i dont think whites understand how being white makes literally everything easier.
it effects everything.
being trans is easier when youre white.
being gay is easier when youre white.
being disabled is easier when youre white.
being a woman is easier when youre white.
being autistic is easier when youre white.
oppression is eased when you are white, as you get extra privileges, and your whiteness is seen as a positive characteristic that in some ways counter-balances your other forms of being a minority. whiteness controls everything.
you are automatically way more innocent in your own oppression as a gay, trans, disabled person because of your whiteness.
never forget this.
three things:
1. it’s true
2. white people get pissed when i bring this up/wear this shirt
3. the comments to this thread melted my fucking eyeballs seriously why the fuck are y’all like this
I Think an important thing that people genuinely forget is that white privilege doesn't mean that being white means your life is never hard. No one's here to make that claim. White privilege only means that your race won't make thinks any harder, and it's very important to make that distinction before you start wining that white people have it hard too. We know. But you will always have it just that little bit less hard because of your privilege.
