Privilege = shit you don't have to put up with

[bravenak]

65. Funny how you always show up on privilege threads to argue against the term.

Funny. You always show up. Funny. You always show up to argue semantics. Funny. You always show up on privilege threads to argue against strangers using words you don't like. Funny how you like to show up and tell black people what words they should use to describe the very real problem of institutional racism. Funny how you seem to think you as a white man think you have the capacity to better and more accurately describe what black people go through in this country on a daily basis than we ourselves do.

You know what Joe? It's not your job to tell us what words we can use to describe the issue of institutional racism in america. We do not want or need your advise on how to desbribe the problem or to tell us which words you would prefer that we use. Okay?

You are wrong on this issue and you need to just accept that we are going to use the term white privilege any time we feel like it whether you think its helpful or real or accurate. Not your job to make those decisions for us and i am asking you now to please stop.

And i want to let you in on a secret. You can just opt to not read these threads at all if the term bothers you so bad. Reaally though!
