Me: *falls in love* Me: I’ve been… Scammed

I am a white cis male who:

- Is not handicapped, but I used to be.

Am I still able body privileged?

- Was expected to go to college because nobody else in my family had ever done so BECAUSE we were so poor a scholarship would be my only chance in hell.

Am I still class privileged?

- Has had almost exclusively negative experiences with police always violating my rights with violent justification while I was always compliant, and I am ready for them to attempt to kill me, and do not trust them.

Am I still white male privilaged?

- Was verbally and physically attacked for years for my skin color while I attended urban schools.

Am I still race privileged?

I understand that privilege is invisible to those that have it. I understand that many need to check their own privilege and perspective.

But I won’t be told who or what I am or what I do and don’t know about or can and can’t relate to based on generalizations because of what you ASSUME I am.

And I’ve bled for that.

You can’t trust history books cuz they’re WHITE history

and you can’t trust the dictionary definition of racism because WHITE people wrote it.

Racism means prejudice + power!

Educate yourself!

It does!? Shit! ok….. let’s learn about the true definition of racism that they don’t want you to know about..  doop-dee-dooo….

Now we’re talkin. RationalWiki should be a good start. 

You can never be sure if the article was written by a white person tho, so I wanna get it straight from the horses mouth and find out about the original definition from the original creators that’s never before been seen, until now..

“Criticisms of the Definition”, please….. Ok, I’ll check out the book that popularized it, “White Awareness: Handbook for anti-racism training". it must be popular for a reason.

Seems legit, and only 10 bucks! That’s not too bad. Who’s the author?

What the fuck? Just some white ass-kisser. 

Figures the only way anyone would pay attention would be if it was a white woman. I’m not buying this. 

Alright let’s go to the source. The original black queen who coined the phrase in her book from 1970 “Developing New Perspectives on Race“, Pat A. Bidol. 

Finally we’ll see a strong black woman setting these white people straight.

What. 

the. 

fuck!?!?

Sorry, this definition was made by white people, I can’t trust it…
