White Privlige and Ignoring the Problem
#54
RE: White Privlige and Ignoring the Problem
*sigh* I really REALLY don't want to watch this forum turn into another extension of Atheism+.

I'll be the first to admit, white privilege is a thing. It exists. I'm also forced to say, there are a lot of people, especially on the internet, who attach the word "privilege" onto the backs of other words as an excuse to be jerks.

So, to translate it into something I can get, it would be easy for me to cry "cis privilege" every time someone here disagrees with me. I hate using that term, though. I'd much rather explain what they said wrong and explain why it's wrong and I'd like to be able to do so in such a way that they can understand it and that most reasonable people can agree with (or, if not agree, at least understand). If I'm unable to do that, the problem is mine in that I simply don't understand the issue well enough myself.

So, my only issue with black privilege is that I've seen way too many people use it as an excuse to bully people online. I don't care how much privilege I have or how little I have, if I say something that makes sense, it makes sense. If I'm an asshole, I can be an asshole with lots of privilege or an asshole with no privilege.
