When it comes to what's best for Black People, it's time for White People to mind their business

164. If you don't like

the opinions of white people, don't listen. Isn't that what you're saying, "Just mind your own business?" It goes both ways, kind of like constructive communication. You see, if you tell some poor white man, who lives from hand to mouth, who can't feed his family or get a job, that he's part of a system of privilege, he's going to laugh at you. When he replies that you're better off than he is, and you tell him that's none of his business, he will take offense. Since he is most likely poorly educated and probably not too bright, he's going to be all ears when someone who is privileged says that what you want is to horn in on the crumbs that fall from his master's table. When you tell progressive whites, especially those who have fought for civil rights most of lives, that they are just a bunch of privileged racist, they might just tell you to shove it.
