Correcting grammar is racist.

None of those "privileges" are even modestly relevant to this discussion, which is why it is a red herring. That fact ought to be noted.

There's healthy people, so cancer isn't a worry.

There's fat people, so starvation isn't a concern.

I think you have a pretty deep misunderstanding of what white privilege is and isn't. If you have two sprinters in a 500-meter race, and spot one of them a ten-meter head start, it still doesn't guarantee that runner the victory.

In the same sense, white privilege is not proof against poverty or jail time. But being white avails me of many opportunities that help me avoid poverty and eschew a life of crime.

The whole healthy people, so health isn't a concern argument, I don't get it. What does that have to do with what I said?

Correct a runner who's given a head start may not win, and you're correct I don't understand what white privilege is.

What special rights, advantages and immunities do you have as a white person that no other group is entitled to including all other racial groups globally?


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
