7. Most people who talk about privilege at DU don't talk about privilege that way (neutral).

I'm referring to the text in the image.

The first part (what privilege isn't) is full of references to things with valence while the second part (what privilege is) is neutral thoughts not good or bad. I mean, is there something inherently good or bad about thinking a thought a privileged person would never think?

I don't privilege is thoughts with neutral valence, or is it?

8. Stand up

10. K&R. And think of the creativity wasted having to defend oneself as a marginalized group always.

We are wasting the capacity of the human race to do great things and solve the biggest problems. We can no longer afford this kind of vanity and ignorance.

Those whose mouth is running over a marginalized person, cannot learn what they need to know about the future. They are too busy listening to the sound of their own voices echoing.

Listen and learn. It's enjoyable to learn, and the woman who made this video is a joy to hear. Thanks for posting this, napkinz!

11. 'We are wasting the capacity of the human race

to do great things and solve the biggest problems.' That's a great point freshwest. Indeed it's enjoyable to listen and learn.

Much agreed that this video is a joy. It's great learning more about how to be an ally. She captures it very well, with humor.
