.
