(18,124 posts)been surprised by the apologists for zimpig and wilson on here. The societal and cultural privilege a lot on here have enjoyed is at stake. It creates certain blind spots that put glaucoma to shame. I have gained an education from the civil rights movement all the way to DU. There are always the 'usual suspects' present. denying, deflecting and whining about 'reverse racism. I will answer their BS, but it an exercise in futility. Privilege is not something given up easily by people who have enjoyed it for generations to the detriment of all minorities. A lot could care less. But they will try to ease their own conscience by appearing to be one thing while BEING the exact opposite. I'm here on your shoulder as well as many others, you are not alone. Don't let them bait you. Your are standing on firm moral ground with the truth as your sword. Never give up your sword. Been carrying one for over 50 years now.
