I'm White And Don't Have White Privilege

The article is 100% not worth reading (unless you haven't heard of this Martin Luther King dude that I keep seeing brought up) but I wanted to ask if someone out there has yet to make a tumblr or something that compiles articles of white people completely misunderstanding what white privilege is

 

'Why am I in handcuffs?': Wyclef Jean tweets mistaken identity case

 

Some walking piece of flaming dumpster trash went to New York with the intent to kill black men, and then he killed a black man.

The black man that was killed, Timothy Caughman, was doing nothing more that existing when he was stabbed in the back and murdered by said dumpster trash. This is how the media is portraying Timothy Caughman, the victim.

 

Awful awful awful. Hope the scum that killed him has a terrible life.

 

So I don't usually post in this thread, particularly but I've noticed something happening with one of my friends and I'm curious if there's any good articles on it.

I have a friend who's a white girl that legitimately believes she is black. I believe it started happening a few years ago when she started dating a black guy and ended up moving in with him (before he cheated on her and she moved back home). She has told me things like "I've listened to hip hop for years before you knew me", "I don't really hang out with white people anymore", and "I've always been this way, you just don't know me.". I've known her for 10 years and she's never been like this, we lost touch when she started dating that guy and I've been talking to her since she's moved back. She has racist parents, I think that's a factor. She's changed her look completely and her personality in attempts to try to engage this new persona. She was never like this but I did notice she has gone through multiple phases in life and I'm guessing this is just the next one, possibly. I've always thought she may have an issue because she's gone through this and transformed before but she legitimately claims that this is normal and how she's always been. As I mentioned before she refuses to hang out with any of her old friends irl because they aren't part of the culture that she's badly trying to embrace. I've just found it relatively interesting, its fine if she wants to do that but it's weird when you chat up with your friends but don't want to be seen with them because you'll lose "cred". I've supported her thus far but she's treated me and her other friends like crap in favor of her new friends. Idk.

 

Didn't know you were friends with Rachel Dolezal.

 

That's kind of how it feels but she hasn't pretended to legally be black and joined the NAACP yet.

 

13th is the best thing on Netflix. That Democrats thought black Americans would come out for Hillary is absolutely laffable. What an embarrassment.

 

Where have you been?

How dare you have a life!

 

Where the hell you been?

 

So my friend and I had another conversation about our friend who thinks she's actually black now and he was curious of it was similar to trans... it was a day.

 

These Women Started a Company to Teach White People How to Be Less Racist

 

I always thought I should get into consulting work.

 

Wow this thread.

 

real talk

 

Literally every time a coworker brings up race it's messy af. I'm so done. I wish I could banish the topic being brought up at work 4ever. Just nooooo


Edit: phone, why are you autocorrecting "race" to "face" ???

 

I guess that does it, then. I just unliked his page on Facebook. His petty tone was starting to get old/annoying anyway.

I need more activists to follow, I want to stay informed, but at the same time, part of me wants to stop looking at stuff, for mental health purposes. I unsubscribed to all the late night shows on YouTube, including the more political satirists, as funny as they are. Feeling shitty about the world is the last thing I need when I'm feeling shitty about myself.

 

I followed him for like a second some time ago. Quickly unfollowed because he's quite frankly a shitty writer. But other than that I felt like something was off other than his inability to elaborate and explain certain concepts. In fact that's many people's reactions saying "I knew there was something weird but just can't... figure it out." But now we know

 

I don't know if y'all have seen the new pepsi ad but it's uh..messy to say the least.

Here are some people shitting on it on twitter:

 

I wish I could copy all those as an image

 

I am still having trouble acknowledging the fact that perhaps one of the biggest or at least popular platforms for Asian Americans regarding race and politics is owned by a gaslighting sexist-ass douchebag who fetishizes black women who is also a former PUA turned "activist" after realizing its profitability.

 

Apparently, she's done amateur porn.
