Have you noticed these two patterns?

[Kind of Blue]

55. Funny, I thought the movie at the end

of the clip was some other video starting up. Found it was a miniseries called North and South that came out in1985.

"But no one's ever said 'You don't speak for all white people.' It's assumed as part of white privilege that each white person is an individual human being whereas a black person who disagrees is 'the other.' Some spokesperson or non-spokesperson, rather than an individual also sharing their experiences."

And therein lies the answer as to why they keep confusing racist and privilege, the words indivisualizes those terms instead of causing a deeper look at the invisible supremacy that shapes us all and normalizes privilege, and discomfort and denial ensues. But that's a good first step, to agitate, to get them to feel. I hope Pastor Martin Niemöller's brilliant poem "First they came for.." is what a lot of whites are awakening to, especially in this election season, as we're seeing majority of PoC turning their backs on the majority of those who did not speak out for us. It's not a one-way street.

Thanks for the reference material. I'm glad two of them are accessible online!
