Touch of brilliance right there.

any time someone says white privilege isnt real all i hear is them saying "well if white privilege exists, then why did I get fired for saying the n word at work???"

I want this on a t-shirt. My husband always took umbrage with this sentiment by stating “I’ve never benefitted.” And I would respond: you’ve never been deliberately held back by the color of your skin.

I can look at traffic stops I've had and been able to go "I got treated better because I'm white didn't I? I mean I'm polite too... but I'm white"

Oh I can guarantee that’s been the case with some of my traffic stops. “White privilege” isn’t an extra $1000 a month or a guaranteed promotion, it’s the smaller shit you don’t have to think about or even deal with because you’re white.

When I lived up north, and worked at the place the police took their breaks, that was only part of why they'd all let me go when i got in trouble. Being white was a major part of it.

this has been the weirdest thing I've seen in weeks. I just can't imagine the balls of actually putting this out in the world and thinking "oh people will totes like and agree with me"

I saw it and was like “hmm this can’t be what it looks like, I must be missing something,” but didn’t think about it much. Then come to find out nope—that’s just, it.
