The privilege of having the powers that be at least follow the fuck through, like they're supposed to. Some privilege, eh? Now imagine how shitty it must be not to have -that- privilege, really, take a few seconds to consider it......then, if you like, continue to argue that it doesn't exist.
But then the officers who killed Freddie Grey were aquitted. He was black. So the privilege of being killed by police then the police being charged and aquitted and enjoying this from beyond the grave aren't exclusively white privileges.
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.
