You know, every time you open your mouth about that word, it sounds more ignorant than the last fucking time. You want to know why? You have no idea what people have been through. What they go through on a day to day basis. What their family life is like, their social life, their medical life, their financial life. You have NO fucking IDEA what each and every person goes through and yet somehow you believe they somehow have an advantage (sorry, āprivilegeā) over you is just fucking disgusting. How about you go back to your college education that is probably being given to you through Affirmative Action or any other of the hundreds of fucking programs out there to prioritize and substitute money into making black kids successful, all while expecting the āwhite kidsā to do it all on their own. Why donāt you go contribute to your black student union that can complain about the most minute issues while the white students have to put up with the issues because people like you donāt think itās possible to discriminate a white person. How about you go back to your BET or Ebony magazine where you can be UNIQUELY REPRESENTED whereas the white kids have to do with whatās on regular TVā¦usually portraying things like ā12 Years A Slaveā or āThe Helpā basically making white people out to be this evil oppressive autocratic dictatorship of a race when you are so blatantly ignorant that you canāt even realize that the white race is made up of hundreds of ethnicities. Irish, German, Polish, Italian, Russian, Ukrainian, British, Spanish, Austrian, Slovakian (the origin of the term āslaveā), Czech, Lithuanian, Scottish, etc etc etc etc etc. You act like each of these damn ethnicities has been treated above and beyond better than any person of color when in reality several of these ethnicites have faced the same if not more institutional oppression as you. In fact, you havenāt even FACED oppression because youāre some entitled little black kid in the United States thinking that oppression means being called out as a criminal when you are (racial profiling) or other idiotic things. You see this man?
This man is the person who catalyzed your freedoms. The freedoms youāve had and always have had since you were born. This man wrote an impressive speech with the most beautiful analogies and linguistic skills as humanly possible. He conveyed the emotions he felt as he discussed how heād have to tell his daughter that she was considered āless thanā the other kids. He spent time in jail for peaceful protests. He lived in an era of peaceful protests by African Americans where they would politely sit in and refuse to move. They didnāt complain day in and day outā¦they went and DID. They achieved so much for you as well as the millions of white people that supported the Civil Rights Movement. And what do you repay this amazing era in history with? Complaintsā¦accusations of bullshit āracismā when in reality itās your own inefficiencies not allowing you to get places because you have every fucking opportunity that anyone else has because of THIS MAN. Perhaps youād also remember this man:
This is a white man. Do you know who he is? Hint: Heās on our national currency penny. Heās the 16th president of the United Statesā¦a Republican I might add. He signed a little document that changed history forever because it was the FIRST of its kindā¦allowing slavery to be abolished. Do you know what this document was called? Thatās right! The Emancipation Proclamation. We fought an entire war because of his devotion to your race, to allow you to be free. Both of these men died in the name of YOU. And you would wish to continue to sit here and claim everything is āprivilegeā. I think you have more privilege than I. A beautiful and amazing history and heritage that you can shout to the heavens. You have a rich culture that you can love and identify with without being labeled a āliteral Naziā. You can do everything regarding race just with the snap of your fingers where someone else would be labeled a āsupremacistā for doing so.
So cut your āprivilegeā bullshit. These men did not fight for you to come back and throw it back in their face to be disrespectful, hateful, bigoted, asinine, and rude.
Iām so sick of this racial debacle that has continued over and over again despite having finished brilliantly in 1963 with the āI Have a Dreamā speech. Iām so sick of race continuing to be an identifiable feature to you, whereas the rest of the world is sick of seeing race as an important aspect in a personās character, individuality, and beliefs. Why you wish to continue to claim oppression where there is none, I have no fucking idea.
So shove your āprivilegeā up your fucking ass and do some fucking research.
EDIT: Let it be known that I have originally commented on this in the most benevolent means possible; to identify this as human excellence instead of a race doing well because we are now one, we are united, we are equal. The sheer number of people reblogging this and claiming that this is actually āblack excellenceā instead of human excellence (because I guess only black people get colon cancer?) further shows me that youād rather be segregated from society. Youād rather identify with your race than join the rest of the world in unity. Youād much rather make things about yourself than just praise this for the medical miracle it is. As one of my friends brilliantly pointed out ācolon cancer doesnāt effect just black people, he wasnāt doing this maliciously to make it an accomplishment for blacks, he was doing it because he was passionate in making a difference. He wanted to help people. Not provide achievements for his race. He wanted to provide achievements to humanity and the great things we can accomplishā. It appears everyone else commenting on this would much rather be selfish bigots than to praise this as a miracle for everyone who suffers from this disease. Good job being assholes.
