If someone doesn't understand privilege, show them this video

[WillParkinson]

Just don't read the ignorant comments.

1. But I remember this one time where I was white and I got treated like bad and stuff.

So...yeah.

[handmade34]

2. and then if you really don't understand...

watch "Crown Heights" (watched it last night... I cried, I yelled at the TV, I was ashamed for our Country and judicial system...)

[Doremus]

3. Bible verse at the end of the video, I John 3:17-18 vs. repukes' fave John 3:16

"If anyone has material possessions and see a brother in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us love not in word or talk but in deed and truth." I John 3:17-18


As we all know, Repukes love to hide behind John 3:16 ("For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believeth in him shall have everlasting life." ) because it's their get out of jail free card. Many evangelicals believe they can commit any number of sins throughout their lives with abandon and no concern at all for their eternal soul.

How many times though have you seen them reciting I John 3:17-18? Never?

I'm going to use this the next time they prosetheletize and observe the reaction. lol


Great video, thanks.

4. Get thee to the greatest page

Great video

[Squinch]

5. Wouldn't it have been great if all the guys in the front said, "Wait, before you start the race,

let's all go back to the starting line."

Privilege is that it never occurred to them to do that. Whoever took home that $100 is an asshole.

[chowder66]

6. Yep, I thought they should go back to the starting line as well. It was disappointing they didn't

think to.

[erronis]

8. No, the point was made better - the starting line is not even.

7. Big Kick & Rec. Powerful, moving video, thanks. 'Given a Head Start', understatement.

9. And the winner is now the boss.

(Doesn't matter if you actually know anything when you control the money.)

Now eat your gruel and get back to work or we'll get one of the millions of unemployed to do twice the work for half your pay!

[ProudLib72]

10. I'm not worried

I'm absolutely 100% certain that that $100 will trickle down through the 2nd, 3rd, 4th...... place finishers and eventually end up in the pockets of those at the back of the line.

[moondust]

11. Right.

[cpamomfromtexas]

12. Excellent. Could include question about abuse from a parent.
