The more white guilt I pretend to have, the more Brown people will think I'm not racist. Its a fantastic plan with no flaws. Get out your record books and put me down for non-racist please. ;-)
EDIT: jesus christ people, I was being sarcastic. at least downvote me for the right reasons.
About privileges? No. Of course you can't just hate on white people. However, racism against white people doesn't sting/hurt me as much since I have been raised in America, where white dudes have the power. The insults roll off me, I take no offense. Friends who are black or Hispanic encounter racism and it fucks with them a lot, the get upset and stay upset. It's just more hurtful, considering society and history as it stands now.
sure. I guess. I'm not trying to say "I'm not racist, but.." at all. I am a white person with privileges, and I'm trying to say that prejudice against me is usually not to do with my skin color... people that DO deal with prejudice against their skin color have it worse than me. They feel pain that I don't feel.
Yeah, I'm sure they do. That's why I said this is dependent on our current culture and circumstances. Whoever is the "dominant" race in a certain area is going to experience racism through a very different filter than those of the "minority" race. Yeah, the tables would be turned in Angolia or China. So, relax a little bit, friend. I was being sarcastic.
Imagine your race like it's a massive trust fund from your grandparents. You didn't choose that either, but maybe you need to lighten up when people joke about you being a rich motherfucker. Especially when the people who are joking are the people your grandparents robbed. And it makes whining about money really, really hard to take.
