I know someone who complains daily about how he isn’t priveleged ‘cause he’s a broke phd student. Sir. SIR!

The “I’m not rich so I can’t be privileged” argument is so obnoxious. It’s a lot more simple than that.
Your comeback: “No, your white privilege is being able to drive that car without fear of getting shot.”
Unfortunately, you can replace drive and car for almost anything and it will still apply in the US.
There’s literally nothing that can be done to explain white privilege to those people. Nothing. They are irredeemable and lost and cannot be saved, and this is why Ellen’s speech about kindness is dumb as fuck.
I find it helpful to think of it in terms of a lack of obstacles, rather than the presence of advantages. It seems like that’s the idea people often get hung up on — “my life sucks and nothing goes well for me, so where is this privilege?” — and I don’t think they’re really wrong to think that way. It’s like an…
“White privilege” is sort of like “toxic masculinity” in that people make an assumption about the meaning, make absolutely no attempt to verify their assumption, and then act like it’s liberal nonsense instead of a real thing that happens in society and affects all of us.
Couple that with the fact that there’s a…
OMG trying to explain what ‘white privilege’ means to my family is a fucking chore. White privilege doesn’t mean that white people don’t have to work hard for what we have, or that white people’s poverty doesn’t exist. Its that white people’s poverty is seen through a more sympathetic lens. That our hard work is…
Ugh. Shit like this is why I roll my eyes when people say things like “I can’t wait for the Boomer generation to die out so we don’t have to deal with this kind of nonsense anymore.” Um, their kids are JUST LIKE THEM, if not worse.
Damn this hit a bit home, the majority of my coworkers are white. Lately they have been joking about their white privilege. For example “oh I have WHITE PRIVILEGE, so I have a car.”
While I try to avoid thinking truly evil thoughts, deep down, nothing in this world would make me happy than to see this ass clown get hit with a MASSIVE stroke, one that affected not only his ability to speak but to type. I am just so fucking sick of this.
I got a real spicy take over here: I think the president tweets too much.
You must really love your wife
Goddamn Stephen Miller’s face is so punchable. It boggles my mind that we’re the same age...the hate just shows on peoples’ faces.
I giddily look forward to the day that Dancing With the Stars declines his agent’s offer to appear as a contestant. I will make a big fucking unfrosted white cake, push two little chocolate chips into the spongey top, and pretend I am eating his stupid head.
This guy is absolutely believable as a child molester/rapist; like out of central casting.
If several one night stands refuse to speak with him then he should REALLY examine his behaviour. Jebus. He couldn't figure that out himself?
That sentiment certainly speaks to the fear a lot of men have today about being accused. I’m totally fine with that. Men should live in fear for a change. They’ve been indulged for far too long.
“Me too frenzy”? Women aren’t coming forward because we’re so caught up in the moment, we’re coming forward, in a non-frenzied manner, because we realise we’re not alone, we don’t have to stay quiet and minimise or repress our experiences, creeps should be held accountable and there is nothing to be ashamed of. The…
Women can buy into toxic masculinity too, dipshit.
I completely agree about Middleditch, but in the end, his wife should just leave. Like, at any point one person in a relationship can be like, “Listen, I’m going to start having sex with other people. Do with that what you will.” And if that’s making their partner miserable, that partner should just bail. Every time I…
