White Privilege, Racism, White Denial & The Cost of Inequality

[JustAnotherGen]

15. I don't do call outs

Because it is a sure fire way to get a post hidden.

But in a thread in the past two days on white privilege in GD - the thread killers were:

1. Watch your tone.
2. It's about class warfare not race - white privilege is the wrong phrase.
3. Stop bringing up race and gender in every conversation.


Number three is hysterical because it was a thread about race!

You know what group 'gets it"? HOF. They get "it'".

BOG regulars? They "get" it.

After that? It falls on deliberately ignorant eyes and ears that don't want to hear.

Should more people at DU sit and watch Mr. Wise? Absolutely.

But then they would have to admit they've been BAMBOOZLED. They would have to admit that deep down inside some wealthy white male "Influencer" told them that "those people" took something from you . . . And deep down inside - they bought into it - just a little bit.

Welcome to the AA Group. I saw your post outside of here on this subject and have a ton of respect for you to even attempt to get well meaning progressives to open their hearts to what racism looks like in this century.
