I may not even be able to spell it right. I don't know.
All these 20 something kids and their 30 something aunts are running around spouting about White Privilege. They say white folks are horrible, entitled, affluent and generally advantaged people who apparently can not be redeemed.
Does it not occur to them that they are in fact the very evil they speak of? That they cannot be redeemed? That it would seem from their own rhetoric that nothing they can do or say or otherwise accomplish in their lifetime can make up for a horrible and blighted history of malevolent disservice to minorities and disadvantaged people?
I mean, should these people not be immediately dropping out of college, living off the grid, moving to 3rd world countries? Is it me? Are they not by definition the very problem they rail against? How can you attend a 30k + a year school or work at a job that pays you north of 40k a year and not be "privileged"?
Should they not give up their homes, their cars, their possessions for people who have less (people of color, obviously?) How can they stand there with straight faces and pretend that they aren't the very example of White Privilege that they seem to hate so much?
I'm not being facetious here. I truly fail to understand their position here.
