People from Georgia, U.S.A.

This guy woke up one day, and dressed up like that on purpose.

We have capital punishment, and yet, it still happened!

No, no it isn’t. Capital punishment does not solve any problems. It is the state killing one of its citizens.

She is only claiming he is a nice guy because he hasn’t been captured yet. He is still a threat to everyone and putting the blame on her. If she condemns him in any kind of way it could make the situation worse for other innocent people. She is trying not to set him off further.

“God” has never been more than the answer to a four-year-old asking “but why?” a hundred times in a row. It is the fill-in for the unknowable. Back when we didn’t understand volcanoes and storms, we invented Hephaestus and Zeus.

I’ve always thought this really the best way to understand privilege. It doesn’t mean you’re going to win every battle, just improves the probability.

How many times in the past year were you accosted by the police? How many times were those situations escalated through no fault of your own? How many times have you been passively or overtly denied service or goods? How many times have people responded to you with antagonism in simple exchanges? How many times have…

P.S. Think of it like an RPG, if you’re a gamer. Instead of Health, Strength, Dexterity, etc., you get Wealth, Racial Advantage, Physical Ability, etc. Being black in America is like a -10 to Racial Advantage. If your other stats are pretty good, or you’re a really good player, you might still be able to make a strong…

“Privileged” isn’t an insult. It means “you have some advantage other people don’t have.” Often, it’s used to point out that someone is making an argument about a situation they’ve never personally been in, and therefore is mistaken about some piece of information they’re claiming as fact. You can use it as part of…

Self-hatred is a mf. Nothing makes a bad thing worse than when people try to explain it.

No, it’s easier than a black man who is in the exact same situation. It’s not about being easier than every black man’s. As the other poster said, imagine if you were also black. This whole article has been comparing people in equivalent situations. Did you even read it?

You’re looking at this wrong. Think about how your life would be if all of the above were true and ALSO you were black. What might that do to the quality of health care you receive? To interactions with police?

No. It gets TAKEN as an insult. But it isn’t one, any more than it would be an insult to call a wealthy person “rich” or a lottery winner “lucky.”

I think the key audience is probably white people who are aware of white privilege, but are not fully aware of how concretely and widespread it plays out, and are still not doing the right things with their privilege. I know a lot of perfectly well-meaning white liberals who think that the disadvantages people of…

Facts and statistics will never prove anything to the ignorant. Anyone who would read a piece like this and have their opinion changed likely never had a shitty opinion to begin with.

Got some fragile motherfuckers up in here.

These wypipo are deflecting to ‘Asian privilege’ and I’m like “ugh, really?” I’ve destroyed the concept before, but idk if I feel like doing it again. Too much trash making a stink this morning.

Another excellent piece, Mr. Harriot.
