White people need saving?

[MrScorpio]

17. What's more problematic, criticism of racist whites like King...

Or the suggestion that it's up to people who are reaping the benefit of white privilege to do something about people like King?

In spite of your objection in which you think that all whites are being slammed, including yourself, the fact remains that all whites are beneficiaries of white privilege, whether they want to be or not.

And I should point out that the biggest and most pervasive benefit of that privilege is the mere fact that white people can simply deny that it exists, or they as individuals are beneficiaries of it.

I mean, take a good look at this guy:



Can you say that you yourself can gather all the white people that you know who are well aware of their own privilege and talk to him in an effort to convince him that he's wrong?

Because that's exactly what it's going to take in this country to advance the cause of equality: People of privilege are first going to have to admit and realize that they're privileged and second, are required to spread the word to others in their class of the same thing.

It starts with oneself and moves on from there.
