It’s been well over twenty years and I’m still furious about my African American literature class where this white girl (English, French, German, Irish, Italian…and a little bit of Native American) spent every class yelling at the professor (a black man) about racism - ThreadSky

Some just people refuse (out of ignorance or mind isn't strong enough so it just rejects the idea) to consider that maybe they're the problem.

Do you think she's opened her mind or her heart in 20 years?

Displays of White Privilege are always maddening. This one is particularly egregious. That young lady needed to actually read some Black Literature.

What? I'm so sorry. Another white person should have slapped her down.

Don't blame you one bit. I'm angry with you🤬

Did she get schooled? I hope so. ✊🏽

I doubt they hold any tribal identification either

Wonder if much has changed with her and other white women— as a white woman, I am learning to listen more and talk less.

Whenever I go to the States my Irish accent will draw a thousand whities from all corners of the room who want to tell me that they're 15% Irish, or 10% Scottish, or 4% polyester.

Lads, I really don't care - I just want to buy a coffee!

Thanks for the belly laugh!!!

I’d just want you to talk to me about anything with that accent. 😊

Wherever you go, there’s a Karen.

Blonde and blue, but desperately clinging to some distant lineage of ancestry just to tell black people what’s what

I would like to be able to grant her that her heart was in the right place, but one presumes that the point of coming to a class, as a student, is to LEARN, which necessarily entails being able to shut up and listen. One wonders if she would be similarly disruptive with a white professor.
