QFT.
Qf nothing, there's still not one example of white privilege in this thread.
It's basically just trying to steer the definition of white privileges to some privileges whites people have that other people also have not just globally but in America. Even using a lot of examples that white people are less privileged in than other races most of the time.
You can take the high ground and call my arguments obtuse, and do an Internet yawn and roll your eyes and make sarcastic comments but these things don't replace a good argument.
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.
