What having white privilege means:
- You, because of your whiteness and your whiteness alone, have uncountable and unfair advantages over POC because of centuries long oppression. These advantages can help you in every aspect of life and are completely unwarranted and built on murder, death, and hate.
- That you need to recognize this and get over it and work with POC to make everything 100% equal for everyone ever(who would say no to that?)
- That once everything is 100% equal in all aspects of life, there will be no white privilege to loathe.
This is fucking important
Please stop deliberately misinterpreting this concept so that you can take it as a personal slight
