Not only is white privilege a thing, but republican privilege is also a thing

We all know what would've happened if armed African Americans stormed the Michigan capitol like those white people did today. They would've likely been gunned down.

But what if Obama had his own inept son in law like Jared Kushner and appointed him to solve Middle East peace and the coronavirus pandemic for the United States.

Just imagine the outcry.

Republican privilege is also a thing.

Just ask the outraged citizens of Weld County Colorado. It's the place Rachel Maddow has talked at length about, where the county commissioners (republicans all) defied the governor's policies and told businesses they could start to reopen. We just learned today that they ignored the advice of the health department. Privilege, indeed.
